That country belongs to the Red man, the American Indian… It's actually a shame to be a so-called American, because everybody living there is a usurper, an invader taking part in this crime, which is to rob the land, rob the country and kill all the American Indians.”

— Bobby Fischer

They had no right to a country merely because they were born here and then acted like savages. The white man did not conquer this country…”
