That whole Native American Mascot thing

Here's the deal. If Native Americans want universities to stop using mascots based on them, then all they need to do is give up one thing. Here in Michigan at least, if you have a certain percentage of Native American in you, you pretty much get a full ride to college. So, if they agree to be equal to the rest of us, and give up that extra benefit, I will gladly support them in stopping the use of the mascots.

I would also like to talk about two other issues where Native Americans need to address before they will have equality, well before everyone else gets equal treatment. First, have you ever noticed they are the only ones who can open a casino without a lot of difficulty? Why should they be allowed to be exempt from gambling laws? The second, they need to give back all reservation land. Now, I don't mean they can't own it; just that it will be considered just like the property anyone else owns. This will force them to pay taxes and estate taxes when they pass the land on to heirs, just like the rest of us.

We will never have MLK Jr.'s version of equality if we have legally allowed differences, or even group enforced ones. That means that by having BET, blacks aren't equal to whites, by having parades celebrating being gay, homosexuals will never be the same as heterosexuals, and by having reservations, Native Americans will always be separated from everyone else.
