You can still hate rednecks and gun toters though
When provided cash to finance a gathering of the"minds", progliblefty weenies always show up to help stir resentment amongst the otherwise downtrodden.
Indians are no more "special" or "gifted" than any other bunch of folks, but because they were acceded as wards of the goobermint on Tribal lands (that Goobermint decided to give the proud, sovereign nations), progliblefties think that they are the original oppressed people.
Of the 27 disparate bands, tribes, offshoots & sects of Indians in nM; only the Laguna have pulled themselves out of the usual abject poverty and dismal living conditions by contracting their well-educated and motivated skills to Goobermint, and fulfilled a multi-million dollar contract for communication trailers for the Army.
Literally across the freeway are the Acoma band of Laguna Indians, who have relished the largesse of Goobermint, yet have exactly ZERO to show for it. They can't agree long enough to get a casino to support their lazy, aging population; seems a lack of motivation is key.
Now, some Indian activists (think: Russell Means, Leonard Peltier, AIM, etc.) have raised a stink about some supposed slight by the Cleveland Indians' caricature mascot, and threatened not to pay to go watch baseball.
Corporate weenies always bend to the whims of change, and instead of the globally-recognized Chief Wahoo or whoever; they have bent over and showed their * to anyone still supporting baseball.
Prolly why I quit watching after that strike for higher wages in the 80s.
I suppose if they did they'd try to shut it down because gambling's bad. Keeping the natives down in third world condition's okay. But having a "mascot" is insensitive.
Imagine writing this today[;)]
The proud spirit of the original owners of these vast prairies inherited through centuries of fierce and bloody wars for their possession, lingered last in the bosom of Sitting Bull. With his fall the nobility of the Redskin is extinguished, and what few are left are a pack of whining curs who lick the hand that smites them. The Whites, by law of conquest, by justice of civilization, are masters of the American continent, and the best safety of the frontier settlements will be secured by the total annihilation of the few remaining Indians. Why not annihilation? Their glory has fled, their spirit broken, their manhood effaced; better that they die than live the miserable wretches that they are.
Today people would call this guy a raycist but they are wrong these are the words of a real man IMO.

Jollywood refers to the American Indian as savages, redskins, hostiles, etc.
The celebrated author L. Frank Baum of "The Wizard of Oz" advocated the extermination of the American Indian.

The 2018 budget for the Bureau of Indian Affairs is $2.5 billion.

Russel Means is dead.

Leonard Peltier is in the pen serving two life sentences.

One of the biggest mistakes the U.S. Government ever made was making the American Indian a "ward of the government."
Baum would have fit right in with Lincoln and his abolitionist or the Commiewood Communists either one. Bank on it.
Yep, a very poor excuse to post ugly racist claptrap.
The best definition of a real man is one who does what God tells him to do.
You do know, they had different Gods than you?

You do know, so do a fair amount here, too.
Each man is responsible for living up to the light he is given.
You have done well then the 5 watt energy saver that God passed to you is glowing like a firefly.
