Perhaps i was unclear. The quote in question reads:
ReplyDeleteCirculating flyers with a purported KKK connection urging Caledonia residents to protest the native blockade is not helpful. No matter how one tries to soft-peddle it, it's also not helpful to see masked men in military-type camouflage behind the native barricades, led by a well-known native warrior.
What i found objectionable was that this was basically saying "settlers bad for KKK leaflet, but natives just as bad because of warrior involvement", as if these were two somehow equivalent wrongs.
