One of the most frustrating things working with the adolescent Native population was them talking about Native Pride but then doing nothing to honor the customs. To be fair, I worked with the at-risk kids.

But the amount of alcoholism, drugs, obesity, and sexual abuse was just so sad.

I'd challenge them with it. What are you doing to bring pride to your people? What are you doing that would make your ancestors proud? Because drinking 40s and doing drugs isn't pride.

To be fair, there isn't a damn thing to do on the reservation out here. Some of it is close to Phoenix but further out there are no parks, no businesses, no community centers. It's a vicious cycle.

I feel like people are trying to jump on this guy because he's Republican. At least he's answering questions. People just don't like his answers.

Not OP but I work in the same area. It happens all the time. Mostly with homeless people. That sentence sucks, actually. I'm not saying there aren't homeless people that need help but rather the population of people that don't need to be hospitalized tend to be homeless people looking for a place to stay. They know the system so they are able to say the right things that force us to keep them. What sucks is that these stays cost taxpayers about a grand a day.

Dicaprio isn't a black woman though. How about Precious instead?
