Hell, as a “human being” I’m offended!

Watching the CTV News yesterday I was shocked to hear a prominent native-Canadian leader speak these words:

“There’s only two ways to deal with the white man. You either pick up a gun, or you stand between him and his money.”

– Chief Terrance Nelson, Roseau River First Nation

I thought I’d do some research to find out a bit more about this angry man, and sure enough it appears he has a history of making racist remarks. A couple of years ago, in an open letter commenting on the David Ahenakew Holocaust denial incident Nelson wrote:

“As I stated from the beginning, I will publicly condemn David Ahenakew when the Jews start confronting and condemning some of their own people who spread hatred against my people. Is David Asper’s comment “Bring it on” in regards to the suit against him supported by the Jewish people in general and by Jewish organizations?”
