She's an idiot. What she doesn't realize is that the Native American thing comes from something known as "blood quantum" which actually had nothing to do with blood. White "sociologists" of the 19th century would come up to people and based on their head, chest, other body part sizes would determine how Indian a person was and distribute land amongst the most "pure" Indian which broke all sorts of treaties previously signed. Today, most would argue that pure bloods are the only ones to be recognized since the government tends to say, "**** you" otherwise and even does in those cases because they are not making money off of them. Play the game or they don't bother with you. There are a lot more issues other than this playing out but I can't possibly cover them all, but I chose this one since she wants to do the race thing.
Most of what Indians do now is based on trying to get the government to respect their autonomy and make changes to the Constitution that promote protecting the Earth as if it were their own mother. The 7th generation movement covers most of this and if the rest I'll leave to look up unless someone asks.
What's funny though is that I bet she never really grew up around the actual stereotype she claims is so prevalent among blacks. I grew up where people got shot in the head for some shoes in the neighborhood library. Police came 12 hours after the call. Parents did not want you going outside. People witness crimes but say nothing because they don't want to be next. Young women who see their fathers grow up as crack heads. Yet, I bet this chick ain't seen a lick of it. She don't even know how these people got like this. Ignores that the city never gave a damn and white flight is occurring in many cities now and they continue to ignore the poor areas which then makes the cycle worse and the later generations even more ignorant and bitter. "But they are so bad!" Ass.
I don't like people like her. I can't respect someone who generalizes everything. She has these issues with herself so she demeans an entire race to make for shortcomings and make herself feel superior. I really to copy and paste this and allow some psychology professor to do a case study on her. 😆
