At a protest in New York City of a statue of Teddy Roosevelt, a local woman fired back at a college student who told her to “check her f***ing white privilege,” advising him to educate himself on the history of the United States of America.
During the clash with counter-protesters on Sunday, the white-haired woman warned the opponents of the monument to the 26th president that they will “fall so hard they won’t know” what “hit them,” according to video posted on Twitter by Daily Caller reporter Jorge Ventura.
“You are a domestic terrorist group and we will see to it that you fall, and you fall so hard you won’t know what hit you,” the woman said.
That was when the student, wearing an American University shirt, moved toward her and shouted, “Yo, lady. Check your f***ing privilege and get back over there.”

The woman didn’t flinch.
“You got something to say, little boy? You got something to say, little boy? No, you don’t, do you?”
The student said, “Go back there.”
“No, I’ll stand wherever I want. … I can walk wherever I want,” she retorted.

“Learn your history,” she admonished him. “If you learned your history, you wouldn’t be a radical.”
She said of the protesters, they “got a lot of nerve when they got a lot of people.”
The student told the woman and the accompanying counter-protesters, “You’re bigots.”
“Is that the best you got, dolly boy?” she replied. “Is that the best you got, baby boy? Is that the best you got? Go back to school.”
The Daily Caller reporter recorded another video in which Ventura explained to him why she showed up at the protest.
“What they’re doing is trying to erase history,” she said, describing Roosevelt as “one of our greatest presidents ever.”
“It takes my breath away that something as beautiful and as magnificent as that (statue), and Chirlane McCray, the mayor’s wife, deems it unfit,” she said.
“This is not about race anymore, it never really was, this is about taking apart the fabric of America,” she said. “This is all about the fabric of America. They want us to read their narrative; freedom of speech so long as we say what they want us to say. Any kind of freedom at all is all about their narrative, the radical left’s narrative.”
The woman said it shouldn’t be allowed any longer.
“This is America. We stand with all races, all colors, all creeds. People came to this country to seek those freedom, and now, from the inside out, they wanna take them away. It’s not gonna work. We won’t allow it.”
