Pocahontas was beautiful (according to Disney). I'm not sure her name rises to the level of racial slur.Originally posted by old_gregg View Postto recap: trump using a racial slur is only offensive because the person to whom it was addressed is not a member of that race but claimed to be. got it.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Lots of Native Americans chiming in today saying they consider it to be a racial slur.Originally posted by Flystripper View PostYeah I don't know if the name is a thing with Native Americans but it can be construed as offensive because of the "betrayal" to her people....ie uncle tomesque but I am sure you know that.
Again, the main problem here is that our president is acting like a 10-year-old."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I never watched the movie, after all.

It would be like Trump calling Rachel Dolezal "Aunt Jemima." I'm surprised people are cool with this tbh. Trump is an old, white, racist f*ck and I don't see why people are reticent to call a spade a spade.

Right, it would be. Except I would object becasue of the poeple it might have actually offended, not due to any status Dolezal held.Originally posted by Commando View PostIt would be like Trump calling Rachel Dolezal "Aunt Jemima."

WaPo:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...381_story.htmlBrazile writes that she was haunted by the still-unsolved murder of DNC data staffer Seth Rich and feared for her own life, shutting the blinds to her office window so snipers could not see her and installing surveillance cameras at her home.
So who was Brazile thinking that was trying to kill her? The Russians... or Clinton?
