Cherokee Nation demands apology for tomahawk chops

MDaF linked this thread or something like it, but I'd already bookmarked it.

Scott Brown's got him some overzealous staffers mocking his opponent Elizabeth Warren with 1960's style Indian war whoops and crap.

Not gonna play well.

The Cherokees demand an apology. Freepers, who are rather frustrated these days, reach a century and a half back to dredge up some racism to throw:

hulagirl knows real American Indians vote Republican!
Go to badeagle.com and see what a real American Indian thinks of this crap. Dr. Yeagley has written extensively on all things “conservative” and quite a bit on the mascot thing.
Hawk1976 totally heard that the reservations are greedy and sex-crazed.
A friend I met in the Army confided in me that she had to make the army work for her. First she had gotten past her eighteenth birthday without getting knocked up by one of the boys on the reservation. Then she had the gall to leave the reservation and join the Army, which took money away from the reservation. She told me that she could never return.
Sacajaweau also heard that Native Americans are all lazy:
A very old, wise native american (Seneca) don't me that they don't disipline their kids...it's drugs and drink...and they don't like to work either.

Another friend went to Alaska....where the natives sit around and collect their "lease" checks. They all have a big jeep, snowmoble and CHOOSE to live in shacks. No incentive.

Here...off the reservation....we call them the 47%.
McGruff goes with the alcoholic crack:
Amazing what a couple of bottles of fire water will get for you.
HamiltonJay seems mad:
So they want an apology for the Tomahawk Chop? Tell you what, you’ll get one when you apologize for every white scalp your ancestors took and white girl you abducted and forced to bear your children

Shut the hell up, you were conquered a long time ago, get the hell over it.

  1. It's like they have a checklist to make sure all of the stereotypes are represented when they make a post.

  2. This is just a small thing but it is the sort of thing about Freepers that drives me crazy.


    Brooklyn Attitude ends his rant with this, "An example is the British who were taken over by the Romans. If the Brits took the same attitude as Indians and groups with a perpetual victim mentality, they would still be living in huts and dying their faces blue."

    It's just astoundingly ignorant.

    Wonder if this poster feels this way about the Confederacy.
