Fox News makes me laugh

I don't know what history book you've been reading, but we were killing off the Native American population and sending them to reservations LONG after the Revolutionary War.

Yes, there are currently college scholarships available. That is a recent development and a minor one in comparison to the years of poverty and its inherent social issues. If you had ever been to a reservation (going to go out on a real limb here) you wouldn't be yapping about "white folks guilt" and the "soft bigotry of low expectations." If you come from a poor family, go to school in a poor neighborhood, or your parents do not have a higher education, the deck is already statistically stacked against you, regardless of your color or heritage.

The obesity problem you speak of is not an indicator that people are getting enough food, but often that the foods they CAN afford are unhealthy and fattening.

It mostly ended in 1887 with the Daws Act and completely over in 1934, with the passage of The Indian Reorganization Act, which funded infrastructure, health care, and education on the reservations and encouraged self-government and land management by tribes. Neither I nor my parents were alive at either time period, so don?t tell me what ?we? have done.

I?ve been to a reservation and volunteered. I?ve been to Appalachia and volunteered. I?ve been to ghettos and volunteered. Do I need to list anecdotal stories of CEOs and the like who have grown up poor? If the poor have the decks stacked against them, it?s because Progressives have done so by patronizing them, telling them it is not their fault, and offering crutch after crutch as incentives to stay poor.

That?s just not true. They can make a choice to exercise and eat right, or they can make the easy choice like many have in various other aspects of their life.

So does 6th gen mean 6 generations of racism and bigotry?

You need to pay more attention to what he is saying.

Mr. bug, I think you need to remember they were killing us also.

A McDonald's "Value" Meal, costs over $5 in most areas. One can easily go to the grocery store and buy healthy groceries and with a few basic instructions, produce a great tasting, healthy, balanced meal for that price, if not less. So, I don't understand your point.

What is all this for? She simply stated the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.

I was just saying hi.

Again, a good point being made.
