Really, old timer, nobody isn't superior to nobody. Why Crazy Horse defeated General Custer then??
Why did all the pioneers can't survive one winter during the old west?
And why all the white people afraid of the dark more than native people?
Why did mormons massacre civilians and then blame it on native americans??

And why the the first ILLEGALS can't make it on their own, when they landed on shore, instead turn to cannibalism, that jamestown or whatever, those pilgrims???

If you think that the world is superior, why you don't explain this than??

Alcoholism leads to a lot of other problems. Only Native Americans can solve the problem.
More than half the Reservation's adults battle addiction and disease. Alcoholism, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and malnutrition are pervasive.
Alcoholism affects 8 out of 10 families on the Reservation.
The death rate from alcohol-related problems on the Reservation is 300% higher than the remaining US population.
The Oglala Lakota Nation has prohibited the sale and possession of alcohol on the Pine Ridge Reservation since the early 1970's. However, the town of Whiteclay, Nebraska (which sits 400 yards off the Reservation border in a contested "buffer" zone) has approximately 14 residents and four liquor stores which sell over 4,100,000 cans of beer each year resulting in a $3,000,000 annual trade. Unlike other Nebraska communities, Whiteclay exists only to sell liquor and make money. It has no schools, no churches, no civic organizations, no parks, no benches, no public bathrooms, no fire service and no law enforcement. Tribal officials have repeatedly pleaded with the State of Nebraska to close these liquor stores or enforce the State laws regulating liquor stores but have been consistently refused.
Teenage suicide rate on the Pine Ridge Reservation is 150% higher than the U.S. national average for this age group.
The infant mortality rate is the highest on this continent and is about 300% higher than the U.S. national average.
The rate of diabetes on the Reservation is reported to be 800% higher than the U.S. national average.
Recent reports indicate that almost 50% of the adults on the Reservation over the age of 40 have diabetes.
As a result of the high rate of diabetes on the Reservation, diabetic-related blindness, amputations, and kidney failure are common.
The tuberculosis rate on the Pine Ridge Reservation is approximately 800% higher than the U.S. national average.
Cervical cancer is 500% higher than the U.S. national average.
Some figures state that the life expectancy on the Reservation is 48 years old for men and 52 for women. Other reports state that the average life expectancy on the Reservation is 45 years old. These statistics are far from the 77.5 years of age life expectancy average found in the United States as a whole.
School drop-out rate is over 70%.
Teacher turnover is 800% that of the U.S. national average

First: Proof?
Second: Indeed if so, this is proof of what Europeans turned the indigenous into. Now, they condition others to look down on us and feel justified in taking the rest of our lands and Minerals. You in no way address anything to you. You only continue with your ignorance.
You are one ignorant ass Racist SOB.

Between 1790 and 1830 the population of Georgia increased six-fold. The western push of the settlers created a problem. Georgians continued to take Native American lands and force them into the frontier. By 1825 the Lower Creek had been completely removed from the state under provisions of the Treaty of Indian Springs. By 1827 the Creek were gone.

Cherokee had long called western Georgia home. The Cherokee Nation continued in their enchanted land until 1828. It was then that the rumored gold, for which De Soto had relentlessly searched, was discovered in the North Georgia mountains.

Cherokee Rose
Symbol of the
" Trail Where They Cried"
In his book Don't Know Much About History, Kenneth C. Davis writes:

Hollywood has left the impression that the great Indian wars came in the Old West during the late 1800's, a period that many think of simplistically as the "cowboy and Indian" days. But in fact that was a "mopping up" effort. By that time the Indians were nearly finished, their subjugation complete, their numbers decimated. The killing, enslavement, and land theft had begun with the arrival of the Europeans. But it may have reached its nadir when it became federal policy under President (Andrew) Jackson.
The Cherokees in 1828 were not nomadic savages. In fact, they had assimilated many European-style customs, including the wearing of gowns by Cherokee women. They built roads, schools and churches, had a system of representational government, and were farmers and cattle ranchers. A Cherokee alphabet, the "Talking Leaves" was perfected by Sequoyah.

"I would sooner be honestly damned than hypocritically immortalized"
Davy Crockett
His political career destroyed because he supported the Cherokee, he left Washington D. C. and headed west to Texas.
In 1830 the Congress of the United States passed the "Indian Removal Act." Although many Americans were against the act, most notably Tennessee Congressman Davy Crockett, it passed anyway. President Jackson quickly signed the bill into law. The Cherokees attempted to fight removal legally by challenging the removal laws in the Supreme Court and by establishing an independent Cherokee Nation. At first the court seemed to rule against the Indians. In Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, the Court refused to hear a case extending Georgia's laws on the Cherokee because they did not represent a sovereign nation. In 1832, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Cherokee on the same issue in Worcester v. Georgia. In this case Chief Justice John Marshall ruled that the Cherokee Nation was sovereign, making the removal laws invalid. The Cherokee would have to agree to removal in a treaty. The treaty then would have to be ratified by the Senate.

By 1835 the Cherokee were divided and despondent. Most supported Principal Chief John Ross, who fought the encroachment of whites starting with the 1832 land lottery. However, a minority(less than 500 out of 17,000 Cherokee in North Georgia) followed Major Ridge, his son John, and Elias Boudinot, who advocated removal. The Treaty of New Echota, signed by Ridge and members of the Treaty Party in 1835, gave Jackson the legal document he needed to remove the First Americans. Ratification of the treaty by the United States Senate sealed the fate of the Cherokee. Among the few who spoke out against the ratification were Daniel Webster and Henry Clay, but it passed by a single vote. In 1838 the United States began the removal to Oklahoma, fulfilling a promise the government made to Georgia in 1802.

Where are you getting these figures?
Here is a few and there is a lot more studies that show the same problems. Most all studies always point back to alcohol and drug abuse.
No amount of outside help will change things until the Native American People who live on the Pine Ridge Reservation are willing to look at a root cause and make tough decisions.
If they are unwilling to make changes then why should the rest of us become enablers so the problems can continue and grow larger?
Of course if you don’t like what I say should be a great first step then suggest what will.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Many pioneers went west and survived. That is why we are here.
And why all the white people afraid of the dark more than native people?
I didn’t know that was the case.
Why did mormons massacre civilians and then blame it on native americans??
I suppose because they didn’t want to take the blame themselves. Why do native americans blame all their problems on someone other than themselves?
And why the the first ILLEGALS can't make it on their own, when they landed on shore, instead turn to cannibalism, that jamestown or whatever, those pilgrims???
I really don’t know for sure. I was not there. I suppose because they had traveled across the sea and did not have time to prepare properly for the coming winter. It seems that white people do pretty good not. Most of the time it’s some reservation wanting help in the winter. Wasn’t that the case last winter and again this winter???
If you think that the world is superior, why you don't explain this than??
BECAUSE NATIVE AMERICANS LOST AND TODAY CANNOT HARDLY SURVIVE ON THEIR OWN. WHINNING AND CRYING WANTING THE WHITE MAN TO COME AND CARE FOR THEM.
Remember who is setting on the reservation and who is not. That alone says who come out on top.

The interesting part is what the hell does all that stuff have to do with the present day problems on the Pine Ridge Reservation?

What does it have to do with trying to solve those problems and make the people living on the reservation have a better life?

You two idiots want to find something to feel good about or superior about. Sad to say reality doesn't show much in your favor.

If you want to feel good about something then deal with the known problems of your people rather than making excuses.

What's next you want to argue about? The price of black tea in China?

Well lets just talk about the known problems of the Pine Ridge Reservation and what can be done to make life better for the people who live on the reservation.

I have said many times thats all I wish to argue about.

Yes, this is the interesting part indeed. You and your mindset of Euros created the current situation, and as always, then want to put the blame on the victims. No one wants to discuss NA Issues with a bigoted, ignorant ass Supremacist Jerk like you, Freddy Beth. What a loser WHite POS you are. Why would we want more of your genocidal solutions??. We have heard your lies for Centuries.
If it is so hard on you to live in Indian COuntry, get your wicked little ass elsewhere. Cowardly clown like you should have no problem at all finding others of like mindset. It has already been established your agenda is for the Black Hills. Go F yourself Freddy Beth Krueger. No one is stupid enough here to take you seriously. All you do is rant about Indians in your Imperialistic greed. Just can't exterminate us fast enough, eh? Your tin hat of capitalism just doesn't fit all. Just like your false Superiority COmplex won't work forever either. You are a conditioned maggot off the Indigenous. No gratefulness, just condemnation of a world you have zero insight into.

Freddy Beth is typical of the Hollywood mindset. That the genocides of the Indians was more like the shoot em off their horse westerns. Without mention of how many children, infants and women were simply slaughtered and ambushed, massacred.
They act like they won. Then deny responsibility in at, while defending the genocides of what they can label Primitive. Primitive were the ignorant whites for Centuries before they could bring in the cannons and slaughter by the thousands all that stood in the way of their greed.
They created death, starvation, moving Indians across the land in winter without food or clothing or shelter. The Euros created the Welfare of the Indigenous by taking all, ALL away, killing their food source, burning their fruit trees. Killing their children. Into this current century genocides of the indigenous under many guises.
Then, like Freddy Krueger, blame the victims for their own demise at their hands. It wasn't warfare, it was Genocides. Lies, Treaties made they never intended on keeping. And as Freddy so clearly shows, they then de-humanize their victims. Pretending he/she/it is looking for solutions. This INdian is not that naive. Freddy Beth, the confused gendered one, Condescending Capitalist, that thinks itself Superior. In the Future, we will see. The whites have created their own demise, and as much as I love America, it is humorous to watch them now as they grasp at straws to defend the murders of the Original Americans and the situations they created in their greed for their land. Freddy acts like it was a little war, when it was centuries of Whites killing Us. Then the flood of whites and weapons. Hardly a war. And what gave the white ones like Freddy the right? Only the greed in their own mind. Even the Bible condemns their actions. No matter how they try and twist it in their favor. God is not a white man as they so like to believe. The Creator is a spirit. A spirit one like Freddy Beth will never know. But one day can explain it's Superiority complex to. That should be a hoot. Telling The Creator why you are better than the rest of Creation. And why it was alright to massacre innocents to better your cause for "your" whites.
That will indeed be an interesting watch.

True, if YOU say something that IS intelligent that ever is worth talking to, than I might respond, but since you live off your fantasies about indians here and there, than you are pretty much stupid to talk, since you ARE pretty stupid, so yeah.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Taurus

Get involved in financial transactions at your peril under today's Lunar Eclipse, because certain people will use them as a stick to beat you with. For instance, if you ask someone to lend you money they'll either make you feel guilty about it or dredge up all sorts of past instances when their trust was betrayed. You would also be well advised to avoid any show of possessiveness or jealousy, even if you feel it, unless you truly don't care about the disastrous outcome.
