We have the same thing up here but with the natives. They can do whatever they want with no reprocutions. For example, last week a group of them decided to protest in support of the keystone protests. They felt it was their right to demonstrate and block off two of the 3 major intersections in our city of 115000 people right at lunch time for an hour. If that had been a group of white people our asses would be rounded up and hauled off to jail. No the natives though. What did the police do. Absolutely nothing. Oh, they directed traffic to detour around the blockade.
Back in 2004 the natives blocked the highway protesting that they were living in houses infested with mould. They got their way yet again. The government went in and built them all new houses. Within two years, they had burnt 4 of them down and the remaining ones were all but trashed. Busted windows. Holes in the walls. Kitchen cupboards destroyed etc..... All on the taxpayers dollar. And up here the government gives them a treaty card or status card which basically makes them tax exempt. No taxes payed in the store, on vehicles, gas, and no income tax. Which means that when I was working say my paycheck was $1300 for two weeks. A native doing the exact same freaking job as me was taking home $1900. And yet they cry racism at every opportunity.
While I'm at it, let's talk about the keystone pipeline blockade in North Dakota. I'd almost guarantee that it has less to do with contamination of the water and more to do with making sure the chief gets his piece of the pie in the way of cash flow for the oil traveling across his land. That is. ..if they are anything like the natives up here.
And people wonder why there's racism and discrimination. This is why. It should be equal across the board. No more favoritism for one race over another. You want a house, get your ass to work and buy one. It has mould in it? There's a neat little thing that's been around for a while called javex. Use it.
Rant over.....lol
