If this said--black news, white news or chinese news, someone would yell racism, but since its Indians, its o.k.
And its also ok, for my federal dollars to provide Indians free healthcare,even though I cannot afford health insurance for my family.

Essentially in Oklahoma, we've created two classes of citizenship — with the tribes and everyone else," he said. Rep. David Dank R-OKC

Ya know Tony, every story that is printed about a Native American tribe, whether it's something cultural or casino related, or anything in between, you somehow find a way to criticize. That, my friend, is what is actually racism. And Tulsandn, you are not far behind Tony. You two disgust me.

Tony,

I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you, but the DEFINITION of Oklahoma is 'red people'. The US Government and Constitution is what gives these inalienable rights to Native Americans. Oklahoma was by the way promised to the Five Civilized Tribes until the waters no longer ran. Last I checked, there is still water running in the State of Oklahoma. It was our land, stolen from us, and half of the promises STILL aren't rightfully being fulfilled. Seriously, if we were talking about Holocaust victims (and this IS the same thing) people would more readily call you out for what you are.
