| Racism in California. Because of official racist government policies, a black man like Will Smith is not allowed to own a casino in California. He belongs to the wrong race. Neither could anyone of Egyptian, Mexican, Chinese or French heritage. Only the American Indian racial group is allowed by the government to run this type of business. |
Racism - Flush with millions in Indian Casino bribe money, will politicians allow new Indian Casinos off the reservations?
- Politicians up and down the state are now the paid-off lackeys of Indian Casinos.
- Official California government policy is only government approved races are allowed to own a casino. All other races are barred from ownership.
People's Republic of California Governor Jerry Brown will have to decide whether two Indian tribes in remote parts of California can build gambling establishments next to freeways many miles from their reservation lands.
Next door in Nevada all races are allowed to own casinos. While in California only one government approved racial group is allowed ownership.
.
The questions Brown faces put him at the center of a big-money casino fight – a massive lobbying effort in the Capitol that includes some very rich and influential groups reports the Sacramento Bee.
The proposals from the Enterprise Rancheria near Marysville and the North Fork Rancheria near Fresno are part of the growing phenomenon critics describe as off-reservation casinos. But they are unusual because approval is in the hands of the governor under a process that's been used only a few times nationwide.
Most Indian casinos are on either tribal land or land restored to a tribe by the federal government, leaving state politicians out of the equation.
The Enterprise and North Fork proposals are subject to a different bureaucratic process because they don't necessarily fit those criteria – tribal members already have land but want to build casinos somewhere else.

The tug of war comes as Brown is raising money for a November ballot measure that would temporarily raise taxes to plug the state's budget deficit. Gambling tribes, including several that oppose the casino proposals, have already given $728,000 to support Brown's initiative. Construction unions, including several that support the casinos, have given $813,000.

The Madera land tribal members live on – 80 mountainous acres south of Yosemite National Park – is too steep and remote to develop, he said. Lehman said it makes more sense to build a casino along Highway 99 in Madera County on land already slated for development.
The property is owned by Station Casinos, a Las Vegas casino operator whose lobbyist in Sacramento is Darius Anderson, a Democratic fundraiser with strong ties in the Capitol. He has personally contributed $4,000 to support Brown's tax measure.
Farther north in Yuba County, the Enterprise Rancheria wants to build a casino near the Sleep Train Amphitheater and Highways 65 and 70. The land is owned by Gerald Forsythe, an auto racing team owner from Chicago who once hoped to build a automobile racing track on the property in an area zoned for sports and entertainment.

Cheryl Schmit, a Placer County activist who helps local communities oppose Indian casinos, said both the Enterprise and North Fork projects are "clear-cut cases of reservation-shopping."
"You have tribes that have established Indian lands that were rurally located and they've hooked up with gaming investors from out of state … for the sole purpose of the establishment of casinos," she said.

No matter what you say, I still really like California Indian casinos. I think it is the least that we can let them have, given our history of murder and plunder.
Hey "Simon" I love all casinos, but I hate RACIST casino laws that prevent African Americans and Hispanics from owning one.
Save the Bullshit about plunder for the mouth-breathing public that knows jack about shit.
