So how is Trump's Pocahontas remark racist?

[BluesLegend]

See, that is clever !

Now what if she wa Asian? Indian ? What would trump use ?

Trump didn't invent the Fuaxcahontas sobriquet. The voters of Massachusetts did that. Take it up with them.

Actually the Scott Brown campaign did that. The voters of Massachusetts rejected it and elected her. Take it up with them.

The Brown campaign didn't make it up. They didn't even use it in their campaign, but the people of Massachusetts sure ridiculed her about it.

The fact that Warren won only shows what morons the people of Massachusetts are.

Brown is an idiot . He won a special election vs the worst campaigner ever . Liz has been way better than that dolt. He even "moved" to New Hampshire to make another loser run. How sad.

The people of Massachusetts are the idiots.

Half the people in Boston are drunk most days.

 

[Pogo]

And who might that be?

This guy?

I don't know who that is.

Was he claiming to be Native American?
.

That's Calvin Coolidge. Far as I now he was not.

>> Advisers warned Coolidge, who wore the headdress while being named an honorary chief in Deadwood, South Dakota, that he would look funny. “Well it’s good for people to laugh, isn’t it?” Coolidge replied. <<​

Well, if he were pretending to be native American for some kind of gain and was not, then yes.

If the Native Americans had him put that stuff on as part of some kind of ceremony, then no.

Pretty easy answer.
.

Bingo!
Thanks. You're with us.

And just FTR I agree with Coolidge. Ain't nuttin' wrong with dress-up, and nobody ever did a better deadpan.

For the record, I said "insulting", not "racist".

And while we're on that topic, a "racial" comment is not the same as a "racist" comment.

Indeed it is not.
That's why I immediately called out the OP for a strawman.
He ran away. In heap big hurry.

 

[Pogo]

Trump has carelessly blurted out myriad ridiculous, insulting and embarrassing things, really quite remarkable in their volume, variety and density, but I don't remember him making an actual racist comment.

The closest he came was the "some illegal alien Mexicans are rapists" blurt, but unfortunately, that's true. It was a racial comment, not a racist comment.

Even that doesn't count, since "Mexican" isn't a race, nor did he imply they were doing it for reasons OF race.

That's leaving aside that Mexico doesn't "send" people, that a significant number of border-crossers are from other places using Mexico because that's where the border is, and that most illegal immigration results from overstayed visas, not from Mexican border crossing. But that's at least three other topics. All they have in common is appeal to ignorance.

It should be fakahontas. This is another attack going nowhere. Everyone knows she lied.

Really? Can you prove it?

The Pinocchio Test
Brown said that Warren “checked the box claiming she was Native American” when she applied to Harvard and Penn, suggesting the Democratic candidate somehow gained an unfair advantage because of an iffy ethnic background. But there is no proof that she ever marked a form to tell the schools about her heritage, nor is there any public evidence that the universities knew about her lineage before hiring her.

More: Did Elizabeth Warren check the Native American box when she ‘applied’ to Harvard and Penn?

You are dead wrong. She indeed indicated an American Indian heritage when she completed her bio information atbher last two academic postings.

“I think it’s wonderful because the Indians can now partake in the future of the country… Her whole life was based on a fraud. She got into Harvard and all that because she said she was a minority.”

**** Liz Warren, she a ******* disgrace.

Enter the other mythologist who's already lost this case in the past, here to expect different results one more time.

You have quotes around your quote, Frank. Got a source for it?

She has NO Indian ancestors.

NONE

They're all white on her mother's side, her supposed "Cherokee" side

She's a liar and a lunatic for believing her own bullshit

Fine --- now PROVE that.

I'm Finnish/Liberian myself. Prove I'm "lying".

I've posted her genealogy countless times, she has no Indian ancestors, they're all white.

She's done

Fade to black

Trump’s 'Pocahontas' Attack Leaves Republicans Squirming... Again

Republicans who chuckled at Fauxcahontas jokes are suddenly aghast at Trump - Hot Air

The title of this Washington Post piece from yesterday really tells you the whole story:Trump’s ‘Pocahontas’ attack leaves fellow Republicans squirming (again).

Please. Spare me.

The “Pocahontas” line spurred chatter at former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s ideas summit Friday in Park City, Utah, where some attendees said they were aghast at Trump’s many race-based lines of attack.

Stuart Stevens — the chief strategist on Romney’s 2012 presidential bid, who, like Romney, has vowed not to vote for Trump — said the candidate’s use of “Pocahontas” to attack Warren was both racist and inappropriate…

“This is a sick guy, and Americans are not longing for a president who’s going to go out and use ethnic slurs against people,” he said. “It’s amusing in the same way telling dirty jokes around a frat house can get laughs, but most people grow out of that. It’s childish.”​

This is the latest flavor of the day for the Democrats and, as usual, they are being mimicked (and quoted) by the #NeverTrump forces. When it comes from Democrats I can simply roll my eyes yet again and skip over the story in question. After all, cultural outrage – usually fauxrage – over racial, gender or sexual orientation lines are their bread and butter. But the Republicans still bitter over Trump’s primary victories should tread a bit more carefully.

The beauty of this is that neither Trump nor his supporters give a **** about the hurt feelings of Lizzy Cheekbones or progressives

See how the far left still believes that Warren is Indian..

Not surprising since they also still believe socialism can work.

Not an Indian anywhere the the Warren family tree. In fact, the ancestor she claimed to be Indian was identified as a white man who SHOT AN INDIAN.

Bam! Last Nail in the Coffin on that Old Story!


Elizabeth Warren is the granddaughter of Hannie Crawford, daughter of John H. Crawford. Warren says the Crawfords were Cherokee.

According to the Boston Globe,
"Rosco Crawford, Hannie Crawford’s brother, told (his granddaughter) that as a young boy living in the Creek Nation of Indian Territory, the Indians were “pretty mean.” Once, when a Creek was hitting Crawford’s younger brother, their father shot and wounded the Indian, according to her biography, on file at California State University at Fullerton."
The story Hannie's brother, Rosco, told his granddaughter is true.


Muskogee Times Democrat; Muskogee, Oklahoma; August 13, 1906, p.1.

Muskogee Times Democrat; Muskogee, Oklahoma; August 17, 1906; p.4.

Why is this significant? Because it refers to John H. Crawford as a white man.

Oh ******* bullshit, Frank. You'd actualy have us believe one Indian is incapable of shooting another Indian? And you're planting your flag on an adjective from a newspaper clipping of 1906? Pretty damn desperate, doncha think?

Again, Liz Warren's siblings already corroborated hearing the same stories. There ain't a damn thing you can do about that. And we did all of this before.

The story Hannie's brother, Rosco, told his granddaughter is true.

Again, absolute ******* bullshit. You ain't the Arbiter deciding which family folklore you find convenient and therefore, "true" and which you'd rather not hear, and therefore "a lie". That's ******* stupid.

They're used to scream about being offended until they get an apology. Not getting one is what makes them even more offended and driving them nutz.
