They squandered it on budweiser and incest.

And Jews had nothing to do with that?

You should visit a reservation, believe me they're not very different from blacks. That said, I agree they shouldn't go extinct and I'd support pro-natal policies for indians. It's not just alcohol and incest, they outbreed at a rate of 50-60%, they have rampant drug issues, and large amounts of them live in rural poverty. No one really deserves the position they're in right now.

The reservarion near me didn't allow any alcohol sales until the casino was built. They made an exception for the casino in order to get the deal, and it applies to inside the casino only. If you go to a gas station or grocery store on reservation to buy beer, they wont have any. Restaurants dont serve drinks either.

The reason is obvious. It's a measure to help reduce the rampant alcoholism on reservations. Chief Fucks-his-cousins can still buy booze off reservation, but it seems to help.

Yeah, this is why I compare them to blacks. Natives are impulsive and single-minded people, broadly speaking. It's not just alcohol either, heroin ravages indian communities, the Navajo in particular. It's actually depressing to see the squalor these people live in, and have lived in for generations. Compare a reservation to rural black ghettos in the deep south, you can barely notice a difference.
