Uh huh - so your argument is:

“My plight is worse than yours though”..

You are either a US citizen and believe we should strive to all to be treated under an equal set of rules or you’re an asshole, imo.

So what?

Do you not see that most people in the United States come from nothing, into an underprivileged or disadvantaged position, which is politically and socioeconomically rigged against them - that most people’s families are affected adversely by the wealthy classes influence of the proletariat?

What makes you worse than any other bourgeoisie elitist to think you deserve special treatment for no other reason than your bloodline?

Nobody knows about ANCSA like it’s common knowledge - but nice job googling and casually referencing it - and it’s signed in date - as if it is.

The point however is that Indian tribe descendants shouldn’t get special treatment as special class US citizens because they arent special.

I don’t think Native Americans should be given anything any other citizen isn’t offered.

If you’re bringing up old agreements/promises made between groups generations ago as the argument for why things should be done that opens you up to a whirlwind of pain for people who know how to actually debate.

Im a native American.

As in - I was born in America. Not somewhere else:

Why tf do people born in America today not get the same treatment as people born in America today?

And why tf would I be happy about being treated differently when it is quite literally people like ME who pay taxes and they don’t?!

And just so we’re clear - I think ALL tax paying citizens in the US should be given the same treatment - regardless of race, religion, or where their grandparents are from.
