The blame can be put on many. Not just "white" people. The BIA was and is just one of many corrupt unneeded things, yet there it is. And it wouldn't have much umph if there was no help coming from INSIDE the rez itself with the elders who line their own pockets in some form or another.Are you NA? No. Am I NA? No. Is my husband NA? Yes. BIA was put in to place by people who were or became corrupt, and they had help from corrupt NA's. Read up on Pine Ridge in what is happening today....this year...in 2017. The tribal police force are mostly on the take, therefore there isn't much help for safety. The tribal council voted to LIFT the ban of alcohol sales in Pine Ridge....and that did not come from white people. That vote came from tribal elders who want the $$$ it brings in, which there is little of.
Your quest to lay blame on "white people" is as corrupt as the people...white AND brown...who are helping destroy the rez. Not just whites.
I lay the blame where it needs to go. There was never a need for the BIA. There was never a need for the Pine Ridge Reservation.
You don't get that.
And yes I do have Cherokee ancestry. One of my grandmothers was 1/2 Cherokee thank you.
You need to get off the blame game and either do something about it yourself instead of ranting on a message board, or find some kind of release to let the hate go that heads nowhere.
Put together a package before this winter. Coats, wood, thermals, blankets, propane, food, socks, shoes, monetary donations for the schools and the children, the elders freezing to death in the horrid winters. Have you done that? I have. Quite a few times. Me, who has nothing anymore, still finds time to shop at thrift stores and pick up something useful I can send to their donation center. In pine ridge, there are no casinos. They are there, waiting to die while trying to survive. Stuck on a spit of land that belonged to them in the first place. Point is, they keep trying. All you are doing is sitting in front of your monitor complaining about your own woes instead of DOING SOMETHING.
I don't need to do anything but what I am doing now in my hometown working to stop police from harassing people of color. The fact is that whites own this. These guys should not be living on a reservation waiting for me to make them care packages because the white man moved them to reservations. Means said some things you don't seem to get like when he said that the American Indian can be an Indian anywhere but I the US. Whites all over this world, including some right here are whining about some fake genocide because they believe they are losing their identity and yet that is what whites did to the NA's. That's what they do now to them. But you can't understand how that leads to all those negative statistics you cited. You cant see how it creates corruption from within because of the competition to get that extra buck in order to live a little better.
There ain't no hate here lady. There is speaking truth. You don't know what I have done and yet your ass assumes that all I have eve r bone is complain and that's because you listen to dumb ass white race baiters ell you that. I couldn't have worked 12 hours per day for most of 32 years in the black community to fight the things happening there. Oh no, I was just sitting on my ass complaining about what ****** owes me, Fuck you. Stop repeating that stupid white racist bull shit to people. Its way off and you look stupid as hell when you say shit like that. Whites are going to get blamed for what they have done. Too bad, whites should not have done it, and whites not should have allowed it to keep going. So work to end that instead of posting up excuses for white racism because it's not a thing of the past.
