A lot of people only discuss the corruption we're up against to a degree, and when it gets too overwhelming or too much effort for them, Then they often times try to belittle those predicaments to conform them to their Willingness to confront or their understanding of these issues dynamics that are very costly on my peoples quality of life. Then we have the individuals that try to authenticate themselves through cultural and racial teachings or values as if that is suppose to compensate for their lack of understanding or their lack of courage and commitment to engage these issues adequately. Then these intolerant people project the most condescending, disingenuous, duplicity of the corrupt hypocritical ideals their conditioned not to see, and most time, a corruption that is ingrained into their lifestyles. Their ignorance reminds when I was younger and went to school with kids that worked their parents farm before coming into school. I admire these hard working young individuals, but the obnoxious odor of their farm work was unbearable at times, but they were oblivious to the fact their odor conflicted with the learning environment because they have become accustomed to the odor. That is until the more crass children started making fun of them for their smell. And now in the same sense, this obnoxious ignorance is conflicting with the struggles set before us here in Indian country today. A lot of these people have good hearts, or good intentions, but most times they suffer from a conceited, Self centered, delusional, bloated self worth that interferes with any attempt of intelligence or solidarity they try and put forth. Are these people really that oblivious to the loathsome manner in which they insist on carrying themselves in? In some cases more then likely, people do become resentful of things that are out of their reach, like for example; a genuine insight to the problems we are up against today in Indian country. Yeah they might initially start their days off with good intentions, but the but the overwhelming reality of their hypocritical lifestyles throws all those good intentions out the door at the end of their unproductive day. Then we have those that only take on things they know they have little chance at failing on. These people fear humility, rejection, confrontation, then these people give themselves a false sense of accomplishment and let these accomplishments get to their heads. They then act as if we all owe them something for playing it safe. These are the people that don't realize there is no struggle. without blood, sweat, and tears, and without struggle there is no progress. Without courage, their is no engagement of the matters that have been neglected on confronting. Without confrontation, there is no real effort or struggle to correct these matters weighing heavily on the lives on my people. So, you really need to ask yourself, are you really even one the people? Or are you just conditioned to being distracted trying to be the Indian our oppressors need you to be? Or are just your own oppressor?
