I'm not so sure about the indiginous to Africa thing. I like to cling to the possibility of that cracka's skeleton they found in North America that supposedly predates Indians. Not for racial purity, but to throw a monkeywrench into the silly things involved with it. Not that it matters anyway. The English are really German, the Stotts are really Irish, the Japanese are really Chinese, etc., etc., and there's a lot of ethnic contention with most of those cultures.

Really, regardless of what the circumstances are, and regardless of what happened hundreds of years ago, I think the time left for reservations as sovreign states is finite. This is an industrialized nation, and the farther along the timeline you get with that sort of thing, the less ethnicity matters. These cultures exist on the basis of race, and that actually goes against the grain of most of the country.

That said, of course I'm not surprised that they would try to execute moves to keep their so-called racial purity. Understand -- disagree.

Somewhere back the line, my Teutonic ancestors oppressed my Gaelic ancestors. I guess I just need to take all the money from my left pocket and stick it into my right.
