15. Sad but true

The American Indian knows that every thing the white man does is a lie. All they really want is their sovereign right to exist as equal peoples. The American Indian is to this day a prisoner of war. They do not enjoy the same rights that Americans are guaranteed. They do not have any rights. They are sovereign nations and deserve equal rights. They are also the victims of deadly racism and hate crimes. To this day, they are portrayed unfairly and deionized, denounced as lazy etc by the fascist bureaucracy that lives fat on the myths and the racism.
The Navaho understand that they will never see this money. This is a moral victory. This is a lame duck gesture. Obama is the man.
