Because she is a political enemy and if she lied about her heritage to get ahead that is ammo against her. If she said she donated 10 million to Goodwill and Trump thought she lied he'd bring it up. EVEN knowing he lied about the same shit. I don't know that calling her Pocahontas is racist in and of itself. How could he refer to her lying about it (if she did) without you calling it racist?
I knew as soon as I saw this a bunch of progressives would start getting offended for Natives in their place. Calling her "Ward Churchill" would be more accurate though.
If you were a white person claiming african american heritage your analogy would be on point. He is poking fun at her claiming native heritage, when she is clearly predominantly white. Is it in poor taste? Yea, especially for a president. Is it racist? Not really. If Trump clamed to be some minute fraction native American that shit would be on SNL and every other late night show being hosed with Indian puns.
Foolish. Her claiming to be part Native (most of us are) means he needs to deride her heritage???? I think it's hilarious how y'all scramble to defend this piece of shit...
You might be my cousin, bro. My late uncle really got into genealogy stuff and had a black guy contact him about our Scandinavian ancestors because he had some and even had a Scandinavian viking surname.
Its like calling Shaun King "Talcum X". Probably a dick move, but kind of funny considering she appropriated Native American culture to get affirmative action benefits.
Warren is a piece of crap who likely lied about her heritage to gain favor. Trump is a piece of crap who is incapable of bettering himself to act like an adult. hope they both get hit by a meteorite.
Trump is 100% racist. He’s the kind of racist who might not even know he’s racist. He’s also below average IQ imo. It’s a bad combo. But he is 100% racist.
I'm not so interested in defending his reputation. We all know he's a big mouth. I just think alot of these hysterical claims of racism are flimsy at best. And in turn, these flimsly claims are what people use to justify calling people they disagree with pieces of shit. It's just nitpicking bullshit. When he does something legitimately racist I'll have no problem acknowledging it. Lemme know when that happens. Jokingly calling a white politician 'pocahontas' after she attempts a cheap exploitation of natives doesn't do it for me.
I think it's time to retire the snowflake insult, dude. We're not the ones chucking coffee machines out our windows like babies. How a republican can call a dem a snowflake without seeing the insane hypocrisy is amazing. Par for the course I guess. I've never seen bigger hypocrites than republicans. So glad I left the party. Disgraceful.
I think it is hilarious that he is clearly a piece of shit and ONCE AGAIN you have to make up stuff to throw at him. Or at least live in denial of the point he was so unnecessarily trying to make. For the last time he THINKS SHE ISN'T NATIVE AMERICAN.
What's worse than that is he held this presser directly under a portrait of Thomas Jefferson - who enacted the Indian removal act.
I thought the knock against Warren is that used her supposed Native American heritage to get herself elected to the board of some college as a "minority", but the truth is that her family is likely not Native at all, and in fact was complicit in dislocating some native people from the area her family is from. That is just off of memory I may be completely wrong. "Grandma has high cheek bones, so our family must be part native."
Not by any conceivable leap, no. Unless you went around deliberately lying that you had Greek blood in your veins, as a way to solicit minority votes and the millions of dollars that come from being a Senator like Warren did. Oh, wait, STILL not racist.
PROVE IT FALSE. And shame on all of you. Racism is ok in y'alls book... Calling someone Pocahontas is RACIST through and through....
Seems like a compliment: Pocahontas image: http://cdn.thinkbabynames.com/img/play.png as a girls' name is of Native American Indian origin, and the meaning of Pocahontas is "playful". Read more at http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Pocahontas#y2cdxKRRZJ2aTl9L.99
