Money Is Not Racist, It's Capitalism

A column in the Green Bay Press online about racism and the American Indian. I will not argue that there is racism in this country no matter what the skin color. I just have to laugh when I think about all the money the tribes take in at all the Wisconsin casino's. There's seems to be no racism when it comes to green backs.

A column by Raina Kelley, a black lady, in Newsweek caught my eye this week. She wrote about the code words used to hide the unvarnished racism that seems to be permeating the American scene.

Less known in most of America, but well known to American Indians, is the covert racism that afflicts those Americans with “red skin” as opposed to black."

Native Americans were shafted in many ways in the past but they sure know how to get even today. They just buy their land back with all the money that white people throw at them at the casinos. If we and I include myself want to go to casinos, good for me for having fun and good for the tribes for making money. I may argue they should pay the state more but that's for another day. Bottom line

Capitalism, it's the American way.
