Black People Politics : What America sees...

[ogoun]

I went to "ask", where upon I did ask what the federal governments pay the Cherokee. I couldn't find it again, but I did find this:

113 million dollars split among 113 tribes........hmmm
seems a far cry from the figures cited earlier and it's funny how someone else is deciding rather what those within their respective communities think that big(?) million dollar check should be used for.

I'm still waiting for the sourcing of the previously stated figures and numbers in post #305. If they can't be found then we'll safely assume they were just made-up.....in other words outright LIES.
The best that can be said about those figures were that they're urban fables rather then just plain ordinary oh hum lies by omission like the above quoted snippet engages in.

Willa: Is too.

ogoun: Is not.

Funny! Try this on. Note the tribe who would like to return the 1.5 million of Fed government grants because they are in gaming and don't need the Feds. whoops! that didn't come up. Try Try again!

You hail from NYC SOF,
So you know if one wants let's say, get into the coin operated vending business of anything......you best know there are 'other people' to talk and deal with other than the pencil pushers at city hall. This is for anything from juke boxes or pinball and the old fashion punch cards to the tampon machine in the ladies restroom and everything else in-between. If one doesn't know 'The Who else' then they will quickly find out, eh eh one way or the other.
A casino no matter how it presents itself, whatever kind of facade is painted on it's face is not much more then an elaborate vending machine business, a song and dance jukebox experience of a dime a play or three songs for a quarter. But one still has to talk to the very same people whether one wants a set of punch cards for the locale cafe or bar crowd, a candy machine in the hotel lobby or throwing down x number of million(s) for a casino. It's all the same business that are run by the same people.
Now understand they're not generally nasty people nor dishonest and in fact quite up front about it all, 8 to 10%.(off the top (casinos)) would be my guess.
After that they wash their hands of it and what someone else wants to do with that particular vending business AND profits is none of their concern. They're not in the business of searching for honest souls that are going to do right with the net proceeds.

Shrug, it's just the good old fashion American way don't ya know.

I just realized the video I did get posted says that the Black foot was awarded $800,000. I presume that runs out. which is more than $168,000. I actually think Cherokee get more than that, because that amount was for kids as they reach adulthood at $7347. X however many kids in the Cherokee nation turn 18 through a year of 12 months of birthdays. This is where I give up. I just picked up a scenario which in further consideration could be in reality a great deal more.

Oh, Willa who needs math when you are so brilliant in other places. heh heh

Willa, Willa, WILLA!!!!! That is not a picture of the real you. That's an emoji. Are you saying that the image in the emoji mirror is you?

But, she is so cute in her pink ribbons. I've paid her big money not to give any personal information about me beyond what I already blab about in the forums.
