When I first read about this I thought, the ignorance it burns and all of the ironies, but of course my first reaction to a news story is not always correct and on further reflection, that is giving these racist imperialists a get out of goal free card. After all if they are that stupid, they cannot be held properly accountable. In fact, they knew exactly what they were saying. This is deliberate. This is in your face racist imperialism. They are foul. Their belief in their white supremacy is as out of control as it is ridiculous... this is the 'master' race? My arse.
Going to hazard a guess that these racist nasty fellows who shouted at First Nation protesters to go back where they came from can probably trace his American lineage back to the late 19th or early 20th Centuries when peasants from across Europe came to find a new life in America, but he has the white supremacist nerve to be blatant in his racist imperialism. White racist male privileged supremacy at its most toxic.

citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation, and who was arrested at the protest. Christ.

"Hey, Dickwad, where they are standing IS where they came from.
That picture you have in your brain of "Indians" standing on the shore while "Pilgrims" were rowing in from their ship - do you think they were standing there awaiting their latest shipment of beads from Amazon?"
MORANS!!!!!!!
