Standing Rock Protesters

Yeah.  I grew up with 1/2 white 1/2 native 1/2 whatever else in Minnesota/North Dakota.  My family's homestead lies upon grounds where a trading trail used to be which now mirrors highway 94.         We have artifacts, bones, pottery, arrowheads, and a whole slew of other historical items incase anybody is interested.  Now suddenly everybody is interested.

This is ground zero for whites vs. native americans.  It has been for the last 150  years.  I'm a product of that energy.  

Here's what is pissing me off.  We now have every unemployed loser "protesting" the pipelines.  Really?  Would they even care if this were not a fad on Facebook?  How did they get to North Dakota?  Did they ride a horse or walk?  Of course not.  They DROVE a car and FLEW in an airplane from some bored, monied sponsor on a Go Fund Me begathon who needed a tax write off to get there.  Sorry, but getting to south of Bismarck ND takes the very OIL resources they are protesting.  

So what did the city slicker protesters trucked in from California do when they got there?  Chant a few things?  Smoke from the communal pipe?  Ok... they showed up.  They wore feathers and danced around the fire.  They ate BiSON (not buffalo).  Oh no,  forget that.  they did not eat bison.  They are organic GMO free vegetarians.  They don't even know the difference between bison and buffalo.... but there they are... protesting.....They got cold and tired of sleeping out on the windy prarie in late fall.  They did not get on TV....  They went home.  What did they accomplish?  They have no real committment to the area nor the tribe and did not even know where North Dakota was on a map until it was "cool" to do so.  

Fuck off, fake protesters.  You want so show your support?  Live in a tipi without running water nor electricity for more than a weekend.    Hunt and gather your for your food like the natives did.  I guarantee you will not find any buffalo.  Never mind... you don't know the difference between buffalo and bison, anyway.  AND......  Winter is coming.
