This is a crying shame,instead of liquor stores they could put in Grocery stores,industry,Places these beautiful Indians could work and still live on their land.The American government is still killing these people on purpose.I AM ASHAMED OF AMERICA

[1Littleagger]

You are the one that sounds ingnorant.Stop being a hater,thats whats wrong with this world.GROW UP

[MegaDarryl1960]

yeah but, your friends are no better than drug dealers. they have no respect for the Indians. If they did, they wouldn't sell them liquor. Alcoholism is a disease, and alcohol is a drug. They know alcohol is banned on the rez, so they set up shop right next door!...lol

[MegaDarryl1960]

that's true but, white clay is making money off their addiction on purpose. they know exactly whats going on in pine ridge and have the attitude "fuck them, they're going to drink anyway, might as well make a profit off that"...drug dealers and pimps have the same attitude.

Nobody is putting a gun to the head of those indians and making them buy the liquor, if beer wasn't available they'd just dilute the alcohol in hair spray or other alcohol based products.

In a capitalist sense - hey this place is a cash cow. The dynamics are the same as people gambling their savings away at Las Vegas and so fourth. This is what America is - intriduce a product and make money no matter what the cost is to the people or the environment..lol..

[Boulevardwheels]

White Clay is just following the American Dream of capitalism - making profits off the poor and vulnerable. It is no different than what banks and major corporations do against everday US citizens. Hell, America trains would be dictactors and so fourth at the infamous School of the America's to each them to destroy people's hearts & minds and control them thru fear. America is allowing White Clay to do the same by means of destroying a people thru substance abuse.

Imperialism sucks. Free Pine Ridge!

[ForrestLaKoTa]

exactly what i was thinking. 

[Native Ojibwe]

my people have struggled with alcoholism since the white people showed up on our shores i myself struggle with alcohol. I pray for our people that we have the strength to one day say no to that spirit in that bottle.

[dwu32]

Don't blame someone else for the alcohol the consumer BUYS! Nobody is making people drink the alcohol they buy! If you want to protest that's your American right to do, but when my friends get their lives threatened then that's bullshit and illegal!

There are so many solutions to solve these problems, & shutting down white clay isn't one. Like they said, it'll only drive people to go to other towns off the Rez, & that would put others on the road in danger. The problem is the people drinking, that have a problem drinking, & don't have the strength to stop. It is hard living on a land that had its resources stripped. Those liquor store owners don't care, they just want what they can get. They feed off their misery.
