Will A Native American Ever Become President

[this was a recently asked question. to explain the last line, one person treated the Trail of Tears as if it were a funny part of history.]

It's a statistical improbability. Considering the way the US government has treated them, there would probably be some worry that he or she would want to "take it back" or at least be digging up every old treaty the government ever broke and making sure they were finally executed correctly.

More likely, the only way would be if a party picked one and threw their money behind him. It takes a lot of marketing (look at obama and clintons spending) to make a dent in the american pupulus. Of course everybody thinks they are made of money becuase of the casinos. However, they might not want to throw their money into a system that abused their people in a rather calculated manner.

To anybody that thinks the Trail of Tears is a joking matter, **** off. Stop for a minute and imagine your great grandfather on it next time...
