Barrett Dahl, an autistic Native American from Oklahoma, was visiting Washington, D.C., in October of last year on a school trip. Being in Washington inspired Dahl to wear a sweater featuring the logo of the Washington Redskins. Mr. Dahl says he wore the sweater because it gave him a sense of cultural pride.
Not surprisingly, not everyone sees it quite that way -- including a White House advisor named William Mendoza, who confronted Dahl at a Pow Wow, called him a "weetard," spit on him, and then savagely beat him.
======================================
Mendoza is the Executive Director of the White House Initiative of American Indian and Alaska Native Education, and an outspoken opponent of using Native American images as mascots.
Mendoza’s attorney, Mark Zaid, said Mendoza was traveling and unable to do an interview. Zaid said Mendoza approached Dahl on bended knee and asked him about his shirt that he said had the words "INJUN PIMP" on the back.
According to Mendoza's notes Zaid provided, Dahl replied by saying "I don't have to (expletive) explain (expletive) to you. If you want to step outside and take this outside, I'd be happy to explain it to you."
Dahl counters his shirt said "INJUN PLAYER" and Mendoza was the aggressor.
“Where are you from? You’re so stupid and uneducated. You don’t understand Redskins is offensive? And I tell him I’m from Oklahoma as I’m very proud to be and that’s when he spits on me,” said Dahl.
The two sides also disagree on who threw the first punch. Dahl said he tried to leave and get on an escalator and was attacked from behind.
This is what Mendoza wrote in his notes:
“Upon exiting the escalator, I ran into Barry again, coming around the corner. I reached out my hand and said, “My apologies for offending you.” He was holding a cup in his hand, at which point, he threw its contents that was the smell of coffee and was hot, but not scalding. He then punched me in the face (right cheek). I tried to grab him but we both fell.”
The ensuing fight left both men injured. Dahl said he had to undergo multiple surgeries on his hand and he still doesn’t have full use of it. He also racked up thousands of dollars in medical bills, and said he is planning on suing Mendoza.
Mendoza's attorney said Dahl's account of the events are false and defamatory he is considering legal action as well. “Should Mr. Dahl continue to malign Mr. Mendoza he will have no other choice but to pursue all available legal remedies."
======================================
Mendoza's account is not believable for two reasons: 1) he's a SJW bully intolerant of dissent from his views; and 2) can we believe anything said by an Obama administration official?
Mendoza had no business confronting anyone over their personal views on the Redskins issue. Dahl is apparently a huge fan and has several jerseys, shirts, and sweaters emblazoned with the logo. Who is Mendoza to challenge this man's belief that the logo is culturally empowering?
There is no more rancid ideology in America than a racialist ideology where everything from top to bottom, 24 hours a day is seen solely and exclusively through the prism of race. That's where Mendoza's rage comes from -- the same place that the KKK and neo-Nazis find it.
I hope Dahl sues the bastard for millions.
I just want to take low-information America very gently by the hand and say, in a calm and measured tone, “These liberals, the ones you’ve been taught are loving and tolerant and full of goodwill? These liberals are INSANE!”
The fact that this Mendoza punk works for Hussein is enough for me.
Interesting is it not, to see the creation of liberal fascism in the crucible of Barrack Hussein Obama.
Political correctness standard, imposed by force.No regard for individual freedom guaranteed by the constitution.
This is what has been given birth in America, thanks to the Thug in Chief.
OK, this Native American wanted a better life for his son than growing up on the rez and getting drunk every night.
So he sent him to a trade school where he learned to be an electrician.
The Indian was proud of his boy so he took him and his certificate as a qualified electrician to see the chief and show them off.
The chief read the certificate, grunted and finally said,
“Hey, this is great! I’m wondering—I go to the outhouse at night and I’m stumbling around. One night I almost fell in. Do you think you could fix it up with a light?”
And the young brave said, no problem.
Word traveled, and he became known as the first Indian to wire a head for reservations.
Ugh.
:)
Sounds pretty standard for this three-ring Kenyan clown show.
Indeed they are!
LOL!
Anyone spits on me they’re gonna have broken teeth. Period.
This kid couldn’t defend himself and that makes this 10 times worse. Has this a-hole been fired yet? Arrested?
headlines you’ll never see: Self-identified Mexican Indian attacks and maims real American Indian
There are none so intolerant than those who demand tolerance of others.
Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
Come on now. They met at “Pow Wow” and somebody is worried about harmful stereotypes?
Where did this event happen? And are there any surveillance videos of this event?
Every protected class has a chip on their shoulder, that will always make them lesser people.
Native Anerican—there are over 300 million of us.People born in the USA are Native Americans.This is an American Indian. Am tired of the PC term.
I for one hope these fellows can set their animosities aside and smoke the peace pipe together.
