In The Hoop: BadIndianz.Com?

BadIndianz.Com?

We can rest now knowing that we've earned the accolades of "the first conservative American Indian in the American media." Forget the elders, this is the validation we've been waiting for! Ahhhh. Favorite line: "I don't see any advantage, therefore, in Indians associating with or encouraging association with black people."

Gentlmen, I am not familiar with the folks that produce Indianz.com, but I wanted to tell you it is one terrific site. For Indian news, it is a step up from IndianCountryToday, in my opinion. The forums are a bit chaotic, but that's always the case with un-monitored forums. The juvenile mind set rules in such cases, always. And so many non-Indians try to dominate, trying to pretend they are Indian. This is unfortunate, but common.

In any case, I do appreciate your efforts in voluminous Indian news, and the facile accessibility of your stories. This is outstanding. My own web site (www.BadEagle.com) will be undergoing some reconstruction soon, and I will be sure to list Indianz.com as a top source of Indian news.

Sincerely,
Dr. David A. Yeagley

PS: As an advisement, when Indians are associated with black people, Indians lose. This is the record of interracial initiatives. I don't see any advantage, therefore, in Indians associating with or encouraging association with black people. Two very different peoples, with very different histories. Racial coalitions put Indians on the bottom, every time. Blacks dominate. Is this where you want to be?
