And people still believe he doesn’t hate America and especially Europeans.

He is ignorant and filled with hate, truly a son of Satan.

Well, all I can say is it is a good thing the uncountable millions of Muslim and Turd World 'refugees' hordes Obama is importing in here aren't bringing with them all that terrible "disease, devastation, and violence" that caused the destruction of the our native inhabitants so it can't happen again, right?

Oh, wait a minute,... what!!??

I am sorry to my American friends for what I want to write about your President. The current American President is a massive piece of shit. Your president is filth. F*ck your president. I loathe this amoeba.

Why apologize? There are those of us here who say/write similar sentiments, if not worse. Thus, *we* are offended not one whit. On the other hand, the residents of *some* areas of this nation might well be (read Ferguson, Missouri and certain sections of Baltimore, Maryland for examples of same). I, for one, care nothing for the opinions and/or sensitivities of such as they, in any case...

I used to have an article about how the Pawnee insulted some Indians allied with the Iroquois. So, the Iroquois sent a war party, crossed from the New York Great Lakes area, way out on the High Plains of Nebraska and killed a bunch of Pawnee.

Then there was the two year raid by the Piegan Blackfoot who raided Durango MEXICO.
Andrew Garcia told how members of the Bannock tribe of the Idaho area went on a war raid so far south they said the people they raided all had big sombreros, black beards, and lived in mud brick houses.

Just like all the African tribes who sold their defeated rivals to slave traders.

MOHAWKS BUY ENGLISH & DUTCH GUNS, ATTACK CANADA & ATLANTIC COAST TRIBES
1640 Mohawks buy guns from the English `The inhabitants of Rensselaerwyck, who numbered at the time as many traders as individuals, noting the avidity with which the Mohawks sought after fire-arms, willingly paying the English twenty beavers for a musket, and from ten to twelve guilders for a pound of gunpowder, were desirous to share so profitable a trade. They commenced, accordingly, to furnish fire-arms to these Indians. The profits which accrued became soon known, and traders from Holland soon introduced large quantities of guns and other munitions of war into the interior. The Mohawks, thus provided with arms for four hundred warriors, swept the country from Canada to the seacoast, levying tribute on surrounding terror-stricken tribes.` 45

But if this is just a bunch of PC whiners and rabble rousers and attention seeking activists, then they should be told to STFU, etc. I think it should be voted on by the tribes.

Do you think that name is offensive to a significant number of Indians in the US?”

Will88, of all the names, Redskins probably started off as the most pejorative. However, over time, even that has lost its sting. Especially the manner in which the Redskins of the NFL use the term, the accompanying logo, and paraphernalia, the term Redskin is not offensive to me at all. It may be to a small number of folks who still suffer discrimination on and around some reservations.

However, it is the libs in the ivory towers of academia that are the biggest bellyachers. They need to shut up. My grandmother who went to a boarding school for Indian girls pulled for every sports team that had an Indian mascot. I remember her saying that it brought pride to us. She said the alternative was “out of sight; out of mind.” I agree 100%.

One aside: she never could understand the bucktoothed Cleveland Indians mascot logo. She said that it didn’t even look like an Indian: “It looks like a Jap.” Just goes to show . . . something about us all, I guess.

***Redskins probably started off as the most pejorative.***

That is because the Indians loved to paint their bodies for war and the most popular paint was RED. Apache Mangas Coloradas got his name (Red Sleeve) from a red shirt he wore. When the shirt deteriorated, he painted his arms red.

Any wonder why the Druids and Scots were called BLUE MEN?
