Old story, but don't think it was posted before. Just unbelievable.

[No name given]

Very.

“It was a very offensive statue, and not only did it delineate me as a Native American, it delineated our women and their role in society,”

Yes, PREGNANT Sacagawea should have portrayed as an ass-kicking boss-girl, leading the expedition. Lewis and Clark should have been portrayed as stupid, lazy, and fat racists.

Once all the Indian statues and names are not used, the Indians will complain about the lack of Indian statues and names.

Also in mny cases, only a small vocal Indian minority like this complains, the larger majority is fine and happy and proud to have recognition and used in a team name for positive, strong attributes.

“It was a very offensive statue, and not only did it delineate me as a Native American, it delineated our women and their role in society,” said Rose Abrahamson, a Native American woman,

I suspect that Rose is dumber than a one-pole travois.

delineate verb

1 : to describe, portray, or set forth with accuracy or in detail

Taking her literally, Rose apparently doesn't want anyone to think of her as a "Native American" or think of her as a woman.

Or is it that Rose doesn't want anyone to think that "Native American" women in general are like Sacajawea. Brave, independent and honorable.

Maybe she drink too much firewater in teepee with Elizabeth Warren?

My ancestry includes Cherokees so joke immunity!!

[Organic Panic]

Liberals hate seeing colored people and Indians. No more Sacagawea statues, no Indian girl on the butter packages. No Aunt Jemimah or Uncle Ben on our tables.

[Repeal The 17th]

Will there be a movement to recall these?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I have a lot of respect for Aunt Jemima (pancakes), Uncle Ben (rice), and Rastus (cream of wheat). I always have. They were all real people with interesting stories, and they all were successful in their lives. By all accounts they were nice people.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

It's a beautiful coin.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

They should donate the statue to the Lewis and Clark Elementary School in Caroline County. That is the also the the county where Secretariat was born.

[Allegra]

Right? Buzz off, Rose. You couldn’t even pass an eight-grade vocabulary test.

Why did anybody respond to that idiot, let alone do her bidding.

[TigersEye]

Probably the only “Native American” in the entire country that had a problem with that statue.

When “Native American” women act like white liberal women isn’t that cultural appropriation? :)

This story is ancient. Outrageous, yes, but sooooooo old.

[Big Red Badger]

Amazingly Stupid people and just a couple at That!

Rose Ann Abrahamson meets with the Charlottesville City Council in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2019 to call for the removal of what she considered an offensive statue of her ancestor Sacajawea, which stood in a public park in the city for more than 100 years. The statue was removed on July 10. Screenshot

The link goes to a long and informative article about her and Sacajawea. It also has a larger photo of Abrahamson.

“ Liberals hate seeing colored people and Indians.”

That’s what it comes down to.
