Cherokee Nation Members Troubled By Trump’s Visit To Andrew Jackson’s Tomb

[Lakhota]

“We survived Andrew Jackson,” said one citizen of the Cherokee Nation.

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump saluted and laid a wreath" at the tomb of President Andrew Jackson" in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday. But Trump’s honoring of the former president ― part of a pattern he has displayed ― is troubling to descendants of the Cherokee people, who were violently removed from their land by Jackson’s policies.

Jackson was “an extremely dangerous man, and a destructive man, to not just Cherokee people, but Native people in general,” said Betsy Richards, an activist and citizen of the Cherokee Nation. Aligning with a president famous for “referring to us as savages" and “saying it’s a privilege for us to be removed off our lands,” said Richards, is “very much in line with how Trump is messaging a lot of his reactions to people of color.”

During the visit to Jackson’s mansion, Trump favorably compared himself to the former president. “What a great visit. Inspirational visit, I have to tell you. I’m a fan,” he said.

The president has also hung Jackson’s portrait" in the Oval Office, and his White House chief strategist, Steve Bannon, has compared" Trump’s movement to “Jackson’s populism.”

Well, this is bizarre and troubling, to say the least. However, it helps confirm what many people already think about Trump.

Hadn't they noticed he's hung Jackson's portrait in the Oval Office?

More evidence of Trump's despicable character.

Andrew Jackson was an evil bastard who went against the Supreme Court's ruling that the Cherokee peoples were considered a dependent nation and thus couldn't be forcibly removed. Jackson didn't care about the Supreme Court's ruling and by forcibly removing the Cherokee west of the Mississippi, caused hundreds of deaths.
The talk about replacing him on the twenty dollar bill is a good thing, but the new person on the bill should be a Cherokee as an "in-your-face" stab at what he had done.

Clearly too dumb to realize that liberalism in this country was born on the left coast, not the West coast.

American injuns have so many advantages, set-asides, and subsides that the entire world is open to them. Economic opportunities abound. But instead of taking advantage of all these opportunities given to you by the white man, they Bitch, moan, and remain ungrateful. Yeah, that WalMart may be built on your ancient homestead, but so the fuck what? Progress means moving forward.

It is like the ridiculous DAPL protests. First of all, those injuns never owned that land. They had no deeds. They were squatters with nothing to offer the developing world. Also, there are already 8 pipelines running beneath the Missouri River and there has been no problem. What is the goddamn difference if we put one more there?

The bottom line is that these injuns are being used by the radicalized leftist scum to further their leftist ideology. They only care about the injuns to the extent their two sets of interests coincide. Outside of those parameters the leftist don't give a shit about the Indians.

The Indians are simple people. They want to protect their ancestors' spirits, the spirit of the buffalo, and their Indian lifestyle. You know what all that adds up to? It adds up to a bunch of lazy ass drunks who live off government money and remain in a perpetual state of anger and resentment. Well, fuck them. They get more handouts than blacks but are not even half as productive as blacks. If I had to rate all the ethnic groups in America I would put the American injuns dead last. These folks need to pull themselves together, take off the fucking feathers and boots, and integrate into our culture. As it currently stands, injuns are basicsally feral beasts still living in the 1600s. It is embarrassing having these people around.

The one thing I do agree with you with was that Jackson was a POS when it came to his illegal treatment of Native Americans and also the ones who fought along side him as allies.

Actually it's embarrasing having ignorami like you around. Had it not been for the indigenous people, the European settlers would have starved themselves out of their own similar ignorance.

What "troubling pattern" has he displayed, honoring former U.S. Presidents and war heroes? I think it's a very healthy "pattern" to ignore all the ridiculous taboos of leftwing constituencies.

You know how many Indians Lincoln and Grant killed? We don't see any Indian groups protesting the Lincoln memorial or Grant's tomb, now do we?

The truth hurts, doesn't it snowflake? Did you know Indian tribes aren't required to pay excise taxes on tobacco and alcohol? They also get to ignore state laws against gambling. Those are just two of the unfair privileges they enjoy.

Obama did so much to help race relations, Now everything is better. So about those Indians, why did polluters choose to destroy their own lands?
