Like many in other cultures, they have assimilated the values of a social power which no longer forces them to live, act or believe in this manner without their tacit approval.

And they give it.

That's not -- and this goes for MANY minorities - the fault of the white man, it's internal.

"Still going on?"

That's because it's how the animals want to live. Humans would get a job...
Well wahdaya know, Zeke is an "Uncle Tomahawk."
