If We Pay Reparations To Blacks, Shouldn\u2019t We Also Pay Them To America\u2019s Indians?<\/h1>\n

Every inch of American soil was stolen from the Indians who were forced onto reservations that barely sustained life and they are truly suffering because of it today<\/b><\/h3>\n

When I wrote my article about Sheila Jackson Lee\u2019s Second Amendment shredding Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act, I mentioned that she also introduced H.R. 40,\u00a0the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act.<\/p>\n

While Jackson Lee\u2019s crazy gun control act is not likely to see the light of day, her reparation bill has a good chance of passing in the Democrat controlled House.\u00a0 Although H.R. 40 does not call for reparations, the commission to study them is the precursor\u00a0 for doing exactly that.<\/p>\n

You can bet the commission will recommend the payment of reparations on the grounds that today\u2019s plight of African-Americans is the result of slavery and Jim Crow laws. \u00a0 In other words, those blacks who are living near or in poverty are poor because of slavery and Jim Crowism.\u00a0 One could even say that the Bloods, Crips and other black street gangs are shooting up black neighborhoods because of slavery.<\/p>\n

But if we pay reparations to blacks for the wrongs whites exacted on them, what about the American Indians?\u00a0 Every inch of American soil was stolen from them by whites.\u00a0 In the Western United States, the government forced them onto reservations that barely sustained life.\u00a0 And they are truly suffering because of it today.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been to several Indian reservations in Arizona and Riverside County, California and the living conditions there are absolutely deplorable.<\/p>\n

There are few jobs and alcoholism is rampant. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of course not all Indians lice in abject poverty.\u00a0 The Agua Caliente <\/span><\/span>band of Cahuilla\u00a0Indians are well off because Palm Springs sits on their reservation.\u00a0 And a number of reservations now have casinos which have improved the lives of the Indians residing thereon. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Texas has three federally-recognized Indian tribes: The <\/span><\/span><\/span>Alabama-Coushatta Tribe in Livingston, the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Kickapoo Traditional Tribe in Eagle Pass and the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo tribe of Tigua Indians in El Paso.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Only the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino has been allowed to operate.\u00a0 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has shut down casinos run by the Tiguas and the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Alabama-Coushatta tribe.\u00a0 And Gov. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Greg Abbott has publicly stated that he opposes gaming establishments on tribal lands.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Meanwhile residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth area and those of the Houston-Galveston area are improving the lives of Oklahoma and Louisiana Indians by spending millions of dollars at nearby Indian casinos in those states.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While reparations for blacks is debatable, if any group is deserving of any reparations, it is the American Indians.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
