In and around Cherokee, NC, it's a little different story.
What happens there?

I'll take your question as a genuine one, Butch.
The closer one gets to the Nation (I'm not talking about in the Nation, itself), the more disdain and out-and-out disrespect one can encounter.
There are still some people that feel that if something bad happens, "there's injuns about".
There are businesses that will surreptitiously refuse service. There's profiling by law enforcement. Many of the same things that we hear the outrage about, here, on a national level when talking about other races, happen with the same fervor in the close environs to the people.
I think, to some degree, it may be "natural" (please notice the quotes). Many native Americans tend to not want to assimilate. So, there's a cultural divide. I'm not saying that either culture is better than the other. I'm saying that they're different and when there are people deeply entrenched on cultural lines, those cultures, at some point, will "collide". That's always a recipe for disaster.
But, really, none of that is the issue of this thread. I brought it up to point out that with real issues that need to be addressed, the idea of a bunch of self-loathing white journalists that want to create news instead of reporting it, making such a big deal about such a non-issue is laughable.
Unfortunately, it's a pattern we see repeated, over and over. It's misdirection. It's what the politicians and people that really are engaged in racism count on.
Screen captures still RULE! Ya feel me?
