I come from a people that are pretty much wiped off the face of the earth. The survivors were pretty much ground under heel and forgotten. I consider myself to have a fairly positive outlook on humanity considering. |
I'm perhaps wading into dangerous territory here, but I think it's a point worth making regardless. Native Americans have been treated horribly, and, were it possible, I would want the men responsible to be held accountable. However, that time has long since passed, and I can't help but feel that your disdain is misguided here. This girl has done nothing to harm you, and treating her (and other people who have done nothing) with contempt is only going to perpetuate and widen the divisions we have as a society.
monocle_layton said: I don't want to go on a rant or go off topic, but the beginning of the video clearly shows that they're set out to demoralize an entire protest with 150,000 people just because less than 1% of the people were jackasses. Just look at the description. Their intention was most likely to show this to make it seem like the protest was a hidden attempt to let people do a bunch of stuff against non-protestors. |
Those are some good points, but at the same time, I've seen/heard about FAR more instances of violence, bullying, hate, etc.. from the anti-Trump crword than the Trump crowd. Like a 10-1 ratio. And this is with a mainstream media almost unanimously anti-Trump which has made it abundantly clear that they wish to smear his name under any ciecumstances and make his supporters look bad..
Granted I'm sure there is more degeneracy on the other side that I haven't heard but I can only go by what I see..

BraLoD said: Well, that's really not cool. Protests over here end up in WAY WORSE shit, but that doesn't trying to lit someone's head on fire it's not something to be sad over, 'cause it is. We have actual footage, and that was clearly intentional, so I hope the police does something about it. |
Yup, she needs to get locked up. Even worse, lock up her pantry. 😉
But i thought Liberals were about tolerance and peace :^)???

Dude, hundreds of thousands of people protested Obama at various "tea party" rallies and such over the previous 8 years, and there was NOTHING at any of those protests even remotely close to the violence that has occurred at protests and demonstrations just days into Trump's term in office. We've already had Trump supporters sucker punched and beaten, and plenty of destruction occurred during the anti-Trump protests after the November election. Between the post-election protests back in November and the violence we saw in the streets the day before and during Inauguration Day, there's been more violence at anti-Trump protests these past couple months than during all the anti-Obama rallies in 8 years combined. The only thing more violent in recent memory has been some of the Black Lives Matter riots protests, and again its usually left-wing agitators helping to escalate things and fan the flames at those protests as well. |
Wow, way to prove his point. The whole confirmation bias thing just went completely over your head?

That would be a fair point but the problem is that the time hasn't passed. Dakota Access Pipeline and Keystone XL pipelines will be threatening tribal lands and the drinking water. Never mind the genocide of my race. To this day even on the desolate patches of dirt we were driven to are still being threatened to this very day.
