RAPID CITY, South Dakota — Racist comments by a local business owner brought quick responses from local Native Americans, to local business owners and all the way from the Governor’s office.
First on social media, with the comment section being livid, but also when her note was shared, more responses were being posted. Likewise when the news dropped, folks within the businesses directly affected, would respond.
Perkins’ Restaurant staff reached out to the Native Sun News, letting us know, there are Native American workers there, including the cooks, and they heartily disagree with this woman’s perspective on Natives. Alex, who works there was shown a copy of the story, and said “This isn’t what we stand for.”
Likewise, as the day progressed, it was learned workers from both the hotel and the Cheers the bar, walked away from their jobs.
