I don’t have any idea why the name of Pocahontas is regarded a slur! It never has been seen as such in history. Why now? A stupid question, right?
iv seen pictures of this code talkers wearing matching Washington Redskins jackets, no kidding.
I’m sure that they couldn’t care less.
You ask any Millennial and they will tell you quick that Sacagawea was the one who really opened up the Western United States rather than those two inept white boys, Lewis and Clark.
Pocahontas also has a near divine status in their eyes. And it was Harriet Tubman who freed the slaves.
Pocahontas is not a slur. It originally, regarding Warren, was fauxahontas...for a while before Trum, actually. Trump just said pocahontas instead playing off of that.
The truth is that native Americans don’t like pretend Indians. The Cherokee joke about half the nation claiming cherokee blood. They’re really not interested unless you’re in a tribal registry.
