      And we have the Poarch Creek Indians here in NW Florida. I have yet to see an identifiable Indian, even at their own casino in Alabama. 1/512th Indian blood ain’t Indian.

        And? You’ve heard of the Trail of Tears and the Indian Removal Act, yes? Where do you think the end of that trail was?

          We already established I’m from Oklahoma. We learned this as children in the 70s. And yet I have never known an Indian, not one that’s remotely close to full-blooded anyway. Loads of tribes ended up there, but they’ve been genetically (mostly) wiped out.

            That’s just an ignorant lie.

            You’re pulling the same “they don’t look like Indians to me” racist bullshit that Trump did.
