Oh how nice of the Federal Government to march all those Indians into Reservation areas so they can live happily ever after, right?
Well, American Indians have the highest rate of unemployment, one of the highest rates of alcoholism, poverty and are one of the least medically uninsured group of people in America.
Only recently have they been able to make inroads into their own self-sufficiency, and that is not true of every tribe that exists. American Indians have been treated like they are a parasite or are an anethema to American beliefs, yet it is the American politicians that have put them in their current position and causes them to stay in it. The American Indian is not allowed the same benefits as are the rest of Americans simply because they are the property of the Federal Government.
Fast forward to the 21st century and you can see how similar the politicians treat the black people of this nation. The main difference is that the black people do not have to stay on a reservation in some of the remotest land of this nation and try to eke out a living. No, instead, the black people are held in such low esteem, politicians think it is necessary to keep them on welfare, food stamps, limited education, and in government housing. Oh sure, you can make a case for their being exceptions, but the idea here is that the Federal government has suppressed both of these groups of Americans, keeping them out of the "normal" aspects of our societies, and passing legislation that on the surface sounds good FOR them, but in reality, maintains their dependence upon government. Neither group has the same opportunities the rest of us have to jobs, promotions, housing, neighborhoods, respectful living, and especially self esteem. The Federal Government makes those arrangements through legislation designed just for those groups; lately, only for the black group of people.
All of the legislation made "for the black group of people" only strangles them further, and keeps them separate from the rest of the groups. Even immigrant Chinese or Irish or Vietnamese have better access to the full notion of the American Dream, while American Indians and the black people are still struggling, just to be recognized as American citizens. The Federal Government does all it can to divide this nation and keep it divided in order for politicians to get in and stay in power. Notice, none of them, black, white, or any other color, are as bad off as the rest of us. In fact, most politicians become very wealthy after getting into office, all the while passing laws that continue to keep us divided and suppressed.
The American Indian is finally getting some of their people educated enough to bring back to their tribes, business options, employment and better individual housing. More, much more has to be done, but they are trying to rise above it all. I am afraid, the black group of people still heavily rely on the Federal Government. Many blacks have made great inroads in their own personal lives, but don't seem to be affective in helping the rest to make enormous breakthroughs.
Immigration once meant assimilation; today, because of politicians, we are a much more divided nation than ever before. After getting rid of Ellis Island, that place where immigrants were allowed to enter into this country, after first proving they were healthy and had a sponsor, so we could control the numbers that were coming here and be certain they didn't bring disease with them, politicians began to label this nation as multi-cultural. America may be a melting pot, but it was never multi-cultural; we were and should still be "one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all". POLITICIANS are the guilty ones who keep us fighting against each other, with laws meant to do just that.
People, it is time we stop all the bickering about black, white, red, or yellow. As a nation, we need to protect OUR borders, and make certain miscreants do not enter to do us all harm. We need to quickly unite as Americans and take this country back from the politicians who legislate us into cultures or groups, as if we are supposed to be treated differently than the next guy. Sure, we have different backgrounds, but we are all Americans and need to stop the in-fighting the politicians legislate into or society.
It's Christmas, and no matter your religion, it is a good time to gather together and take the first step to unite us all as Americans (no color label before or after) we are Americans period, end of story!!
