Cherokee Nation Kicks Out Nearly 3,000 Black Members

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Yea

and the Blacks weren't sold to the whites by Blacks,

and the Blacks didn't adopt the White religion and do the holy ghost,

and Bob Marley made the song Buffalo Soldiers for no reason. GTFOH

Wtf are you rambling about? And what does this have to do with me pondering what was quoted?

On January 14, 2011, Cherokee District Court Judge John Cripps ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in the Raymond Nash et al v. Cherokee Nation Registrar case, reinstating Cherokee Nation citizenship and enrollment to the Freedmen descendants. Cripps ruled that the 2007 constitutional amendment that disenrolled the Freedmen descendants was void by law because it conflicted with the Treaty of 1866 that guaranteed their rights as citizens.[74]
The Cherokee Nation held general elections for Principal Chief between challenger Bill John Baker, a longtime Cherokee Nation councilman, and Chad Smith, the incumbent Principal Chief, on June 24, 2011. Baker was declared the winner by 11 votes, but the Election Committee determined that Smith had won by 7 votes on the next day. In a recount, Baker was declared the winner by 266 votes but Smith appealed to the Cherokee Supreme Court that ruled that a winner could not be determined with mathematical certainty. A special election was scheduled for September 24, 2011. On August 21, 2011, prior to the scheduling of the Cherokee special election, the Cherokee Nation Supreme Court reversed the January 14th decision of the Cherokee District Court resulting in the disenrollment of the Freedmen descendants. Justice Darell Matlock Jr. ruled that the Cherokee people had the sovereign right to amend the Cherokee Nation constitution and to set citizenship requirements. The decision was 4 to 1 with Justice Darrell Dowty dissenting.[75] Many observers questioned the timing of the decision as the Cherokee Freedmen voters, who voted in the June general election, were disenfranchised going into the election. The decision removed the injunction of the District Court which kept the Freedmen descendants in the Nation. On September 11, 2011, the Cherokee Nation sent letters to 2800 Freedmen descendants informing them of their disenrollment.[76] In response, Jon Velie and the Freedmen descendants filed another motion for preliminary injunction in federal district court asking to reinstate their rights for the election.[77]
As a result of the Cherokee Supreme Court ruling, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development suspended $33 million in Cherokee Nation funds while it studied the issue of the Freedmen descendants' disenrollment.[76] Larry Echo Hawk, Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, sent a letter to acting Principal Chief Joe Crittenden stating that the Department of the Interior never approved the Cherokee constitutional amendments that excluded the Freedmen descendents from tribal membership. Echo Hawk stated said that the September 24, 2011 election would be considered unconstitutional if the Freedmen descendants were excluded from voting, as guaranteed by the Treaty of 1866.[78] On September 14, Cherokee Attorney General Diane Hammons recommended reopening the case with the previous reinstatement to be applied while oral arguments would be scheduled.[79][80] In a preliminary federal court hearing on September 20, 2011, Judge Henry Kennedy heard arguments from Jon Velie representing the Freedmen descendants, Amber Blaha representing the US government, and Graydon Dean Luthey, Jr. representing the Cherokee Nation. Following arguments, the parties announced that the Cherokee Nation, Freedmen plaintiffs and US government had come to an agreement to allow the Freedmen descendants to be reinstated as citizens with the right to vote, with voting to continue two additional days. The Cherokee Nation was to inform the Freedmen of their citizenship rights no later than September 22.
On September 23, 2011, Velie returned to the Court with the other parties as virtually none of the Freedmen descendants had received notification with the election happening the next day. Judge Kennedy signed an additional agreed upon Order between the parties requiring additional time for absentee ballots for Freedmen descendants and five days of walk-in voting for all Cherokees.[81]
In October 2011, Bill John Baker was inaugurated as Principal Chief after the Cherokee Supreme Court rejected an appeal of the election results by former chief Chad Smith

 

[The Real]

You are correct but if alcoholism and suicide are brought to light (for whatever reason) why not bring to light the high percentage of blacks being crackheads, being 90% of the prison population, their woman over 90% of the strip club/prostitution population, the monstrous amount of black on black crime etc..

Leaving aside the outlandish exaggeration in your post, this isn't a contest about who is more fukked up. You suggested that casinos meant that Indians were doing ok, when I referred to crumbs, and now you're agreeing with me and saying that besides a few elites, Indians are not doing ok. That was my point.

Sucking up ? Ive said this before , There is no other race that has killed more White People ( the same whites in both our history) than Native Americans.

That may or may not be true, but it's also true that very few other groups of natives have bowed down to white people like the Cherokee Nation.

its 2013, and you still holding on tight to the nikka word that white people gave you. The word nikka has evolved . I used the word nikka in my previous post , "on some real nikka shyt" to get a point across. and i'm pretty sure everybody here instantly understands that phrase. thats how i raised , you mad ?

It's not about understanding. It's about you making racist claims about Black people and complaining about them while liberally using "nikka."

All they are saying is take a blood test, prove you have Cherokee blood to be able to qualify for the Cherokee benefits. & It doesn't only apply to blacks , it just seems like a whole lot of blacks don't have the blood ( nd are shyt out of luck) and are now calling it racist.

I mean shyt , if the blacks were truly involved with the C.N. ( in and out ) this would have been deaded internally . But there not Cherokee Activist and their don't have Cherokee blood. Oh well, had a good run .
The blacks that do have the blood , Well they continue getting whats theirs .

Actually, it's not about blood tests. It's about the Dawes Rolls. That is very problematic for reasons I already described. In fact, under this system, you can have Cherokee DNA verified by a blood test and still not qualify as part of the tribe.

All that needs to be said. To all them black chicks going out of their way to let you know they got Cherokee blood And it will always be some midnight black chick too

is wrong with you? Please google before you post idiotic things. You can easily go the Bureau of Prisons and see that black do not make up nearly 90% of the prison population. BOP: Quick Facts

There are no stats for the strip club thing, but that is stupid to even say that given that the strip clubs usually cater to their own demographics and most white strip clubs may employ one or two black women. If you are going to try to debate with people, at least come with actual facts.

 

[Northern Son]

most negroes are of bantu descent from west africa.

West Africans are not Bantu speakers.

 

[The Hovering Heed]

Nobody catch feelings.

I exaggerated, a little .

Abso831 bodied the thread.

Everybody was right .

I got my Cherokee blood from my grandpa , he was half black , mother born on plantation .

Love you all.

 

[Danie84]

Ironic, for the red "brothas" to act like those same cacs that decimated their livelihood, and throw half of us in the bushes

 

[blackzeus]

This is def not a race war move, Its simply as this . If you don't have enough blood in you , you cannot receive the benefits that's were given to the original Cherokees.

The consequence of getting some foreign booty? Maybe.

Kind of like when a relative dies and only leaves wealth/property to his nuclear family "wife, son etc", the extended family " cousins etc." don't get anything. No big deal right?

Breh, f*ck that Indian, stop wasting your time. Most of the Cherokee nation ain't touchin' that money either. And they got the liquor stores and the loan sharkers right there for when they got cash to spend. That's why so many of 'em are f*cked up and suicidal, they went from supportin' themselves to livin' off the white man's teat. And it's 100% bullsh*t that somebody who actually has Cherokee blood is denied the benefits the tribe is getting. Somebody who is 1/8th Cherokee should still be part of the nation. The positive about this is that it should be a reinforcement to nikkaz that don't claim other sh*t, it makes you weak. My great great grandfather was German, and my grandmother Cuban, but I only claim black. The f*ck I look like trying to tell people I'm part German One drop rule still applies nikkaz.

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Ahhh he mad.

Now its crumbs? Why you make this thread?

The Cherokee (A single Tribe ) got Casinos, Banks, and Land. I believe that's more than crumbs.

And yes i am Native & Cherokee.

And i don't have to say explain why i say nikka, but ima do it anyways. since your reaching .

You sound like a fukking idiot. Your people used to own this fukking land, now your relegated to a bunch of shytty reservations and you act like your winning? Wow your stupid. I hope your just a kid, because if your over 25 with this mindset your beyond stupid.;

Word. My grandmother was something. Keep it real with you, I don't know what tribe She was half native american. Her mother, my great grandmother was full blood. Cherokee, Seminole, one of those muthafukkas. So in turn, I have slick smooth hair like an Indian or an Mexican. People ask me every other day what I'm mixed with and I'm just like "Black" because I feel like a giant c00n talking about I'm Native American when I'm as black as fukk




I'mma go see what's good with those benefits though

This quote sounds like a 15 year old white boy. "shytty.... stupid.... fukking idiot ".
Anyways i' ma give you this work! since your a "Supporter" of Coli.

We FOUGHT (as in WAR) and held on to our CULTURE.

Can you say the same ?

You took the MLK route. Your culture is Entertainment & Drugs .

As Far as Reservations you speak of .....

In The America Natives Have 56.2 Million acres, if you convert that to sq.miles that is 87812. (use Google calc)

With that being said out of the 50 states in America only 10 is bigger than the reservations in land size . 10 breh........ 10.

u.s. states by size

That's double the size of New York.

You don't deserve my smiley game.
