There is no such thing as negatively “appropriating a culture”.
Totally made up. The left doesn’t want non whites to be part of our culture, so they can keep them alienated.
To appropriate means to take something that belongs to someone else for your own use thereby depriving them of it.
You can not appropriate a culture as they do not have owners, only followers.
So the answer is no.
Now buzz off you annoying little crustacean.
Don’t forget about the Super Bowl Champs...KC Chiefs...but they are ok I guess because they have taylor swift.
So what??????
Geez, people just feel the need to be perpetually offended these days, don’t they?
To paraphrase the pharaoh from The Ten Commandments "Let the names of American Indians be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of America. Let the names of American Indians be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time."
Most of the names are there for history or respect. If you don't want that then you will get nothing.
Let's just start calling people like this crazy.
If the "Normal Majority" of fed-up Americans just started actively ridiculing these Leftist bozos, rather than kowtowing to them for fear of being called "racist" or "sexist" or any of the other "ists", we might just save the country.
It's well past time to be what these entitled snowflakes hate so much. It's time to be mean.
Toureg - named after a tribe where men wear the veils.
“Introducing the all-new, 2024 Ford Dindu Nuffin. It’s a steal!”
Off the topic, but Chevrolet made a “Confederate” model...
I suspect it’d be very popular today.
Well, maybe not...
Yes, unfortunately.
“Where’s the Fire, Chief?”
- Mad Mag in the 60s...
If people had stood up to them black kids would still be seeing the modern versions of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben.
But then a lot more would be alive as well if we hadn’t allowed the kooks to hold back police protection.
Some tribes probably don’t deserved to be honored. The worst of the worst were pretty horrific.
This is exactly what’s happening. Pretty soon Native Americans won’t be known or remembered at all.
The names aren’t making fun of Indians - they are Honoring them! And if they don’t want that and manage to banish it, then we won’t remember or mention them at all.
(But the fact is that surveys taken of Native Americans have shown that the great majority of them have taken no offense to the Indian names of sports teams, etc. Again, we have a noisy activist minority trying to speak for the entire Native population.)
We have Apaches helicopters and Tomahawk missiles..............
BULLCRAP! Pontiac was the name of the chief of the Odawa tribe, not the name of the tribe.
If he can't get the basic facts straight, what else is wrong with this article?
The author’s bio says he has a degree in anthropology. I’m guessing not an honors student.
Hmmm. Seems racist. 😆😆😆😆😆
I’d guess most native Americans are happy to have associations with sports teams, automobiles, etc. Those names are designed to promote strength, toughness and endurance.
The objectors are a small group of agitators trying to gain attention sympathy (and a payoff,) and are sought out by the media to promote the narrative.
