So much like Native Americans themselves....Are you trolling me lol? The first four links you posted didn’t work. Nice job there. You really are super smart.

There was just a story about presumptive members of Trumps Cabinet being threatened so lo and behold hey Dems are being threatened!Hmm these sure were convenient.
I will say Fauci was a villain. Anthony Fauci is absolutely "a villain" AFAIIC. An example must be made, accountability to We, the People must be demonstrated.Could you be a little more pithy from now on? Comic relief doesn't work as well so long winded.
He didn't say Fauci was a villian, he said he was an incompetent fool.
The fraud case in which all the alleged injured parties said they were paid in full and on time...yeah quite the smoking gun. The case brought by a DA who campaigned not on seeking truth but merely getting Trump in a district with a deep blue jury pool and which will be DOA upon appeal....you got him this time.
Every president (and many who were not) have taken documents. The president has every right to them just like his predecessors. When are those cases being brought? Hell Hillary destroyed evidence under subpoena and she still walks free.
Georgia is a crap show with a DA who brought the case, again, specifically to fulfill a campaign promise to "get Trump" and in the process has done more damage to her own integrity than anything to Trump. Check yourself before you wreck yourself has never been more apripo.
You claim there was an insurrection and then accuse others of living in alternative reality. There was no insurrection, no one is attempting to overthrow the most powerful government in the world without firearms...least of all people on the right who believe the 2nd Amendment exists as protection against a tyrannical government.
Just another of the people the cult has to blame so their god doesn’t take any of the blame … typical idol worship!I will say Fauci was a villain. Anthony Fauci is absolutely "a villain" AFAIIC. An example must be made, accountability to We, the People must be demonstrated.
He tailored his supposedly "based in the science" Covid guidance to the goals and desires of Randi Weingarten, at the behest/command of Joe Biden and the Democrat party. He flipped 180 and boldly lied. He lied about the origin of the SARS-CoV-19 virus and his own personal actions in his federal job. To the public, and then to the US Congress, under oath.
That's a political apparatchik, full stop. He needs to be fully exposed. He needs to be ABSOLUTELY AND COMPLETELY degraded in a professional sense. He must be publicly made to be ashamed of his own conduct in office. A professional crucifixion, exactly as he did to those that wanted to out the truth An example must be made of the SHAMELESS liar Anthony Fauci. There is no stolen 2020 election without the partisan-driven conduct of Anthony Fauci. F--- Fauci.
Good morning, zero. Glad to see that you remain the reliable fool you've always been.Just another of the people the cult has to blame so their god doesn’t take any of the blame … typical idol worship!
You so in the cult you defend anything he does.You don't know your azs from your elbow, brian.
This is actually something I have taught to graduate students. Here are some links to sources for you from a recent presentation. I'm sure you won't look at them, because why would you challenge yourself to think outside of your comfortable box, but here they are anyways.
Here are just a few resources that provide evidence and further information regarding the challenges faced by Native Americans, particularly in the context of discrimination, poverty, and education:
These resources offer a comprehensive overview of the systemic factors affecting Native Americans and provide context for understanding the challenges they face in escaping poverty and discrimination.

Again, I know whole heartedly you won't even begin to entertain this notion of truth. It's truly a shame when you put something right in front of someone that is so obviously true, they still refuse to see it. While individual success stories are indeed inspiring, (I myself know a few and consider them close, personal friends) they exist within a broader context of structural challenges. Acknowledging these barriers is not about discrediting the achievements of successful Native Americans but rather highlighting the critical need for systemic change to support all Native individuals (and all people in general) in breaking the cycles of poverty and discrimination. Fostering educational opportunities, addressing healthcare disparities, and dismantling the stereotypes and bias that persist in society are vital steps toward creating a more equitable future.
That's absolutely false, and you're still as dumb as a box of rocks for trying to market that nonsense, brian.You so in the cult you defend anything he does.
You voted for Kamala. Sit down and be quiet.Just another of the people the cult has to blame so their god doesn’t take any of the blame … typical idol worship!
I'm curious, how did you learn to read and write? How did you learn to do math? Was that skill set paid for? You take for granted the things that you were given because they seem so naturally your right to have that you don't even realize they were given.Suck it up, buttercup. No one ever gave me anything. There is no guarantee that we all start life in optimum conditions, nor should there be. There is no utopia until Jesus Christ returns. Everybody has a different idea of what should be. Right now citizens of the US have the right to pursue anything here that they can afford to purchase. Get busy.
Yes, I look foolish for not checking the links on a presentation I gave 4 or so years ago as the sources I used have been archived. I probably looked foolish cashing the check I got for giving the lecture as well. I probably should have taken the time to revisit it and edit it for this esteemed panel of yappi experts before I posted it, but I didn't. Foolish me.I agree Native Americans have been grossly discriminated against by our nation. IMO it is worse than the slavery indiscretions. We began rectifying the slavery issue after the Civil War but our nation has never really tried to rectify what we did to the Native Americans. But posting inoperable links makes you look pretty foolish and just a troll.
Cool deflection. Don’t pretend that you were actually responding to my post, though. I clearly made reference to material blessings.I'm curious, how did you learn to read and write?

Quite the opposite. If you believe strongly about something that is wrong, you should stand up. Kind of like all the Trumpsters waiving their Trumpian flags in their yards for the last 8 years.You voted for Kamala. Sit down and be quiet.
I responded by asking a question. Did you pay for those things? You said you weren't given anything, buttercup.Cool deflection. Don’t pretend that you were actually responding to my post, though. I clearly made reference to material blessings.
Your question is an irrelevant deflection. I am therefore declining to indulge it. I was also given “everything” with life itself, where equity begins and ends. Move the goalposts with someone else.I responded by asking a question. Did you pay for those things? You said you weren't given anything, buttercup.
You're not answering because you know the answer. In it's simplest form, the marginalized populations I was speaking about, while given the right to have access to those things, don't actually have access to them. So sure, they have the right to purse any dream they want. However, you were GIVEN tools that they were not, buttercup.Your question is an irrelevant deflection. I am therefore declining to indulge it. I was also given “everything” with life itself, where equity begins and ends. Move the goalposts with someone else.
I should also note that I was given those tools as well and I am thankful for them. I'm not blaming you or anyone else for using those tools and working hard to get where they are in life. However, it is foolish to ignore the fact that many people, and people in this country, are not given those same tools. So to suggest they have the same rights to do whatever it is we were able to do is not really a fair assertion as they were not given the same tools to work with.Your question is an irrelevant deflection.

The greatest gifts I was given were my intellect, from God, and the time my parents spent reading to me as a baby and toddler. Then my parents bought that which God or my own efforts could not provide. My education was transactional, not parasitic. Those that envy blessing upon blessing and demand some sort of equity in line with soft Marxist dogma are simply losers in thrall for the manipulation of others, or the manipulators.You're not answering because you know the answer.

And as with the Native cultures. We completely destroyed their way of life, all the way down to the simplest idea of family structure. When you go in and take a kid at 5 or 6 years old and ship them to a boarding school where they are literally institutionalized and not raised, then send them home to start a family, how do you think they'll fare? Ask yourself, where did you learn to parent? The answer is your parents, almost exclusively. So when you were never parented, how do you parent? Run that cycle for 150 years on a population and tell me about how they have all the same rights as you and should just work harder or get themselves out of the situation...
I'll be out that way next summer. I invite you to join me and spread your wisdom. But seriously, I invite you to go along and witness it for yourself. If you're serious about helping, I will find a way to fund your trip. Shoot me a PM if interested. I'd love for you to have the opportunity to help and gain some first hand experience.The greatest gifts I was given were my intellect, from God, and the time my parents spent reading to me as a baby and toddler.

When the state gives my tax remittances to the education - or other care and feeding, for that matter - of these so-called "marginalized populations", they give at a far higher rate than to my own community. We all have equal opportunity.
I've made the most of mine. No one gave me anything but my life , in a material sense. I hope you're satisfied with my clarification in indulgence of your persistent deflection, now that we've come full circle.
Like I said, if one is discontent, get busy. No one is holding anyone in America back but themselves or their ideology.
Laugh all you want. Call me on my bluff, I head out that way in June and again in August. Shoot me a PM and I'll arrange a way to go over the details and develop an action plan for you. There are many volunteer opportunities and it will totally change your life perspective. You will leave feeling fulfilled by doing something good for the world as well as thankful for the gifts you were GIVEN that allow you to live the life you do.@cabezadecaballo

Sure. Feel free to ignore any of my comments that you feel are tangential.Also, if you go back and read my posts, most of them were about Native issues as an example. Maybe you're attempt at a deflection of what I was talking about paired with me turning the conversation back to that was interpreted by you as a deflection.
So me redirecting a conversation back to the original topic, which you replied to, from your attempt to deflect is a deflection in itself. Does that sound right?
Alight, I'll be your Huckleberry... but I was told I was typing too much to respond to people, so I guess I'm d@mned if I do or d@mned if I don't.Sure. Feel free to ignore any of my comments that you feel are tangential.
As you expound and pontificate through your excuse list, and flex your virtue as needed, I’ll comment where I see fit. Enjoy your worthy hobby.
If the will of the people is to elect a man that want's to overthrow democracy, so be it. As the quote goes, "Popular suffrage is in itself no guarantee of freedom. People can vote themselves into slavery."Still confused how President Bad touch can carry out a peaceful tranfer of power to such a threat to "democracy "
Guess it's a good thing we don't live in a democracy then.If the will of the people is to elect a man that want's to overthrow democracy, so be it. As the quote goes, "Popular suffrage is in itself no guarantee of freedom. People can vote themselves into slavery."
Are you sure? The TV and anyone running for federal office told us we are a democracy. They wouldn't lie to The People.... would they?Guess it's a good thing we don't live in a democracy then.
Blah blah blah. You lost me somewhere in the middle of the second paragraph. Tough yit. Life is hard. Mine was, some are harder still. Be thankful that you have a life and get busy making it better if you find yours somehow lacking. The bigger excuse list you can create in modern America, the more free crap is available for you to have a hand up. Nobody needs any diamond mines, but I’m sure they come in handy if you’re so blessed. Few are. Don’t care.Alight, I'll be your Huckleberry... but I was told I was typing too much to respond to people, so I guess I'm d@mned if I do or d@mned if I don't.
I do appreciate your perspective on personal responsibility and the importance of making the most of opportunities, it's a sentiment that I, along with a majority of people share. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that not everyone starts at the same starting line,(I believe you probably could have started SpaceX if your parents were billionaire owners of Zambian diamond mines, too) especially when discussing marginalized populations, like Native Americans that I have been speaking of.
While you may feel that tax remittances for education and support are disproportionately favoring these communities, it’s important to recognize the historical context behind such measures. Native American populations have faced centuries of systemic marginalization, including forced removal from their lands (sure, we should just do away with the reservation system and take them for good and allow them to go to the highest bidder), cultural genocide, and ongoing socio-economic disadvantages. These factors have not only impacted their access to opportunities but also their ability to thrive in a system that often overlooks their unique challenges.
For example, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Native Americans experience some of the highest poverty rates in the country, with many living in areas where access to quality education and healthcare is severely limited. (sure, just move ) The legacy of boarding schools and assimilation practices has also resulted in significant cultural disconnection and language loss, further complicating the landscape for these communities.
While you have worked hard to create opportunities for yourself, it’s essential to recognize that many Native Americans are working just as hard, often against much steeper odds. Acknowledging these challenges doesn’t negate your personal achievements; rather, it highlights the importance of equitable support systems that consider historical injustices. Again, recognize and be thankful for what you have been given. It isn't a knock on yourself to recognize this.
When we talk about equal opportunity, we must also recognize the systemic barriers that exist. It’s not simply a matter of personal effort; it’s about creating an environment where everyone has access to the resources (the things you say you weren't given and think they can have access to) and support they need to succeed. Instead of viewing state support as a detriment, perhaps consider it a step towards leveling a playing field that hasn’t been fair for all.
Discontent can indeed be a motivator for change, but it should come with the awareness of the broader context in which individuals operate. Embracing this understanding allows for more constructive conversations about how to work towards a fairer society for everyone, particularly those who have been historically marginalized.
I'm sure you'll have all the answers as to why my reply is BS. I'm looking forward to your laugh emoji popping up after you read all of one sentence of my reply.
