The armed white guys got off, the peaceful red guys are getting arrested in droves.

I can't even.

Clarification:

Which ones were the criminal trespassers?

Whiteness just keep doing what whiteness do. Power screams over and over that the only thing it respects is armed occupation. Let's get these natives some guns.

I wonder how many FBI informers are there inciting this?

I wonder when you're going to make a fucking point.

The point is that I'm curious about how much of this shit is being stirred by the government. In Oregon it seems a good chunk of it was.

Vilifying white people for being white is quite trendy these days.

And then there's those that vilify everything except white oppression.

Why aren't the pipeline plns show it going through any country clubs or prime farm land?

Put that pipeline through toney suburbs of St. Louis and watch the push back.

I imagine it would be harder for unarmed white guys to get off. Unarmed guys in general probably have a harder time getting off.

Like what?

Probably because the land is too expensive. I'm with the protesters but it's weird how everything boils down to white vs everyone else all the time.

Come on over and support Darrell Castle with me, it'll stop the bitterness you're feeling right now over Hills being in trouble again.

Turtleneck's with Her?

It's Loose's only comeback to the fact that he decided to go all in for Trump. However, I'm not all that bothered by it.

You had me at "armed white guys get off"

I know, right!?!?!?!?!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The entire profile I built of you over time was in serious jepordy.

You may find it interesting that I'm actually not in support of the motivations behind the standing rock protesters. I think the government mostly did its job in the approval of the pipeline, and it's private property. I an however horrified at their treatment. And I think it has everything to do with race. And guns.

That's weird.

I'll offer you a wager. I'll bet that if they stopped breaking the law they would get treated better.

And that is the most typical white response ever.

Are you disputing the truth of it?

Listen, simpleton. If there were white people exercising civil disobedience in the face of what they felt was an unjust situation.... You're damn right I think they'd be treated differently.

You want to narrowly define it as "derp don't break the law and you won't get in trouble" that's just you putting your white blinders on and being willfully ignorant. So basically fuck you if you're going to do that.

White people are pussies. They don't really do the civil disobedience thing.

It's fun being able to generalize white people in a negative way that would destroy you if you inputted any other race into the equation.

There have been 3,300 incidents of leaks in pipelines since 2010. The pipeline is going under the main source of drinking water for ten thousand people. It also is going to go either near by or on a burial ground.

I try to be objective in these things. I get eminent domain shit, and it is important. But I wonder how I'd react and what I'd do if it went under my drinking water source and was pumping that shit through my dads cemetery or near it. Regardless of my skin color I might revert to civil disobedience too.

You can say that again, DWags

Something tells me you'd just move your family or the burial site, though.

Emminent domain never seems to be used in upscale neighborhoods.

You're the only one generalizing white people.

Isn't this also for a for profit company and not a public entity

Government and corporations are interchangeable. The concept of eminent domain is as offensive as the drug war.

Right........ because like I said.... as disgusting as it is upscale neighborhoods tend to be on desirable property and with eminent domain they use property values to determine how much to give the unwilling land owners.

Wags, serious question: have you seen any actual accounts of burial grounds being violated? I've worked on a mess of pipeline projects and there's pretty strict archeological surveys and tribal consultation before grounds is ever broken. I keep hearing this, but I find it difficult to believe.

Eminent domain is not limited to public projects. Eminent domain can be exercised when the project is private development assumed to serve a public purpose. This comes from Kelo v. City of New London (2005) when the Supreme Court upheld eminent domain being used to seize property for a private condominium and hotel project in New London, CT.
