Native American Tribe Calls Protesters Who Destroyed 9/11 Memorial ‘Disgusting’
15th September 2013
The protesters who uprooted a 9/11 memorial display at a liberal arts college in Vermont claimed they were defending Abenaki tribal lands and taking a stand against U.S. imperialism.
The Abenaki tribe’s response? “Disgusting.”
As indeed it was. My experience has been that in general skraelings are more sensible than their proxenoi among the Young And Stupid.
“We didn’t know anything about this and if we had we certainly wouldn’t have sanctioned it,” he said in a statement to The Addison Independent.
Irrelevant — it is sufficient that a Sensitive White Liberal is offended for you; no need to consult the actual constructive offendee.
The field is tribal land, they claimed, and Native American beliefs prohibit disturbing the earth on hallowed ground.
But Steven said there’s no evidence that the field is an Abenaki burial site. And even if it was, the flags would be a welcome presence.
“Our burial sites honor our warriors and their bravery,” said Stevens. “Putting flags in the earth to honor bravery would not be disrespectful.”
On the Left, fantasy trumps reality every time.
