LolYou do realize that the Pineridge Indian reservation out on 44 is only an hour and a half drive from Rapid City. That is socialist central.... the federal government.Lol
Have you ever lived in either South Dakota or Oklahoma? I have. Both are depression states who are losing businesses to their next door neighbors. In South Dakota, the 3rd largest Town in the State is the off base Military Housing for Ellsworh AFB. The 2nd largest is Rapid City (nicknamed Rancid City for obvious reasons) with a population of less than 50,000. Both of these states would do anything to attract people to move there. The problem is, once they do move there, they look around and make tracks right back out of there. Both of these are listed as the Reddest States of them all. Both of these have an extreme rate of poverty. They are probably, per capita, the worst welfare states in the Union. You should be ashamed using these two bozo lands as an excuse for anything other than how not to do anything. Look around. I am sure there is at least one Red Stated that might make a good example. Stop being lazy.
You obviously have never been to rapid city, it’s booming.
The reason why poverty is showing up is because of the fucking Indian reservations you fucking moron...
I lived there for 3 years until I figured a way to get the hell out of there. I was stationed at Ellsworth but played music in the clubs all over the 5 state region. Your idea of booming is businesses closing down. Remember Vetter Faring? It used to be the largest employer in Rapid City until it shut down. Rancid City is a welfare town. The City even owns the Cement Factory. So you like a Socialist City as long as it's one of your own.
Now, stop making shit up.
Actually people do pretty good in Rapid City, it’s the Indian reservations that make the place look bad.
LOL, I have a small bit of Cherokee (like every person born west of the Mississippi). I was warmly accepted by the Lakota. In fact, I played a gig in one of the nicer clubs in an all Indian Band. I have light skin, blue eyes and look a lot like the traditional Irishman. Of course, at the time, the Chief of the Cherokee Nation had blue eyes and was blond. I met some nice folks. But I also met some really poor bigots as well. I was dating a really pretty Lakota Girl (in her early 20s). 5 white rednecks threatened me that I should not do this. I informed them that my 1911 held 7 shot including the one in the chamber so I could afford to miss twice. They didn't like the game anymore and went away. I see you as one of those bigots.
But you have to understand, I spent my first 19 years around the Navajo and Utes. I understand different cultures. Hell, I love to visit different cultures. The Sioux was just another culture that you don't understand so you want to bad mouth it. Get over yourself and back under that friggin rock.
Well, I am 100% Oglala Sioux and lived on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation till I was 17.
The Pineridge Indian reservation is a 100% federal government controlled socialist environment… So yes it sucks ass
