David Ahenakew can blame the media, a racist judiciary and a vast Jewish conspiracy all he wants, but simply put he authored and spoke the words that have caused him his current distress. No one forced him utter blatantly racist comments and thus no one should feel any sympathy for his fate with the judiciary and the court of public opinion.
Rather than appear contrite and look for a way to make amends, Mr. Ahenakew has instead chosen to wrap himself in the blanket of persecution himself. Suggesting that it's racism that is at the heart of his troubles. An approach that does a disservice to all first nation's people that have suffered at the hands of racists.
Mr. Ahenakew needs to look in a mirror and take stock of his past comments and as a service to himself he should refrain from making any more public pronouncements.
