I’m a native American. I was born in Canarsie, Brooklyn. Folks moved to Washington state when I was a baby. If you’re born here, you’re a native here ... don’t care what the department of the Interior says ...

Kinda hard to believe that these tissue-paper-skinned wretches are the descendants of the warriors who defeated Custer.

You know what?

Everybody needs to grow the h*ll up!

I’m part Seminole, and I’m sick of the “Native Americans object to...”, “Native Americans are angered by..”

Like it or not Custer is part of History, you know that stuff that they keep changing to fit whatever special interest group wants changed.

Get a d*mn life and quit complaining.

Rant over.

“Custer didn't kill Indians or Natives, he killed relatives.”

And the indians killed what?

White invaders and enemies; never relatives?

I suppose that makes sense.

This continuing whining is tedious. The glorification of savages, or rather modern wannabe savages, in their little clown outfits and fictional myths about a glorious past, steadfastly grasping their victim status and delusions about their golden age, studiously avoiding the modern world and its burdens, like real work.

I am so depressed and feeling guilty I must now go do penance and read more about their history, their major intellectual leaps, their literature, their treatises on medicine, celestial mechanics, philosophy, mathematics and their contribution to the industrial revolution and the atomic age.

Wait, they never even got to the wheel or even an alphabet... never mind.

So they feel entitled to dictate what toys are acceptable.

*yawn*

But in all fairness, to complete my view of indians generally, I should add that I have probably met hundreds of indians whom I respect and admire, perhaps even look up to, but, alas, they joined the modern world excelling like many non-indians, quietly going about their existence without hysteria or resentment, and became invisible. Just like other Americans.

Please note that, rather than the appropriate Olive Drab, the toy motorcycle in question is WWII German Panzer Gray in color.

Clearly there are subtle Hitler/Nazi references being made here as well. Better call in the ADL.

Silliness. Custer didn't hate his Native American opponents and they didn't hate him, the "Son of the Morning Star." He opposed the relocation program that he was at the Little Bighorn to enforce in Congressional testimony and nearly lost his command for it. He wasn't out there to "destroy" anyone, but to force them to reservation land. And they were out there to meet to figure out what to do about the forced relocation policy.

He ran into several thousand of the finest light cavalry on the planet at the time under superbly skilled leaders such as Crazy Horse and White Bull, was outnumbered, outgunned, outmaneuvered, and outfought. Why not just let it be at that?
