Under a treaty after the end of the War Between the States, the Cherokee Indian Tribe, which fought for the South, and owned slaves, was required to give tribal citizenship to the black slaves it owned after the war and their descendants - whether they had Indian blood or not.
Yes, a minority was just as racist as the racist white man.
The Cherokee's decided they didn't like the treaty recently and decided to change the rules and ousted them.

The US Government is telling the Indians they need to give citizenship back.
The Cherokees are saying "um, we make our own rules, you're not going to tell us what to do." And why not? They are a sovereign nation!
Ironically: Like the US Government is one to get all over an Indian tribe for not abiding by a treaty....since...that's how the Indians all ended up on reservations in the first place.
More ironically - its a democrat government who's in the middle of this -you know? Democrats? The ones who support minorities? Yes, it's a democrat government telling one minority (Indians) what they have to do in regards to screwing another minority (Blacks).
Even MORE ironically - the head of the government who was overwhelmingly supported by minorities - is half white/half black. Must be the white half of him doing this.
And even more ironic - or - consistent? Of COURSE its blacks getting screwed. Not the orientals. Not Hispanics. Etc, etc, etc. Blacks. Ultimate racism. The same ones who are ALWAYS screwed. Bottom of the heap. Heap big heap of heap big racism.
And, with a bit of a twist, if we put the media on "Spin Cycle" - we can even claim in a politically incorrect stab that of course its the blacks claiming they are entitled to something.
Now we know not all blacks are like this. Just the ones who've been ousted in this instance. But still....just a bunch of ironic observations.
