When the Internet gets worked up you can bet there will be some entertaining back and forth yelling amongst its users.
Take this recent photo that was posted both on Facebook and Twitter by some self-proclaimed conservatives who added their own captions.
They break into our country, steal resources, then do shit like this. And libs still wonder why we are pushing for immigration controls… pic.twitter.com/Y5ZSv9jkgo

Now this photo got some conservatives riled up, but most people pointed out that this family looked Native, not from another country.
When your bigotry causes you to confuse Native Americans with those from Mexico and Central America…

And Twitter definitely went in on this guy, using his exact words but flipping the image.

Grumpy Young Man says:
People act like Indiands lived in a perfect peaceful utopia before Europeans arrived. Wrong… they killed each other all the time and fought over land. Europeans should up more equipped and when they should up, natives lost. Flash forward and everyone is boo hoo and now rewriting history to make Americans the savages. You fight, you loose.

To my fellow sue members thiers a war a brewing in this country ! We must take the sideline approach for survival as a people’culture,race , survival, for family! For my cousins at fort Yates please keep low key! For survival! Last yr u made an impact it affected us family members financially off the Rez even if we’re not registered an adopted to my cousins we must take a neutral factor for survival ! It is what it is ! I’ve realize the action of family members affect all ! Ure assume but damn !! Let’s not make this fight are fight stay neutral ! Like switzerland a neutral zone !
Malcolm J. Brenner says:
As somebody who lived among and reported on Native Americans for a decade, I don’t blame them. Our country’s policy, from 1492 to the Eisenhower administration, was one of genocide towards Native Americans and their way of life.
