bury my heart at wounded knee book
I am actually part Cherokee and have visited a few reservations in different states. I know this won't go over very well here, but I am going to speak my mind. I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who can't put their boots on every morning and go to work and pay their taxes like the rest of us. I admit that we did take their land and relocate them, but what is done is done. I compare this to slavery and I am getting sick of hearing about this ****. I never killed an indian or owned a slave. No simpathy from me.
I have seen many reservation houses with every window broken out and the heater running full blast, because someone it too lazy to fix the windows or doesn't care because they don't pay the electric bill or pay for the house. It is a cycle just like other societies in this country. These people get a roof over their heads and a check once a month from uncle sam and you and I pay the bill. Waaaaa. Rant over.
