Lol and here we thought it was only white vs black.

After reading the article I don't think they're being racist. It's a bit of a financially motivated dick move though. The Freed Slaves that joined the tribe aren't actual Cherokees by ancestry, so they really don't have a stake in the money except in cases where they intermarried with the Cherokees and had children, with the children having a hereditary stake. Like an in-law's rights to a hereditary inheritance. A husband/wife's cousins or siblings would have no stake in a trust left by the parents/grandparents/etc of their spouse despite now being part of my family. The children produced with that spouse, however, would.

Total dick move and it does seem racially motivated on the surface, but this:

"In the run-up to the 2007 amendment vote, some proponents of expelling the freedmen suggested that more blacks might apply for membership to receive tribal money."

It's about color, the color green. /edgy

edit: Also learned something new, did not know that the Native American tribes owned black slaves as well back in the day

So do they actually get kicked out of the land or allowed to stay and considered some lesser group of non citizens?

I'd imagine it's both removing them as being Native citizens and kicking them off the Native reservations.

edit: Reading on it, a lot of the mixed black/native people could get ****ed as well since they have to prove they have Native ancestry somewhere down the line and back in the day when the US government did the Native census, any mixed white/native person went down as "indian" (Native) in the books, but mixed black/native went down as "freedmen" (Black).

Really ****ed up these people born and raised with them for several generations now. Even if their genetic ties are dubious at best they are Cherokee at least the post US version.

Why are blacks always getting screwed over?

Even though things are better than they've ever been in terms of equality for minorities, women, children and homosexuals, institutional racism still exist in America, that.

But this really seems like it has to do more with greed; than just old fashioned racism.

Well fck the Indians. No wonder we exterminated them.

Buncha greedy/racist hachet men.

No wonder they coined the term "Never trust an Indian"

Buncha backstabbing lowlifes.

Complaining about racism...then proceeding to generalize and say super racist things. Right.

Yeah, just a bit of a random racist outburst. I congratulate you, however, on not having called them 'timber n***ers'. Your restraint is admirable.

Well I actually did not say anything racist, the tern never trust an Indian goes back since well, the 1800's.

The term low life is a general term used for any and all scum bags.

However this article really pissed me off what they are doing.

I can think of quite a few words/phrases dating back to the 1800's and even older. Doesn't mean they're not racist. Oh, and 'hatchet men'. That's totally not derogatory.

You're actually offending me. Not all Indians are the same, so stop lumping them all together. I am Black, and American Indian. Real a$$hole comment. Good job.

Thats the problem with the internet, people are easily offended..

Lol.

Ran into a few, and people are just people of any race. If some people want to be a jerk and heavy handed, that can happen in any race, ethnicity and gender. To think otherwise is very naive and gullible. I feel that any money ( Native Americans) get from gaming or other industry, should be sent back to D.C. dollar for dollar. There is a lot of double dipping going on.

WTF.

On topic. Yes, Native Americans can be very racist. So can every other "race".
