Publications in Oklahoma never publish achievements from minority groups yet jump on every negative incident that happens within those communities. Especially prominent Indian leaders. My grandfather was honored by both the governor and the president, but when he died, the Oklahoman didn't so much as fart, but had he been white, guess how much honor this paper would have bestowed? You say, where is this racism? <br /><br />Look at all the wasted coverage of wealthy parties and nonsense charities in that paper rubbing elbows and taking drunk group shots while cursing Obama. <br /><br />Its a disgrace. If natives should not be angered, at the least working poor Oklahomans should be. They are the ones that keep Oklahoma's economy afloat just so the rich can sink it.<br /><br />Oklahoma is a penal state with a large inmate percentage being Indian per capita population. Do the math. I can almost see South Dakota being the same as Oklahoma.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-89813289098771475872013-05-03T06:16:48.810-07:002013-05-03T06:16:48.810-07:00With 12% Native population in the area, it would m...With 12% Native population in the area, it would make sense for the paper to serve this population segment better.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
