this is all besides the point and you kinda wander but I'll address it

what you refer to as bitching I believe is obligation to my people not just those with my blood and the culture I still hold close but all of those crushed by early development in extreme poverty as most do not ever get out in THIS country

we talk about this tweet and that post and everyone bickers about the polarization and outrage of the day but in THIS country there is still Hell for children, and Hell has a recent history and it's uncomfortable to a lot of people

it's no longer a blame game it's an understanding requirement and a large percentage of the population still doesn't get it but over time when people speak out the stigmas and ignorance does begin to slowly fade

which ties us right back into our main topic coincidentally, abuse by those in power and public outrage over those that use their platform to address is

You say I'm already dead for not moving on ironically I'm the only adult male in my family that hasn't died from addiction/violence or in a jail cell because I have been fortunate enough to move on which is kind of the point

Were you born in the United States? There ya go. You're not an Indian you're an American, of Indian decent.

/e I guess my grandparents could have made a German reservation in the US and wallowed in their losses. I'm glad you got out, "moved on". Just keep moving on, embrace the USA, then your kids will have it a whole lot easier.

the question becomes how a brain damaged unlearned indian boy like me understands what the flag represents better than someone that fought for it?

Congratulations on reaching a whole new level, think i am just going to ignore your posts.

Freedom w/o laws is anarchy. No one, anywhere is really free. We all just do the best we can with the laws we have.
We can spend our lives railing against them or try to go with the flow.

I'm constantly amazed that minorities (for lack of a better term), can't get past the fact that they aren't really minorities. They are Americans.

There is no such thing as African Americans, Indian Americans etc... There is just Americans.
No one can change the laws in the US unless they first embrace those laws and work the change they want, within those laws. The days of revolutions in the US are long gone.

You can spend your life trying to fight city hall, or you can join city hall and work for the changes you want to see that way. You won't see them in your lifetime, this country is too big for that.
The best you can do is work for your children or grandchildren.

And what was rosa parks doing?

Are you implying that anyone rambling away in PaRD is doing what Arnold or Rosa managed to do?
