Bury my conscience (and consciousness) at Wounded Knee


John Stossel: Why is there a Bureau of Indian Affairs?" he said. "There is no Bureau of Puerto Rican Affairs or Black Affairs or Irish Affairs. And no group in America has been more helped by the government than the American Indians, because we have the treaties, we stole their land. But 200 years later, no group does worse."

well other than the whole sale theft of property and a near genocide between 1600-1950 the Native Americans are living on easy street.

Yeah them Injuns have been living off the government teet for too long...... We should take them down a peg or two. Where is the Bureau of rich white guy's affairs?

I'm betting that when Stossel was growing up, his idol was Heinrich Himmler.

Yeah, Indians are so well cared for that their life expectancy is 4 years less than whites and their infant mortality rate is double. They earn on average 60% of what whites do and have unemployment rates of 40-60% on their reservations, which mostly have no commercial or industrial infrastructure. The future is so bright that suicide is the leading cause of death among 10-18 year olds (at far higher rates than any other group).

This is just plain stupid. How can a functioning adult hold this view?

how can functioning adults allow such views to be so brazenly expressed? When did Slander and defamation become accepted as free speech?

Buddy should open his eyes.
There are definitely some other racist organizations that get various forms of favoritism while people ignore their blatant bigotry. For instance, there's the NAACP. Can't you just imagine the volume of (rightful) denunciation by mainstream media if there was actually an organization called the National Association for Advancement of White People? And rightfully so.....if such an organization actually existed.

The National Association for Advancement of White People is known as the Republican Party. It has a non-political arm known as the National Chamber of Commerce

I forgot about Cock Industries.

or is that Koch?

I'm confused. They keep me blindfolded in the dungeon.

Guess that means 'color-blind.'

You can always count on OnA to go context (and content) free once again. So the NCAAP is now a bureau in the federal government? And what year was the NCAAP founded? 1909, asshole.

Who are their federal government donors?

$25,000-$49,999
United States Department of the Army
United States Department of Defense
United States Department of the Navy

So yes - they get a whooping $75 to $150k from the pentagon, which the pentagon turns around and uses their show of support as a means to recruit people of color. Synergy an asshole like you should appreciate.

What a mendacious fuck-wad you are.
