is that real?

who would borrow from them anyway? their own tribe members? non-native americans?

so is that their new way of making money, after the casinos?

i wonder if white man hadn't set foot on north america, would they still be nomadic hunter gatherers?

some of those groups are pretty notorious for taking advantage of their brethren with stuff like this.

^^Probably. Just like if it wasn't for the white man inventing the internal combustion engine and so many uses for hydrocarbons arabs would still be fucking camels and living as desert nomads.

I see those western sky commercials on TV all the time

Different set of laws apply on the reservation. It's like doing business with a foreign bank.

Or a payday lender, or a loan shark.

Who would borrow from them? Desperate people with atrocious credit who have nowhere else to turn.

I don't understand the tone or point of the post here:

However, I will respond:

^^Probably. Just like if it wasn't for the Greeks, Indians, and Arabs inventing science and math and so many uses for them the white man would still be living in the dark ages.

[which is just as pointless, as it doesn't address my question about Native Americans]

Side note...you gotta love how sarcasm is lost in translation sometimes, lol

Derp.

PS - Pretty sure most greeks would be considered "white" since they are, you know, European. Pretty sure under most "race" definitions both Indians and Arabs are considered "white" as well.

Considering you people or rather your ancestors did something similar to swindle us out of our lands, I feel no sympathy here.

one thing that's important to note is that you can pay it off early if you want, unlike some payday loans. so you can get out of it wayyy cheaper than those payment plans

You fail to demonstrate where Jews fit in.
