We need to get rid of casinos with indian names like that one near Laguna Summit on interstate 8. For that matter, isn’t doesn’t the name Laguna also refer to a local tribe the spanish obliterated?

Being offended by proxy by what you imagine should and therefore must offend others of some particular description is a huge feature of being Woke.

Next will be to remove all references to saints and Catholicism in the cities of California and rename them.

Which is pretty much all of them.

Gruesome was supposed to come to Texas to teach us Texans how to be “americans” with a small “a”. I haven’t seen anything about him showing up. Maybe he thought that Austin, the bastion of gay, liberal Texans wasn’t a safe place to spew his Cauliphonya garbage.

They won’t laugh Beto off of the stage in Austin.

I don’t see why Gruesome would think he would not be welcomed there.

Just erasing native Americans. That’s the real purpose, not to stop insulting them, only to erase them. No special groups liberals cannot control allowed.

Had to happen. Woke will infect everything. The novel “1984” has got nothing on modern America.

And governments will profit even more. This is a feature, not a bug.

I think they should ban “warrior” as well. No more Golden State Warriors. I mean, Indians were warriors.

Also, the movie Braveheard must be banished, as Indians were also called Braves.

Keep rolling. Burn it all down, man.

The word is a derogatory term for vagina, sort of of like the P or C word. Would you be ok with locations in your state being called P**** or C*** Valley? I know I wouldn’t.

When did that come about? I’m 70 and I never heard that before just a year or two ago when they started this renaming BS.

Just recently, the feds renamed it “Olympic Valley”, along with hundreds of other place names across the U.S., and some of them looked unpronounceable.

if I am not mistaken, some of the earliest mythology concerned the people who grew stuff vs those who had free range herds.

I think there was a murder or something?

anyway later there were free ranging migrant herds who decimated long standing civilizations, destroyed the records of history etc.

My husband is an American Indian, and he informed me of it. Growing up, I used the word to describe my Grandmother’s heritage, not knowing any better.
