The reason this got to the Supreme Court is because some Indian raped and murdered a child. He was sentenced to death, but his lawyers argued that according to an 1866 treaty, it wasn't state land so the state couldn't prosecute him. Well, it made it to the Supreme Court, and here we are.

So because some Indian raped and murdered a child, Indians get half the state of Oklahoma. Welcome to the United States of America.

Screw that, they allowed someone who raped and killed a child to go free, they should be lucky they don't get wiped off the face of the earth for that shit. I've seen more happen for less.

I'm not going to lay the crimes of one Native American on the feet of all Native Americans.

Congress failing to do their duty got us here.

Why not, they have been doing it to us for over a century, while blacks have been doing it for 150+ years. What is the difference? Those people who did the crime in our case is still alive.

No one that owned slaves, or did the land deals, etc for/with/against the Indians have been dead for well over a century. Myself, my parents, and their parents never owned slaves or were part of the Indian deals. So why should I be held accountable for something that I had nothing to do with?
