Tension is brewing within the Dakota Access protest as complaints grow about outside activists trashing the camps, mooching off donations, and treating the anti-pipeline demonstration like a Burning Man-style festival for hippies.
“Need to get something off my chest that I witnessed and found very disturbing in my brief time there that I believe many others have started to speak up about as well. White people colonizing the camps,” said Alicia Smith on Facebook.
“They are coming in, taking food, clothing etc and occupying space without any desire to participate in camp maintenance and without respect of tribal protocols,” she said. “These people are treating it like it is Burning Man or The Rainbow Gathering and I even witnessed several wandering in and out of camps comparing it to those festivals.”
Her Nov. 14 post, now making the rounds on social media, said outsiders are “literally subsisting entirely off the generosity of native people (AND YOUR DONATIONS if you have been donating) who are fighting to protect their water just because they can.”
A local deputy who asked to remain anonymous told WDAY-AM’s Rob Port that most of the protesters are white, and that some have used racial slurs against black, Hispanic and Native American officers.

What do they expect? That’s what hippies do.
Their water looks like it’s going to be just fine. This is not the EPA that is going to be putting this pipeline up.
What? Do you mean that none of the BLM showed up there?
Congratulations Dakotas, you now know what we knew all along. The left does not care about the people that they pretend to help but only uses them.
At least they aren't those dangerous Tea Partiers!
Since when does the color of hippies matter?
>>Have to admit, if I were in my 20’s again, I’d probably be there “protesting” just to score easy hippie chicks! <<
And chicks are so much easier now.
I remember I took Modern Dance in college just so I could be in a class with ALL women in leotards! Bliss, baby! (also an easy A).
Well, we don’t like them either. Act brave and tell them to get lost!
All these aging hippy types will go home after a few days, and boast about it to their friends, and put up endless rants on Facebook about the evil White people violating Dakota land by wanting to build a pipeline.
To quote Cheap Trick, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Stupid White People.
General Winter will take care of this situation very shortly.
Liberals! What are ya gonna do?
I have to laugh, but I think of this as a "white problem."
Seriously -- how many blacks have ever complained, "My son is a hippie"?
Give it a month and it will go from Burning Man to Frozen Nuts.
And if I was 20 again , l would be friendly to the guys with the most elaborate camping set up .
Eric Cartman and a Slayer CD would take care of the problem. LOL!
Leave it to libtards to be pissed of about the color of,their own protestors.
