Cornsilk there is nothing to wonder. We both know that none of those mentioned in your post turned away assistance. Maybe you should go back and read my post. Freedmen don't have a problem with anyone assisting us with our cause. You have been of great assistance to the Cherokee Freedmen. The same stance you take on this board, you've also done on Indianz.com, conferences, and spoken outright to the tribe. KHAOTIX does not have a problem with dedication or assistance. I see where you were trying to go with the analogy but it doesn't fit the bill for this situation. I speak against those who play both hands. Regardless of the cause I have no respect for ANYONE who says one thing but corresponding action says something different!
