Johnny, Johnny, Johnny. In my defense, I am not an apologist for the Tiger Administration. I am an optimist. I prefer to hope that Chief Tiger will make the needs of all the MCN people a priority, not political influence.

Yesterday the Oklahoma Attorney General filed a federal law suit against persons and organizations developing the casino in Broken arrow. Now facts will eventually come out on the Creek leaders who at first supported this attack on the Creek Nation.
Ms: Giles and her sister have been double-crossed, just as the entire Creek Nation has been treated by the politicos, who have taken favors under the guise of a political contribution and then openly voted down a tobacco compact with Oklahoma 5 years ago, now the same people have stated in court and written letters of support for a casino in Broken Arrow to compete with the Creek Nations River Spirit Casino.
They now change their support for the Broken Arrow casino which should have the proponents hopping mad along with Kialiagee members all who voted in the last election and now are at the mercy of the Oklahoma AG and in the case of tobacco the US Attorney.
Moral: Cheap politicians will say and promise anything to get elected.
Those same politicians are now scrambling to protect their own future at the expense of Creek citizens who believed their promises.
It is easy to state that 400 Kialiagee members decided the last election and they will be lucky to come out of this no win situation with a sofkey pot.

All should watch the Tulsa World for they have several bulldogs working this casino and tobacco matter that will not give up!

your quote is correct they can trace their roots back to non-freedman indians, that means to me they can trace their bloodlines back to indians that weren't black

This bs has nothing to do with the freedmen...this group claims Indian blood status which has nothing to do with the treaty or the majority of freedmen...it appears to be just a fraud to raise money from a group of people who are already to poor to fight back...if you notice in the article it said tracing back to non freedmen Indians...

Yeah... all about benefits just like 85% of Creeks by blood... there are what... around 72,600 enrolled citizens and how many voted??? How many take an active roll in their tribe? You are all pathetic. Rap music??? Really??? Now how many Natives grew up and where influenced by black culture??? Bunch of wanna be thugs.... How many of you pathetic people complain about the house payment being to high when it maxes out at $350? You are no different. Want want want... want even more... The two cultures are actually really close... you eat fekce.. they eat chitlins... you eat catvhakv they eat ash bread... you have safke they have ugali... both cultures beat drums and dance around fires... both cultures have issues with alcoholism, diabetes, heart disease, domestic violence, teen pregnancy..... so get over yourself... by logic and the current theory we would all be africans anyway right? And what makes you think that your suffering is any more deserving than any one elses suffering? When you the oppressed was also the oppressor??? You are lucky to have the "benefits" and "sovereignty" that you have.

My ancestors were white.
My ancestors were slaves of Creek people.
Does that make me Creek?
Or do we get our own tribe?

He's afraid someone like me might just be looking for a Creek job, and just might get hired. I am not a friend but someone in personnel might not know that and I just might get hired. That terrifies ole' George.
