Jim Parrett at Let Freedom Reign II points out the most offensive hashtag ever invented when he post about Ethical Oil calls Neil Young 'IndianIgnorant'. Jim explains the group
created the racist hashtag #IndianIgnorant for Neil Young. Then they deleted it when they realized their own racism. This is what we're up against.At The Albatross, Ishmael Daro asks
Is #IndianIgnorant supposed to be a comment about Neil Young being ignorant about issues facing First Nations in Canada, as a charitable reading might suggest? Or were they calling aboriginal opponents of the oilsands “ignorant Indians”?Supposedly the former, I guess, according to the group. But actually, its like Dawg says:
Vile racist hashtag of the year: #IndianIgnorant, from your friends at Ethical Oil. I see the oil, but where are those ethics? #cdnpoli
