Kendall, you said:

I recently heard a native American say "He was shaking like a nigger writing a check." How can a man who belongs to an Indian tribe say such a thing? It's bad enough to hear a white person say it, but, an Indian?

Please check out this this thread about David Ahenakew, the former Grand Chief of Canada's Assembly of First Nations. What you heard pales in comparison.
