REPARATIONS HEARINGS! FREE STUFF?

[UnionStrong]

May as well give up @UnionStrong his superior research and intellect have won over. Sorry

I won’t ever agree with everything he says, but like Reagan said, if I can agree with 80% that’s good enough. He’s opinionated, so am I.

Those with casinos skewed the stats.

I did say that conditions are bad on some.

 

[UnionStrong]

You were saying poverty was huge on reservations. Terrible conditions. Not what I saw. No one is going to mistake an average reservation for a typical middle class suburb. But it's mostly solid working class on the ones I saw.

How many reservations have you surveyed?

Goodness gracious, you’ve been to reservations too and evaluating them? freaking amazing… there’s literally nowhere you haven’t been and nothing you don’t know it’s flabbergasting.

Never said huge. I merely showed a report that said it was higher than other minorities.

I’ve been to a couple, and my uncle actually lives on one even though he’s not an Indian they allow him to live there and judging where he lives and his home it sure as hell is not any place I would want to live, but I’m certainly not every single one of them is like that. It was in New Mexico.

How many reservations have you surveyed?

As I said, I've been to about a dozen, but have read extensively about conditions and have seen plenty of pictures. It's not the way y'all are saying and can only conclude you're basing that on past conditions and aren't aware of the improvements.

 

[vantexan]

Most reservations are not very good. Lots of drunks and drug addicts, high unemployment.

I may have mistook your meaning here.

I live in Az, plenty of reservations here. I’m sure I wouldn’t want to live on one.

That’s a possibility. I admit I’ve never been to one. I would like to visit the Apace reservation here, they have cultural museum I’d like to see. I have always felt the American Indian got screwed.

You're right. Instead of investigating things, researching, I'm going to emulate those who've made better choices than me. BS, here I come.

Alcohol and drug abuse rates are very high in the Native American population.

Yeah, and my uncle fits right in LOL, he was supposed to help with groundskeeping as the reason for him being allowed to stay there my guess is he’s mostly drinking. L O L.

Flagstaff is 25% or thereabouts Native American for those who think they don't assimilate. Gallup is about 50% if I remember right.

I’m not certain what assimilate actually means, but I’m fairly certain I don’t get a reparations check

Is that the issue? Government assistance?

There are 22 federally recognized tribes in AZ, and they control 25% of the land here. Some Indian children go to public schools off the reservation.

If anyone is entitled to government assistance, they are. Just my opinion.
