So how is Trump's Pocahontas remark racist?

[OnePercenter]

I've wondered about the "logic" behind this claim. Is it also racist to shout "Geronimo!" when leaping out of a plain? Is any mention of or comparison with any non white historical figure racist? Wouldn't that make anyone calling Clarence Thomas an "Uncle Tom" a racist?

Of course, we all know the real reason. Democrats can't win a debate without pulling out the race card.

I've wondered why a Canadian like you is so interested in Donald Trump. Is he one of yours too?

I hope they do not regret their actions In the future.

But then, they seem not to care about much, do they??

It was a bad time for Sen. Cory Gardner to be caught in an elevator with a reporter. Donald Trump had just referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts as “Pocahontas” — again — and the Republican freshman from Colorado was struggling to figure out how to respond.

“I think people need to be treated with respect, and that’s what we’ve demanded from everyone,” he offered.

But was it racist?

Gardner clammed up. He politely referred further questions to his press secretary.

So it went for Republicans on Capitol Hill on Friday, forced to contend with yet another provocative comment by their presumptive presidential nominee — clambering for safety as Trump launched another boundary-pushing attack.

“Get used to it,” said Republican pollster Whit Ayres, a Trump critic. “This is your life for the next five months.”

The furor over Trump’s assaults on the impartiality of a Latino judge had just begun to subside when he lobbed two tweets Friday morning responding to Warren, who had lambasted him as a “thin-skinned, racist bully” in a speech the previous evening.

“Pocahontas is at it again!” Trump wrote in one. “Goofy Elizabeth Warren, one of the least productive U.S. Senators, has a nasty mouth.”

“No, seriously — Delete your account,” Warren tweeted back. One of the senator’s supporters secured Pocahontas.com and redirected it to Warren’s campaign site.

The real estate developer has repeatedly invoked the 17th-century Native American figure to refer to Warren, an allusion to controversy about her heritage. The senator has said she grew up amid family stories about her Cherokee lineage, but that account has not been proved.

Trump began going after Warren’s claimed ancestry earlier this year, responding to the senator’s repeated slams of him as a “loser” and a bully. “Who’s that, the Indian?” he said at a March news conference when asked about Warren. “You mean the Indian?”

Romney told CNN on Friday that he was worried Trump’s language could lead to “trickle-down racism” in the country.

Is Trump a reincarnated Andrew Jackson on steroids? Sounds like it...

http://hotair.com/archives/2016/06/11/republicans-who-chuckled-at-fauxcahontas-jokes-are-suddenly-aghast-at-trump/

The title of this Washington Post piece from yesterday really tells you the whole story:Trump’s ‘Pocahontas’ attack leaves fellow Republicans squirming (again).

Please. Spare me.

The “Pocahontas” line spurred chatter at former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s ideas summit Friday in Park City, Utah, where some attendees said they were aghast at Trump’s many race-based lines of attack.

Stuart Stevens — the chief strategist on Romney’s 2012 presidential bid, who, like Romney, has vowed not to vote for Trump — said the candidate’s use of “Pocahontas” to attack Warren was both racist and inappropriate…

“This is a sick guy, and Americans are not longing for a president who’s going to go out and use ethnic slurs against people,” he said. “It’s amusing in the same way telling dirty jokes around a frat house can get laughs, but most people grow out of that. It’s childish.”​

This is the latest flavor of the day for the Democrats and, as usual, they are being mimicked (and quoted) by the #NeverTrump forces. When it comes from Democrats I can simply roll my eyes yet again and skip over the story in question. After all, cultural outrage – usually fauxrage – over racial, gender or sexual orientation lines are their bread and butter. But the Republicans still bitter over Trump’s primary victories should tread a bit more carefully.​

On MSNBC they said calling Warren Pocahontas was "derogatory", I totally disagree. I totally respect the native American culture and would never use anything derogatory to describe anything native American. I hope Trump wins the native American vote. Actually, I hope Trump courts their support, casinos & all. The fucking dems can't help playing the racist victim card.

Ummm, Trump is the one using the race card .

But let's say Liz claimed to be black . Would
Trump be calling her " Kunta Kintey"?

Is the Disney cartoon "Pocahontas" racist?

A lot of Disney's shit is racist - and distorted. Just ask hunters about Bambi...

Moreover Warren's siblings have already corroborated the family oral history.

The bottom line remains, the poster not only claimed a "lie" that she can't prove ---- but she's done it before, got debunked then too, and yet comes back with the same mythology and the same lack of evidence, expecting different results.

The fact that Warren won only shows what morons the people of Massachusetts are.

Let's not forget who they repeatedly elected to represent them in the senate. An alcoholic, renowned for his boorish behavior with any woman who came within reach of his grasp. He also confirmed that the worse the behavior, up to and including DUI manslaughter, only adds to the resume of a Democrat.

That's Calvin Coolidge. Far as I now he was not.

“I think it’s wonderful because the Indians can now partake in the future of the country… Her whole life was based on a fraud. She got into Harvard and all that because she said she was a minority.” -- Trump

Fuck Liz Warren, she a fucking disgrace.

Well, if he were pretending to be native American for some kind of gain and was not, then yes.

If the Native Americans had him put that stuff on as part of some kind of ceremony, then no.

Pretty easy answer.

Enter the other mythologist who's already lost this case in the past, here to expect different results one more time.

You have quotes around your quote, Frank. Got a source for it?

BZZT. Time's up. I came, I saw, I Googled. It was Rump Himself.
And he's as Deadwood Wrong as you are. That's already been documented.
