When will real Indians realize they are being erased by racists who don’t want them to be remembered?

Yes, I remember being about 12-13 years old, and my grandmother showed me that.

Remember when they dropped their support of Steve King?

Marlon Brando’s been dead for a while...

Don’t forget Native American Woman that he sent to the Academy Awards in his place.

No racism problem with Kerrygold Irish butter — THE butter in this house. Of course the Irish are white, so some flake could possibly complain about nonwhite exclusion...

My alma mater is now represented by a tree instead
of Prince Lightfoot. Now, that’s progress.

Deliberate. Early versions had dotted lines to show where to snip so the knees could be folded up to the chest area. Young boys learned this. It’s juvenile, not racist and time for the picture to go.

“...by depicting Native women as sex objects.”

I always get turned on when walking down the butter aisle.

Is Ruth Buffalo really that crazy to think that the woman on the butter box is seen as a sex object?

No offense, but that message to the company is idiotic. Who at the company actually gave that reason for changing their logo? NOBODY. The comment you referenced was from a North Dakota politician named Ruth Buffalo.

So this is the most ridiculous extension of perpetual aggrievement on both sides of the aisle. Karen Buffalo turned you into Karen LateBoomer.

The company actually made a smart move here. They’re replacing the Indian woman with a farmer-themed branding campaign.

Everyone loves farmers. Elizabeth Warren’s pathetic presidential campaign proves that nobody gives a sh!t about Indians anymore.

Do these people want to remove all Indians from America’s history? Is this an extension of removing all southern leadership during the civil war from America’s history?

The “poor” indians were defeated. The LIB losers then decided to give them reservations. Now the indians have many casinos. They have their own “countries” within our country. They run they bureau of indian affairs (most government “workers” there are indians) where they continue to steal taxpayers’ money. What more do these once defeated people want? Reparations are likely next. Screw’em. Join the culture, work like the average Citizen and quietly live you life. Cry me a river.

“ Land of Flakes should be an easy brand to boycott. Spread the word. No more PCBS!.”

The Indian girl reminds me of the old Pabst Blue Ribbon commercials. Is Pabst even still in business? Haven’t seen it in the stores in years....

PBR is still around. I read where it became a cult beer with college students. I can’t find Schlitz which went back to the old recipe a few years ago.
