Elizabeth Warren actually is a member of a native American tribe now, she was adopted into one. So calling her Pocahontas is like using some anti Jewish slur against a convert.

http://dashboard.securingdemocracy.org/ The Hamilton 68 dashboard is an aggregate of over 600 known Russian twitter bots in an attempt to expose their talking points and the effects of their influence on American media and political culture. Strangely enough, many of the subjects Trump has tweeted recently are trending hashtags and topics within this network (Donna Brazile, Elizabeth Warren, etc). There's also a weekly update of what the major stories being pushed are. All in all, a very interesting look at the russian propaganda machine on twitter.

Calling Warren "Pocahontas" is like calling Bernie Sanders "Herschel" or calling Keith Ellison "Mohammed". It's pretty terrible.

Being part Indian was acceptable and even cool, being part black was not I was trying to track down the marriage certificate for a long lost ancestor and the nice Black lady in the records department looked at the designation code on the record (BKsomethingsomethingsomething) and then back up at me and back down at the code and asked "....Black?" before hurrying to the back. Ends up he was White and it was so long ago that any racial designation would've been for Colored, but I wonder how many White people come into there and leave a little more diverse than they realized. theflyingorc posted:Ulysses S.

It's a President's last refuge.

Attacking Warren for appropriating a Native American heritage, by throwing a slur against Native Americans at her is really loving rich. They could at least do that thing where they suddenly pretend to be concerned about minorities when it happens to suit them.

I think a lot about how long it'll take before our numbness to incivility at the top of the government will go away. Or if it ever will. Like, will it break as soon as the next President is in power and isn't a gaping rear end in a top hat, or will it linger for decades because the only thing keeping it civil was collective refusal to cross the line?

Also worth mentioning that while Warren is a senator from MA she grew up in drat Oklahoma so its not like it was farfetched for her to have Native Americans somewhere in her family tree

mcmagic posted:No one even remembers that moronic story other than far right lunatics. That has absolutely nothing to do with my point, congratulations. From the right, it's not seen as "making fun of Native Americans", it's "making fun of someone for pretending to be Native American". That's why he's getting away with it, because he's attacking her non-Native-ness. It's still garbage and he should absolutely get called out for it, but explaining why it's a problem is more complicated and gonna be difficult to get white America behind. Anyone not buried in scandal, it would be a major scandal, but we're so busy with President Moron that anything that requires explanation to get Joe Average to understand why it's offensive is a non-starter right now.
