"I've noticed an alarming trend of American Indian kids forgetting their heritage, traditions and history and instead focusing on worn-out rap music, watching MTV and Hollywood trash, learning how to roll blunts, and spending hundreds of dollars on basketball shoes while still living with granny and not chipping in on rent or groceries.
They speak of "mobbing" to the club with their "posse" and have lyrics to Too Short's raps memorized, which may blow away a few street hoods but is otherwise unimpressive on a resume."
