I guess Hollywood will soon release the “Gay Native American” movie.
It will have many millions of promotional dollars behind it but nobody will watch it.

Will Rogers was part Cherokee and proud of it.
Even so, I'm pretty sure there were limits when he said "I never met a man I didn't like."

They took the whole Cherokee nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
Took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die
They took the whole Indian nation
Locked us on this reservation
Though I wear a shirt and tie
I’m still part redman deep inside
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die
(Sigh) Almost miss those days of Indian pride from back in the 60’s. Even in “Little Big Man” they made fun of the `backwards man’ who was the opposite of what a brave should be. Oh, and try saying `redman’ nowadays unless you’re buying chawbaccy.
