the Indians also have their own laws, their own court system, their own separate and protected racial identity, benefits, lands, it is equal under the law unless you are Native American, I guess the argument is that they were here first, which they were, so their stake is protected from us, the invaders

Too bad they practiced their own version of genocide by wiping out other tribes. We might have had a larger population of them.

As for their laws, they will be moot as they will:

drink themselves into non-existence eventually,
join the USA and become AMERICAN citizens,
be PROUD to be citizens of this wonderful country,
get jobs,
marry into the locals and become ONE OF US,
get jobs,
get high school diplomas,
get college degrees,
get jobs,
get political jobs and be politicians,
get jobs,
pay federal and state (where applicable) income taxes,
get retirement checks to supplement the guilt money money from the nasty old whities who have been SUCKERED into giving us money for NOTHING.

**One bright point: since the Indians managed to massacre/eliminate so many other tribes there IS more money for the surviving tribes.

Great White Spirit BLESS our genocide of those "others."

YET MORE SARC.!

They weren’t here first. They came in from Asia.

If they'd had a bigger defense budget, they'd still own this place.
