Native Americans get $200K at 18 after graduating high school

You really think we got a worse deal than native americans breh? Genocide is not as bad as slavery... in almost every metric native americans have it worse than us... higher rates of poverty, crime, alcoholism, etc.

I remember watching a gangland episode on an Native American gang and they showed that many of those reservations suffer the same afflictions as urban inner cities. I empathized because it seems so damn similar to what we go though.

my girl volunteered as a doctor at a reservation in arizona for a few months... shyt felt like a slum in a 3rd world country because they just had wild dogs roaming around the streets and just trash everywhere... craziest thing is that they all had broken down new cars in the driveway (30-50k brand new) ... something about giving a man a fish vs teaching him how to fish

In my opinion, world-wide the people most broken down by colonization are some of the North American tribes and Australian Aborigines. They just lost all hope.

Settler colonialism is a motherfukker if there ever was one.

Well makes sense.. they lost their land, culture, and were pretty much pushed to damn near extinction

Micah 2
1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

all that money comes from their casino profits anyway, it's not from the government

Why do they have casino profits?

How come Asian Americans don't have them?

Or African Americans?

Or Hispanic Americans?

It is due to the treaty relationship. Although Native nations suffer from settler colonialism and a very reduced and compromised sovereignty, their status in relation to the federal government is sometimes a bit above that of a state. Casinos are one example where this is the case.
