They should team up with BLM. Those people have nothing to do all day anyway - might as well camp out in the Dakotas with the Indians and bitch about shit that happened 150+ years ago.

"Why haven't you accomplished anything in life?"

"I have been fighting for X,Y,Z...I'm making a sacrifice for Mother Earth, the oppressed and future generations."

I think they have valid concerns.  I guess MLK and his group should have had better things to do.

The elite in this country have often gone to great lengths to have the less fortunate turn against one another. Not that it really takes that much effort to accomplish this. I'm sure if these protests began to seek a common umbrella it would be...greatly discouraged.  It was not the black athletes that scared the teams into changing their anthem. However when a white athlete wanted to protest as well...

Pipeline = Civil Rights Movement

ok

[mtangelsfan]

It is never that simple.  I think this is a culmination of a lot of bad history.

One of the most genuinely racist posts ever on AW.com.

bakunin would be proud.

Do you even know what the word "racist" means? Seriously, without looking it up, give me an answer. (Hint: you are, yet again, wrongfully using the word and have no clue what it means.)

Got it, thank you for setting me straight. Referring to members of BLM as "those people" obviously suggests I believe blacks are inferior to whites. Your logic skills are sharp.

So it's official? BLM is the new tagline for pigeonholing blacks?

No,  just "those people."

When you said "those people," I thought you referring to Native Americans. My mistake.

Why do you think that BLM advocates don't have anything to do all day?

Because they stand on freeways with signs.

The question of racism aside, do you think that the Native Americans involved here are essentially the equivalent of those involved in BLM and how you perceive BLM demonstrators to be?

And with this post, Angelspin reaches a new low.

I think the Sioux here have a legit gripe. The only thing that bugs me is that most any land here could probably be considered ancestral. It just looks bad because whitey got the pipeline moved away from their area.

I want my blanket back too.

Those fucking Indians lost the wars.  They're lucky we give them any land for their alcoholism and casinos.

And even though we've already given it to them, we should probably take it back.

someone help me here, but what's that phrase where you give something to someone and then take it back? shoot, it's right on the tip of my tongue . . .

I believe it is called a treaty.

no, that wasn't it . . .
