I don’t understand why you Indians continue to live where the white man put you- on a reservation. Illegals aliens live in houses for crying out loud, banks even give them mortgages. What benefit is there to living as your ancestors did 150 years ago?

“Are there ANY “Indians” alive today that suffered at the hands of the government? Same goes for Black people.

This racial handout garbage has to END sometime.”

Ditto!

It’s a RACIST way to make WHITEY pay for something they had nothing to do with. It’s the racial way to dilute WHITE wealth. Remember, whites are still the majority.

In a word, yes.

And unsurprisingly all sorts of people came out of the woodwork claiming to be members of this or that tribe since the profits from the casinos are split amongst the tribe.

I am squarely behind the Seneca Nation in upstate NY. Here they are, playing the hand that they were delt, and showing some entrepreneurship with their cigarette businesses. And NYS Governors having been giving them trouble for years. It’s about the exorbitant tax money that the state feels is owing to them. A carton is over $100 in the Metro NY area, and about half of that is between Federal and state taxes.

There are also some Indians on Long Island who sell cigarettes, but I’m not sure of their tribe.

I say more power to them.
