I like how the sins of a few somehow add up to the sins of thousands. Like, even if we give a grand estimate of 10% of people on welfare "do this" sort of thing shown on this video, that is still such a minute miniscule amount of individuals that it cannot outweigh the benefit of welfare is to other individuals.

I am half tempted to just have my dad cross the border with it.

Massachusetts is strict. You also have to be 21, while in Georgia for example you have to be 18 and just buy it.

What sucks more is that pepperspray products can't even be mailed to the state, so say if I ordered from Amazon or Ebay, I'd never get the package.

The skin issue is a lot similar to the same one in the Black community; many times lighter is more preferred by east coast tribals peoples because we were conquered a lot quicker than say Western and deep southern tribes.

Sadly, I think a lot of bullshittery over treaties and the fact that the US government is threatening tribes to cut down their rolls is another confounding issue. Tribes are not sovereign; that is a lie told by the government. We actually have to follow what they say. Because the government is racist, subsequently the people put in power in tribal things are put on there BY THE GOVERNMENT and will abide by what they say, not what the tribe is.

I am in no way defending these actions, just simply clarifying that those currently in Tribal power are not ones voted by the population it represents.

In defense, their homelands were in Georgia and were probably told their lands would be sold unless going to war. Similarly threatened for black slaves to fight in the war.

That is pretty much akin to white people saying "I don't think about race, because I am white". And thus, not the "other".

As someone who speaks from indigenous mindset and methodology, we also have adapted much of our language due to our recognition of gender variances.

It is wtf-worthy! My mom even told them, clearly the school is aware we're portuguese since I got sent home with the special written-in-portuguese notices about school stuff (like waivers, field trip notes, etc).

I think the point was, there are black transwomen as well. Who never had a womb to begin with.

Sugabelly, this woman claims all Native Americans are dead and Moors don't even exist. She is going to stick with her claim of "I know more about you than you do" regardless.
