the truth about the REDSKIN NAME

[RoboticDreams]

I think the Beverly Hills Crackers would be better.

Ugh, that's very offensive. :rollseyes:

True...the Whitebreads might be better. The 'Beverly Hills We Are Ultra Rich So Call Us What You Want We Still Have More Money Than You' won't fit on a t-shirt...just like the 'Washington Native American Indians'. HTTWNAI !!!!

The writer nailed it with the whole "if you're not offended, we'll be offended for you" comment. This is the world we live in now. They separate you from everyone else, they break you down, they turn the world against you, then they "save" you from the tyranny you've been put under. Then, in exchange, they ask for your vote. Isn't this the formula for every PC driven agenda of the past 10-12 years? Seems like the Native Americans aren't falling for the bullshit, no matter how hard the white man is trying to sell it to them.

Illegal aliens are now called 'undocumented immigrants' but that not the topic for this thread really. Native Americans were here before anyone else and should have a vote on this name change. Do you agree? I think most do and it should not be in the hands of some PC assholes as you have posted about.

Indians is the correct term. It was coined because the "founder" of America called them this because he was an idiot and thought he was in a different place.

I will not use the term "Native American" because if you were born in this country, you are as native as the "Native Americans."

Native Americans came here via the Bering Strait, a Siberian land bridge, or via the Pacific Ocean. They aren't native to this land anymore than you and I. They have no claim to this land greater than you and I.
