"PROTECT CHEROKEE CULTURE FOR OUR CHILDREN. FOR OUR DAUGHTER[S] . . . FIGHT AGAINST THE INFILTRATION."

Very interesting coming from the Cherokee nation. A few things come to mind while reading this story.

First, why are the Indian tribes allowed the right to self-determination when white Americans are not?

Second, I think I can hear the tribes laughing at how stupid American people are for not having the same sense of self-determination by filling the coffers of those that would do them and their children harm with a smile on their face.

Third, didnt the US have a stroke during the 80's over South Africa doing very similar things, aka apartheid?

Fourth, where the heck is the outrage from such pivotal (tongue in cheek) black leaders and groups such as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the NAACP, Rainbow Coalition?

Fifth, the Cherokee statement of self-determination when used by whites is called racism. Why is it ok for minorities to have an agenda of self-determination while whites are only allowed to have an agenda of multi-culturalism?

Sixth, I'm sick of hearing people complain about the cost of living and in the next breath planning their casino getaway for the weekend.

Did I mention I'm not a big fan of the Indian gambling racket?

I have no problem with anything you've said. I don't know why minorities continue to get a free ride when they want live in their own neighborhoods (Chocolate City), exclude others due to race (Black Caucus) and all the other reverse racist ideas that whites are vilified for. And why no one honestly and gently calls them on it and explains the hypocrisy, beyond the talk radio types.
