Is this America's best ignored secret?
These people live in abject poverty on their reservations, drinking themselves to death and committing suicide.
The government bends over backwards to give a leg up to black and hispanic people, but they don't do a damn thing for these people who are basically stuck in a shithole thirdworld pocket in the most desolate areas in the country.
I'm not some kind of Native American loving hippie by the way, This is definitely our country, but I think we owe some kind of assistance to these people. Not monetary, that doesn't work. They'll just drink themselves to death. We should just try and show them a way to at least make a living
Modern Native American Reservations
they arn't being forced to stay at the reservations

>Is this America's best ignored secret?
the fuck are you talking about, everyone knows about it.
When they live off the reservations, at least, they qualify for the same programs that other minorities do. The get preference points in uni and at jobs. Their big problem is staying off drugs and booze. Booze is particularly bad for them because they can't metabolize it like Europeans and Africans can. It's one of those situations that most people would like to improve but it seems like no one has any good ideas.
Everyone is constantly screeching about how we owe black people reparations and need to give them free shit, they're always talking about "poor illegal immigrants are so vulnerable and need our protection",
but no one wants to talk about these people
Its been a long time. But I lived near a Reservation in Wisconsin. Redcliff. I also drove around with my Grandfather in Wisconsin with my Grandfather and saw other Reservations. Its been a long time ago now. But - they trash what they are given. They build them new housing on Redcliff - it was nice, like modern base housing type at that time. And they trash it immediately. One old guy took the front window out, the door off and let his pony live in his front room with him. This was way before most schools has resource officers but our school had to have them manning the doors because drunken Adult Indians posed a danger to us if they decided to come into town and "settle a score" - I had my yes opened that year to reality and I have never felt that bleeding heart thing for Natives since. They are a mess, they create their own problems. They hate everyone and this includes themselves and each other - and they really hate whitey.
Who cares, worry about yourself not getting coronad.
>we owe some kind of assistance
You wouldn't believe the amount of assistance that is available to them. They
Dont want to change.
Stfu. Go pour DDT on those savages again cuck
Aussies complain about their Abbos being gas huffers and extremely low IQ. I think some of our tribes are not much different. I mean how many generations in on Fetal Alcohol syndrome do you have to be before a whole group of people is a wash?
>they don't do a damn thing
They get far more per capita gibs than other minorities. Reservations are that way because the treaties allowed them a unique degree of sovereignty that niggers and beaners don't have access to, so left unsupervised they just become third world shanty towns where anything of value has been pawned to buy swill or ice.
There have been numbers attempts to civilize and integrate them over the centuries and the same people who complain about the state of injuns today also act like sending redskin kids to boarding school is a stain on the conscience of every single white person to ever live.

What planet are you on? All the Native Americans I see get checks from casinos they have on their land and are doing pretty damn well.
They get government gibs and casino gibs and they don't have to follow laws on the reservation.
This is what every native does worldwide.
Get up, get todays food, go back to your run down shack or mudhut and get absolute cranked on moonshine and drugs until the next day.
>The government bends over backwards to give a leg up to black and hispanic people, but they don't do a damn thing for these people who are basically stuck in a shithole thirdworld pocket in the most desolate areas in the country.
You aren't wrong, but I think Indigenous people pretty much get a free trailer and free healthcare from the govt. Blacks and Hispanics have to prove poverty or just plain not work.
Literally 0 rules or laws keeping them on the reservations.
They refused to assimilate. Enjoy the poverty when the town next to them runs perfectly
Not all tribes have the opportunity to build a casino. Many are stuck in the middle of nowhere
Depends, with federally recognized tribes if the tribe can afford it they get healthcare for all tribal members. Usually everything is paid for within the tribal govt not by the U.S feds
>Is this America's best ignored secret?
George HW Bush, Bureau of Indian Affairs, UNICEF money used to forcibly sterilize half the native women in the US
>if the tribe can afford it they get healthcare for all tribal members
they tend to get a couple guys millions and the rest live off dirt
>We should just try and show them a way to at least make a living
Do you have any idea how much some of these tribes make from their casinos? Their problem is the same as ours. Corruption at the highest levels. Ever here the saying "The chief's driveway is always paved"?
They get paid for basically living, not our fault they like like fucking rodents. They're just lazy and addicted to drugs because guess what? They don't have to work. FUck native americans.
>muh assimilation
Exactly what was wrong with having a fuckton of buffalo? Why should they have wanted to assimilate? Why would any smart cunt? They weren't even that smart but they were smart enough to know it was a shit "choice"
Thank you for clarifying.
Not true the government doesn't offer anything besides grants to federally recognized tribes everything else is made from the casinos that the tribal members put their own money into with the help of investors, Also federal law is enforced on the reservations therefore state and local police have no jurisdiction unless permitted. They abide by federal law
No problem user
They get everything handed to them. And instead of doing something with the free college and shit they'd rather drink Listerine and rape their daughters. They were savages when we found them anf nothing changed
You have no clue about social mobility. You think they want to be there? Not anymore than you want your minimum wage job that you are stuck in.
natives would be better allies than blacks or mexicans
Certain tribes get paid and that's because they have a tribal business ie casinos which by the way they have to get permission to even put a casino on federal land, they pool their own money together and with the help of investors they can get the casino built, the revenue is then divided amongst tribal members and the tribal council to fulfill the need of the members such as improved housing,roads,ect. The government is rarely involved in Indian Affairs. Realistically any large group of people can do the same as long as they get permission to open a casino
At some point you just have to stop helping them (or do the bare minimum to be able to say you're "helping them", but you're letting them die off). Injuns migrate regularly off the reserve and into the larger society. But there's always ones that will stick around on the rez. This continues to happen every generation until the ones on the rez are essentially self-selected to be the least ambitious, most self-destructive, useless humans. You'll never fully be rid of them, save for a plague wiping them out. All you can hope to do is reduce their numbers and tuck them away in a dark corner. It's the same with any population of undesirables. You'll never fully "fix" the problem, because there will always be stragglers.
They are living how they want to live. They have school and healthcare right on the Rez and run businesses surrounding them.
They don't need you or me to advocate for them.
Also, firewater isn't allowed on the Rez.
Ben Franklin wrote about natives being drunks. They'd come back day after day to buy booze
>Firewater isn't allowed on the Rez
Not true depends on the tribal law
But since weed is illegal under federal law it is not permitted on any rez
Bruv, you know how fucking happy I'd be to be given land - or even just to be able to buy some and do what I want on it without bribing a thousand cunts for planning permission? I'd have a small farm on the go and would be literally living my dream. Cry me a fucking river.
>You have no clue about social mobility.
I don't know about the US, but there's so fucking much opportunity for anyone with work ethic here. Brains help, but plain work ethic will get you far enough.
Minimum wage allows you a perfectly comfy existence, but unless you lost the genetic lottery "social mobility" is not what keeps people in minimum wage jobs. It's just complacency, the working man's version of being a NEET.
Some of the smartest and most successful people I know are native Americans. Cream always rises to the top, dregs always stay at the bottom.
Short answer yes
We should start a meme that instead of giving money to Israel we should give it to indians.
>These people live in abject poverty on their reservations, drinking themselves to death and committing suicide.
certainly not worse than how they lived before Humans colonized their shithole
>But since weed is illegal under federal law it is not permitted on any rez
LOL the federal government has no say on that on the reservations which are all sovereign nations. At best the US gov't can ask pretty please, but the natives can always say no.
In summer 2019 I have traveled across America from NYC to LA, We’ve been in lots of places but the Indian reservations looked like literal hell and they basically live in a secluded state compared to the other “normal” people.
Their towns are outside major roads and their people looked very hostile and unfriendly compared to the standard respectful attitude of the average white american.
Even commercial establishments have poor tolerance for foreign people, some gas stations felt VERY different from other parts of the USA.
Fun fact: gas station owners in basically every single town in the country wanted to hear our story (from VA to UT). They were really friendly and gladly gave us really useful tips.
True many tribal members are getting wrongfully kicked out of the tribe so the chairman can collect more money and embezzlement is rampant within tribes
These faggots get so many tax breaks and incentives it's not funny.
In some areas of NM they vote to raise taxes because they have a majority voting block but arent subject to taxes.
Do you know where the reservations are? In the middle of nowhere. There is nothing there. Sioux Falls here I make a great living. But look at where our reservations are. You ever been there? You need to drive through to see the state of their living. It’s third world right smack in the middle of America.
Assistance? What about their casinos?
>everybody on the world has to live my way. Nowhere on earth can exist a different ethos.
This is you. You will keep getting into conflicts. One day you will lose.
Sad as shit to see kids in that situation.
they made their smallpox beds now they can sleep in them. and they are not forced to live there and can easily get out anybody who says otherwise is a moron.
>t live right next to blackfoot resveration
This guy gets it
J'ever think maybe they drink themselves to death *because* we give them everything and do everything for them?
>These people live in abject poverty
I thought native americans had no concept of wealth and lived as one with nature
injun here. youre right about the alchoholism problem. but i left the rez before i was a teenager, most injuns stay on the rez and collect checks. for me ive been doing small time jobs, temp work and living out of my van in the big cities.
like everyone else im scraping by, still drinkin but not quite like my forefathers lol. the rez is a dead end and im seeking bigger prospects. ama
Not all tribes are equal. My parents live on a reservation, but they have a nice house with a small farm on 140 acres that's mostly woodlands. Hunting is good out there and you have an infinite supply of fire wood and water from the large creek that flows through it. The tribe reimburses them for their electric bill every month as well. It's comfy living.
My father belongs to a federally recognized tribe that has many businesses. All tribal members have to abide by federal law, people who say it's free reign are larping to make themselves seem interesting. When it comes to tribal affairs the govt has no say. But to get a casino or an airport built you must get permission from the Federal govt. Most of the time they will say yes because they get a piece of the pie.
>Be me
>One of my best friends since high school is 100% native american
>smart one though and went to school, never did drugs or drink, real good guy
>never had a job until he was like 26
>Works for BMW making decent money
>Still had a brand new $300k home and $200k worth of german cars before that
He has made more money to this point in this life due to being an indian than I will probably make in my entire life. We don't need to do anything more for the fucking indians, I say giving them tax breaks and casinos was enough.
Wow, it's almost like hunter-gathers don't do well when they are dragged kicking and screaming into a civilized society.
They are effectively missing out on thousands of years of evolution selecting for traits that are needed to succeed like time preference and general intelligence. They are fucked on a genetic level
That was really mean of America to go and trash this guy's trailer, wasn't it? Imagine forcing him to live like this, how tragic. Every time he cleans up, America comes back around and breaks his windows and tosses his mattress out the window. It's got to stop.
What Rez you from nigga?
NO fuck them all, our land now. Gas them all, LETS FINISH THE JOB.
You can't help them.
It's the same over here, sexual/physical abuse of children is rampant in the aboroginal communities but no one is allowed to bring it up or talk about except to complain for more gibs. Honestly a straight up genocide would've been kinder to them
Government didn't give them casinos they just authorized the casino being built. All funds that went towards building the casino was done by tribal members and investors. It's the smart tribes that make it. Any large group of individuals can do the exact same thing
what tribe?
Learn to code.
good, fuck indians.
They get pretty exclusive control over casinos. There's a reason casinos aren't everywhere.
The details don't matter to me, what matters is my point: OP is a retard for thinking anybody needs to try to do anything for these people. They have plenty to help themselves.
I don't see it often, good for you that you got out of being a lazy cunt. If you're really trying to get out of a life pit, just join the military, pick a trade job, get out and be a contractor.
>mfw during trip to Brazil government is too lazy to build roads
>Indian niggers take the lead and create a shitty, but shortcut road from Mato Grosso to Rondonia
>have to pay a toll to indians who already receive free land and subsidies from the government
>they live in huts but I shit you not they drive brand new pick up trucks that only high medium class and up can afford in that country
>live in the middle of nowhere yet wear brand name clothes
>able to kill you (yes... murder you) for not paying the toll and they're able to get away with it
>I only know this because the locals have told me it's happened before
INDIANS ARE NIGGERS
INDIANS ARE NIGGERS
menominee, WI keshena
This.
The red man lived in the dirt before because that's all he's good for and basically still does. You can build a house around them but they'll just bring dirt in so that grass grows in the corners. There's no point to them.
Indians are fucking retarded if you've ever talked to them.
MoVe
You stupid cunt. It's not the social mobility meme keeping people back, it's the fact they're literal retards. As bad as niggers.
They wanted to be their own nations separate from us. Not our problem.
This is as. Concise as it gets bro.
Are you kidding me? Indians get more gibs than any other racial group in the US and it isn't even close. The government builds housing for them, and then when those houses get too run down they just build new fucking houses for them!
forgot pic maybe i'm too tipsy brothers
Why don't they start a fuckin' casino or some shit?
It's their own fault. Honestly. You know how some Indians actually worked hard and pooled money together and opened up shitty resorts? Well some natives are drunk 24/7 and that's their own personal problem.
