That followed a shooting at the hotel early Saturday involving two teenagers. Rapid City police spokesman Brendyn Medina said both the victim and the shooting suspect are Native American.

Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Chairman Harold Frazier condemned Uhre's post, calling it racist and discriminatory, and demanded an apology.

“It is foolish to attack a race of people and not all of the issues affecting the society in which we live. This includes racism," Frazier said in a statement. ”The members of the Great Sioux Nation who visit our sacred Black Hills are often subject to this kind of behavior. Those members that choose to live on our treaty territory are often treated as a problem, no matter how we choose to live."

Messages left at the hotel for Uhre and her son Nick Uhre, a manager, were not immediately returned.



South Dakota hotel owner sparks fury after banning Native Americans from staying because she can't tell 'who is a bad Native or a good Native' following shooting spree

Connie Uhre, 76, wrote a now-deleted comment on Facebook on Sunday that she can 'not allow a Native American to enter our business including Cheers'

The owner of the Grand Getaway Hotel in Rapid City also said that she couldn't make a distinction between 'a bad Native or a good Native'

A shooting in one of the hotel's rooms took place at 4:30 a.m. and left a man with life-threatening injuries
Uhre also mistakenly said in her comments that the unidentified victim of the shooting was dead
However, the man was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for his injuries
Quincy Bear Robe, 19, was identified as the main suspect and was arrested on on multiple charges

1. "do to the killing"

all I needed to know... or "no"

2. "McAuthor" foundation

4. she also has the same capitalization issue as Trump

I have zero doubt she worships him.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. Both she and tRump are channeling their racist German ancestry and language. . . . nt

[Happy Hoosier]

14. ??? You might want to clarify that.... NT

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. German nouns are all capitalized. They both have German names. Germany

Germany of the 18th and early 19th century was racist against Jews and non-Germans such as Slavs. tRump's grandfather dodged the German draft of that era and emigrated. Trump's father was a KKK type racist. He and tRump committed racist housing violations, even after agreeing to a consent decree to not do so.

Uhre is a German name, which points to German ancestry. Uhre's tweet is racist.

Frederick Trump (born Friedrich Trump German pronunciation: [fʁi:dʁɪç tʁʊmp]; 14 March 1869 – 30 May 1918) was a German–American barber, businessman, and patriarch of the Trump family.

Born in the village of Kallstadt, in the Kingdom of Bavaria (now in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany), Trump trained as a barber and then immigrated to the United States at the age of 16 and continued his former trade. Several years later, in 1891, he moved to Seattle and began speculating in real estate. Trump then returned to Bavaria and married Elisabeth Christ, the daughter of a former neighbor. As he had purportedly migrated to America in order to evade conscription, the Bavarian Government stripped Trump of his citizenship and permanently banished him following an investigation.

Ancestry is not definitive, but when people show traits of racism and have ancestry from regions that exhibited racism, then it is a suitable metaphor to put the two together, highlighted in both cases by the out-of-place capitalization.

18. I think the likelihood....

That Trump snd this asshat are showing traces of German culture and language is close to zero. I am of German ancestry and value German culture and language. It’s no more innately racist than other European cultures.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Read, I was talking channeling THEIR ancestry. Of course, now Germany similar to other Euro cultures

Perhaps I should have been even more explicit, ultra-explicit, that I wasn't attacking the ancestry of Germans in general or the current practices of living Germans or German descendants.

You are a thinking person, aware, interested in the world. Europe has changed markedly, mostly, but there are still places like Hungary and Russia.

tRump and Uhre are clearly not very aware and don't think much.

In any case, it was a metaphor and analogy, which means it has inherent weaknesses. Further, it was not an attack on you or how you have come about.

I doubt very much that your father was arrested for a KKK rally.
I don't see you capitalizing the way tRump and Uhre do.
I don't see you making racist statements or doing racist things.

Those are all things I pointed out about them. My remarks were specific to the ancestry and current actions of those two individuals. My remarks do not apply to you or to other Germans or others of German ancestry. Most of those people don't say racist things or do racist things.

Both she and tRump are channeling their racist German ancestry and language.

"she and tRump": that's very specific.
"their": that's specific to them.

Many people, most Germans and Europeans, rise above their ancestry and history. That is the default assumption unless there are racist tweets and statements, racist actions, arrests and legal action against racism.

3. No thanks, no visit.

No sweat, was never in consideration of places I'd really like to visit,

[Celerity]

5. she might have worked on the South Dakota state anti-drug slogan campaign a few years back

‘Meth. We’re on It’: South Dakota’s Anti-Meth Campaign Raises Eyebrows

Many saw the slogan as tone-deaf or a failed attempt at cleverness. State officials said it was provocative by design.

21. I still think it is the best damn add campaign since Do it Razor Blades

6. No more Americans in America?

So, European-Americans in South Dakota have never killed anyone?

I can't wait to see the signs: "This is America. No Americans allowed. Europeans only. ID required."

7. They don't even try to hide it anymore

8. Does SD have any anti-discrimination laws?

10. Hope her business fails...

She deserves nothing less.

11. Guessing it may be one of those places that specializes in locals anyway.

If you know what I mean.

[GoCubsGo]

12. I'm betting her hotel TVs only carry Fox"News."

Well, and maybe Newsmarx and OnAN, if the local provider hadn't dropped them yet.

Yikes. Racist and illiterate. If that were the only hotel in town, I'd be looking for a campground.

13. Whereas white people don't kill each other and every white person is good

[MissMillie]

15. but among everyone else

it's just so easy to tell the good eggs from the bad eggs, of course.

17. Is she making a Nazi salute in that photo?

[brooklynite]

19. Of course not.

No sense making more of this than it is.

23. nope
