Debate on "Dust my Broom"

The open debate on the Caledonia "situation" is really something to read. And this guy really has something to say. He is (or claims, you can never be to careful online... but I believe him) to be a Native who's opposed to the blockade... and is sick and tired of the status quo.

So am I. When I said months ago that I wanted to be an MP, Native issues were one area that I wanted to help change and make right. (How? I don't have a clue...)

Here's a portion of his response to another poster...

"I am not free from being criticized, nor do I expect, or want, to be.

Dawg: Can I ask how you came to the conclusion that my attempt to see the protest in a different light, critique the obvious contradictions and hypocrisies, demand more from my people in the way of logic and reason, put forward the notion that this is an exercise in windmill-tilting, a pyrrhic victory (If the Mohawks win) that means nothing outside of a symbolic raised fist to put on t-shirts and posters, that getting the land back will do nothing to ease the national disgrace that we have allowed ourselves to enter into, and that this hollow victory comes at the price of even more non-Ab resentment and intolerance, and, in the end, at its most basic, simply standing up for my belief in law and order... can you explain to me how my post is all about 'hatred and contempt for Native people'?

I ask questions and point out contradictions. When did that become hatred and contempt? Yes, I also have my beliefs — in law and order, in the absurdity and irrelevency of land claims and treaties. I don’t deny that. But how much of those beliefs have come into play vs simple critiquing and deconstruction? Do you not agree that the messages being sent out by Mohawks and their supporters are just as biased and falisfied as they claim the MSM ones to be regarding them? Since no one else is taking the disinformation on, why don’t I?"

Dude, whoever you are, you've got my vote.
