Get rid of the government “help”.
Yes, it seems as if they’ve been helped to death, “literally.”
“Get rid of the government “help”.”
That’s step one.
Step two is ending the rein of tribal ruling families who take all the government gives, throwing sops to the ordinary tribal Indians who are just used - their ‘plight’ is the ruling families meal ticket. Its the system.
However, most American Indians do not live on the reservations for the above reasons and more.
Blacks have the black ghettos in the cities.
Browns have their barrios.
Indians have their reservations.
All three groups are harmed more than helped by being cloistered and somewhat separated from the general population.
The only thing that could help the Indians is to end the reservation concept and bring them out into mainstream America.
But that's never going to happen.
I read a bunch of responses below on this thread. This very first response is the best. “Get rid of the government help.”
There are all kinds of Indians and each tribe’s situation is unique. We can work it out ourselves with conservative solutions that actually work. Many of the reservations are indeed dysfunctional. But, many reservations are great assets for their people, both economically and culturally. Most tribes don’t even have a substantial reservation to call home, but still function for their people.
This article is a perfect reflection of the white liberal’s world view.
