I keep telling yall that blacks cannot get reparations because we come from a self enslaving people. If anybody owes us reparations is Africans. |

That doesn't matter when the institution of slavery is a way of life in Africa. When it was the black headed people who taught the world how this institution works and how to exploit it. We're never going to get any reparation. And if we do, then it will be paid by black Africans. |

Considering there are varied tribes, with different governments, with members who control their on, different casinos; I'm not sure I get the point you're trying to make.
Well considering that the Indians themselves built those casinos (with their money), again, I don't see what point you're making. The reason they built them is because they are not subject to the laws of the federal gov't in regards to gambling; yet they pay taxes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_casino
Unless those Indians are sharing the money amongst all natives, and had the U.S. gov't build those facilities for them, I'm not sure I follow. How is this reparations?
How is the nation compensating Indians for what they've absorbed? Do you realize the natives built those casinos with their own funds? That's like claiming a black opening a grocery store with his own money and having people buy his goods is "reparations." When it's nothing of the sort. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reparation_(legal)
If blacks wanted, they can open their own casinos. So how can they not accomplish something similar? Now, if the gov't provided the funds specifically for natives to build these casinos, then I stand corrected. Edited by TommyT, Apr 1 2012, 08:41 PM.

Am I wrong? For viewing Reservation Casinos, as reparations, for USA's Indian tribes? Yes, you're wrong reparations in the sense you're speaking of is a pay-out from the govt to a person or group of people for a wrong. The govt has not furnished one damn dime to the Indians to build these Casinos. That's why the govt can't control them. They are all on Indian Land so they are basically "untouchable". The State of Kansas tried to get one of the tribes here to partner with them in a state owned/operated Casino and the Indians basically told them to "Kiss off". The States' ploy.....if it was advertised as an Indian Casino then there would be more traffic, however the state also wanted 60% of the profits.....kind-a lop sided wouldn't you say? The Indians get their reparations monthly, for life, whether on or off the reservations. Pretty smart of the white boys to wait till all the slaves were dead to avoid paying any reparations to blacks. Got to hand it to them they are devious. And if that issue were to surface again there would be so many "ifs" attached to a bill that we still wouldn't get anything. If Blacks want Casinos anywhere all they have to do is build one. There is one black guy who bought out Fitzgerald's in Reno and Vegas and he also has a couple down south one in Tunica MS, and the other in Biloxi MS. So it can be done just takes will power and the right connections and MONEY! |

No, casinos should not be viewed as reparations and Blacks should never, EVER want to get the same deal as Native Americans and I'll tell you why. Native American casinos are typically built on or near reservations. Those reservations are part of the deal. If you've ever been near or on a Native American reservation you'll notice it's typically devoid of grass and, well, life in general. It's extremely shitty land. Most don't move off the reservation because they're treated worse than any other minority in America if you can imagine that plus I believe they lose all their Native American benefits. Another issue with the casino is it's not necessarily shared. It's like a pyramid scheme where the ones on the bottom get absolutely nothing. And, like politics, the people who need the most help don't receive it while the casino bosses rake in the dough and live on mansions on top of their dirt land. No, if you want reparations you definitely don't want it like the Native Americans have it. In fact, reading more about the history and present state of Native Americans will teach you extremely fast that it's far better to be a Black person with the prospect of becoming a multi-millionaire AND the POTUS than to be a Native American living in poverty with a damn casino he doesn't even get money from Edited by n.W.o., Apr 2 2012, 11:03 AM.
