It's dumb when people act like an authority on groups of people they don't even know, and really it is ban-worthy to spout such racism. I guess it's just ignorance/arrogance though.

I'm not saying Native Americans don't suffer disproportional from alcohol abuse and disorders, it's just nowhere near the level that the stereotypes claim.



True, but it's also racist to claim everyone who isn't an Indian is responsible for genocide.



What part of "done by the american government" led you to interpret that as "done by white people." It was done by specific people in the name of a specific nation. People are now suggesting that same nation should get the benefit of the rest of the land because "they dont use it right."

Nowhere did I say white people deserve less, nowhere did I say native americans were above criticism. The situation sucks, but it is completely lame of you, bordering on total historical ignorance, to suggest that we should blame the native americans rather than our own government (the real culprit) for this mess.



Can you show me proof of American Indian leadership refusing to participate in the racist policies of the American government?

Why should an Indian be able to open a casino while a black person gets turned down? Terrible modern racism.

What's the law that says black people can't open casinos?

Indians have a lot more opportunities all over the country due to special racist treatment.

Haven't I raised a valid point? Racism is racism, and racist monopolies are the worst kind of monopolies. What else can you call Indian American casinos and other race specific corporate endeavors but that?

Indian casino regulations aren't based off of race, but rather off of the legal sovereignty that Native American tribes have.

If you somehow had a group of African Americans who were granted their own sovereign territory, they'd avoid the same regulations for their gaming.

Alright, so if we blockaded Indian American nations with large walls and tanks, similar to how we treat Iran, would you be ok with that or would you cry racism and genocide?
