littleangrytiger:

first let’s clear the popular misconceptions :

1. the US government doesn’t pay, it’s the TRIBAL governments.
2. not all nations offer scholarship programs.
3. it doesn’t pay for everything, no scholarship does.
4. over 95% of natives quit high school & don’t qualify for college.
5. Natives are statistically the poorest population in this country.

now let’s break down where that money is going :

• Natives only make up 1.37% of the population.
• only 1% out of the native population attends college.
• only part of that 1% uses a scholarship.
• “your” taxes do not pay for that scholarship.

What you’re really saying is “how dare 0.0001% of the citizens, from the poorest population in this country, get a scholarship from their respective Native Nations!!”

do you feel silly now? you should feel silly.
