Excellent!!! These people need to remember that our Natives also have rights to fair and just treatment. These people are so used to living that HATE, their hearts are made up of salt.
Inappropriate? Alert Us!TRUTH HAS TO BE SPOKEN TO JUSTICE! As racism rears it's ugly head in Eagle butte, south dakota S.D is a Alabama State as Blacks faced racism in the 1960's
Inappropriate? Alert Us!If its the same owner , years ago he accused me of stealing a tire.. I was just passing through, had said I did it a few days earlier...
Inappropriate? Alert Us!We as a Tribe (CRST) are now fighting racism with racism. To stage a protest on a business based on the race of the owner makes us no better. If this man were native would we be doing the same? The tribe has sex offenders on the payroll.Good Video
Inappropriate? Alert Us!It's about time - this "man" if you can call him that has reportedly has done other abusive and violent things and all to our Native people including the elderly and children. He will NOT get a tribal business license.
Inappropriate? Alert Us!If people hate Indian & continue to work in the store, they should be removed. Anyway, discrimination against Indians is NOT acceptable. It's illegal since anti-discrimination laws are already in effect. These laws should have teeth.
Inappropriate? Alert Us!The race of the business owner is a factor simply because the owner made it a factor by discriminating against indians, probably because he feels a sense or racial superiority. If the customers were white would he discrimate against them? I doubt it
Inappropriate? Alert Us!This issue has been a challenge for Native Americans in Indian Country. We have people who work for Native American Indian Communities, who are racial. They discriminate, and speak with a fork tongue.
Inappropriate? Alert Us!Don't you hate people that are racial, and open a business on or near a rez, just because they know that they will make money!! I sure hope this man gets what is coming to him, its about time Native Americans stick together!!
Inappropriate? Alert Us!
