Were reservations good, or were they bad?
I hear they were very bad.
But we need to have them, right?
So they’re good.
Protected lands for certain Americans who have special rights and permissions?
Could there be such places for blacks? Or maybe the oppressed LGBT community?
That way, oppressed people could go from their special places with their special rights right to their Ivy League schools or Executive Boardrooms or Top Brass jobs in the military or wherever else these unfortunate people are needed.

SOURCE:

https://www.bia.gov/frequently-asked-questions#:~:text=Approximately%2056.2%20million%20acres%20are,%2C%20communities%2C%20etc.).

Approximately 56.2 million acres are held in trust by the United States for various Indian tribes and individuals. There are approximately 326 Indian land areas in the U.S. administered as federal Indian reservations (i.e., reservations, pueblos, rancherias, missions, villages, communities, etc.).

That’s an area GREATER than the size of North Korea (29 million acres) and South Korea ( 24 million acres ) combined.

To put it in perspective, both Koreas combined, have about 77 million people.

In contrast, there are just about 10 million Native Americans in the USA. See here:

That’s more land available per Native American than most countries in the world !!

Yup—at the end of the day the .gov decides who is “special” and who is not and then claims it is “equity”.

Lol.
