Not so much for this 41 day armed occupation of Federal property.
In fact you are treated very differently throughout the process.

(1,000 posts)White America should be ashamed tonight.
More proof, if your skin is brown, you are more likely than not to suffer at the hands of local police and even the National Guard will be called in to put you in your place.
If your white, with guns, all is forgiven. This madness must stop.
And Kapernick is demonized for taking a knee!
I feel sorrow and anger tonight.

(28,136 posts)What about the damage they did to the Refuge plus all the manpower to police the situation for 41 days?

The bundy brigade is working FOR the oil nazis.
Race does play a major part in the differing treatment. But koch repug birchers are in favor of the pipeline, and in favor of removing Federal control of federal lands. Notice how the gov responds in both cases. (Not our Exec branch. The compliant "government" here is state repugs, congressional repugs, career civil servant repugs.)
