Its called ‘getting even’. Remember the “Trail of Tears”?
There is a much heavier tribal consciousness among many non Judeo-Christian peoples than there is in “white America” and these peoples tend to project their worldview upon “white America” as being Yet Another Nasty Tribe.
We see American Indians do it; we see legacy black peoples do it.
Peoples who have learned to subsume this factor to higher goals (such as almost all Asians, and the occasional black person who has recently immigrated here from Africa) don’t wallow in this mindset.
I’ve humorously proposed in song that all Americans see themselves as rednecks. Rednecks come in many colors... yellow, red, tan, white, and black. The attitude change is so, so different when they do. Now even if not united by skin color, they are united by life philosophy.
“Its called ‘getting even’. Remember the “Trail of Tears”?”
Actually, by opening up casinos they are showing that Indian tribes and customs are gone. There is nothing “even” for them about that. Besides, are there really any purebred native American tribes left? They’re all half-breeds or less.
But yes, the trail of tears. Technically, I believe this was the result of a disagreement among American Indian leaders about Andrew Jackson’s plan to relocate the Cherokee. Some said yes, some said no, Jackson said go to it. And figured it was up to the Indians to make it humane for each other. It was a fuster cluck that shouldn’t have been allowed to be a blight on America. But for that matter, neither should have chattel slavery, a gift that keeps on giving.
Actually it's not just the "white man" that goes to these casinos but you get my point.
