I dont think weve written here yet about the Bundy Ranch standoff, mostly because we didnt have enough information about the situation to make a judgment about what really was going on. And I didnt have enough time to figure it all out.
Was it, as some portrayed, a heroic struggle against an overbearing and overly aggressive federal government (in which case we might have taken the side of the underdog) or, as Harry Reid has portrayed it, a bunch of domestic terrorists looking for a shoot up? Or somewhere in between?
Which gets me to the title of this post, What if Bundy Ranch Were Owned by a Bunch of Black People?

First of all, it would never happen. There’s a whole lotta WORK connected to ranching and we all know where that would go.
Then again, black people DID have experience “working” back when they were “slaves”. (That is not racist, only fact)

Why would we support those who don’t support us? Most black writers, black apologist and most blacks themselves take the position of what would whites do for us? It’s always a one way street with them. How many blacks came out in support of the Bundy’s?

I would very much like the fed gov., in its proper role of eliminating domestic terrorists, move into many American cities and take out the Black Klan. That will never happen as long as libs control the government.

Don’t even think that.. the Imaginary Victims Industry will pester Congress to get recompense on the basis that ranches are owned by black people and that one certainly could have been one.. so pay up, America!

OR what if was "Native Americans" ???
Anybody remember the Oka Crisis ????
The crisis developed from a local dispute between the town of Oka and the Mohawk community of Kanesatake. The town of Oka was developing plans to expand a golf course and residential development onto land which had traditionally been used by the Mohawk. It included pineland and a burial ground, marked by standing tombstones of their ancestors.

The situation reminds me of Robin Hood.
Federal land = The King’s Forest
Reid = The Sheriff of Nottingham
Bundy and supporters = Robin Hood and his Merry Men

The greater majority of true cowboys were black and very effective at their jobs.By the early 1900s, there were a lot of Indians who were Cowboys as well. (It was a way off the res, and still in the saddle.) It takes a special type of person to do the job, and there are darned few working cowboys left. I have had the privilege of knowing a few, and most are gone now.

Thanks - those are GREAT! :)
This one I designed and donated to the Bundy Family. They are now offering it for sale on their zazzle site. They won't make a fortune from it, but it is a way I thought I could help.

Yes they were and the didn’t “take’ from the rest of us, they worked for what they got. You made my point very clearly. Thank You, and I hope you had a Happy Easter.

I'm not certain about the reference in your response but my post was meant to be a little sarcasm -- but based upon the USDA Pigford settlement.

Also in fact there's been a lucrative victim's industry for decades; to wit, Sharpton, Jackson, the NAACP, "immigrant rights" are examples.

Wow! Talk about yours racial agenda propaganda. The 'writer', starts out by asking the appropriate question as to what this entire episode might be actually be about and then makes the quantum leap to ask what would have happened if the Bundys were black.
Was it aliens?
It was aliens.
It's a good thing that journalists are going to be licensed...
