More than most Midwestern cities, Kansas City has a very real connection with Native American culture . . . For better or worse, Native American iconography and references are part of the local discourse and this town's history - Legendary KCMO Mayor H. Roe Bartle called himself "The Chief" and he actually had a profound interest in early American tribes that he incorporated into his Boy Scout volunteerism.
And so, the latest culture war debate betwixt progressives crying foul over an insensitive remark from Prez Trump and supporters of the Commander-In-Chief arguing against the hypocrisy of self-righteous identity politics indignation has dominated recent social media slap fighting . . .
The round-up:
CBS: Trump makes "Pocahontas" remark, referring to Sen. Warren, at Navajo code talkers event
VOA: Native Americans Outraged Over Trump ‘Pocahontas’ Comments
FOX: Press blasts Trump for ‘Pocahontas’ reference, but ignores Warren's cultural appropriation
And so we ask our TKC Blog Community residing in the so-called "Chiefs Kingdom" during an embarrassing losing streak . . .
WAS PREZ TRUMP WRONG TO HURL POCAHONTAS SLUR AGAINST SEN. WARREN DURING TRIBUTE TO NAVAJO CODE TALKER VETERANS?!?!?
Again, supporters will attack Sen. Warren and dodge the initial question of inappropriate language . . . And so the debate is not only over political correctness but also political swagger jacking.
You decide . . .
Trump offers infinite opportunities to take offense to his style but you can't argue with his effectiveness.
ReplyDeleteBwahahahahahahahahaha!
DeleteNO POCAHONTAS was an injun by race.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Elizabeth Warren goes, I prefer "Lieawatha". I'm no big fan of Trump, but he plays the media like a fiddle and they never learn.
ReplyDeleteI do not support the Troll-In-Chief. It's a shame that some of his backers don't mind that he disgraces the office in front of veterans. Quite a shame that the office now has no dignity. I thought Obama was bad but this kind of idiocy is even worse.
ReplyDeleteThen again, I his insults against kim jong un are actually very funny.
ReplyDeleteFauxcahontas scammed Democrat EEO quotas to get hired by Harvard.
Liz 2020!!
ReplyDeleteWe're sure millionaire blue-eyed blonde WASP Liz can afford $99 for a 23 and Me kit to prove her Indian ethnicity.
hasn't done that yet...wonder why?
It was an inappropriate thing to say in front of these men. This event took place in front of a picture of Andrew Jackson.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why people assume that Warren is lying. She grew up in Oklahoma. Her blonde hair & blue eyes are irrelevant. She's never claimed to be full-blooded, only to have some Native DNA.
Of course, the real reason for these attacks against her are because she might be the Democratic Nominee in 2020, and of course, she's a strong woman & conservatives hate strong women.
Wron again, retard. Liz is not a strong woman. She is a lying, dumb cunt.
Delete6:22, FTW! Lieawatha= lmao!
ReplyDeleteIf senator warren claims that saying Pocahontas is a racial slur, then she should lead a delegation offended idiots to England and demand they tear down the statue they erected to her
ReplyDelete6:26, I fervently hope that she is the Democratic nominee for President in 2020. We'll have fun talking about her faux academic research, some of which persuaded a nationally admired law professor to accuse her of scientific malpractice in a law review article. Everything about her is faux. Of course, everything about you is faux as well. Hence the love.
ReplyDeleteYeah Byron, sure, she is a Native American and you are dating Manti Te'o's girl friend. I know that, because Brian Williams told me.
ReplyDeleteWarren is a phony, parasitical Progressive, whose bona fides are bullshit. Uninspired, bumper sticker, sloganeering is the best she has to offer, at differing decibels.
If Bernie Madoff was a Liberal, you would pretend that he was still making everyone a killing on Wall Street and anyone who didn't invest in his firm, was a racist.
A "Stolen Valor" person gets outed when posing as a Military Veteran and is publicly shamed.
ReplyDeleteA "Stolen Heritage" Senator gets outed when posing as a Native American and says those that exposed her should be publicly shamed.
Byron actually thinks I am a "Constitutional Law Professor".
ReplyDelete(snicker)
I just read an article about one of the code talkers that was at the White House
ReplyDeleteHe was asked if he was offended
He said, "no. The marines made us yell Geronimo when we jumped from the airplane and I wasn't offended by that either".
The "I'm offended" industry is getting boring
Hey Einstein Funkhouser - ever heard of a DNA test? You can get one from Ancestry.com or 23andMe.com for $70. Fauxcohontis could easily put all these questions to rest, but won't - because she's lying.
ReplyDeleteAs a Native American I am offended by the liberal pandering and playing minorities as victims constantly for their own political agendas and to gain votes. This does nothing for the minorities and even less for teh country.
ReplyDeleteNo one saw Native Americans protesting at the White House over this, but the liberal press sure wanted to take credit for saving us Natives from Trump. Only after the liberal press worked their asses off to cultivate negative voices could it be claimed that (a tiny, tiny number - as in handful) of Native Americans were allegedly offended. These cry babies and agitators need to put their big boy britches on and accept that we have North Koreans building a powerful nuclear arsenal while we bash and trash over political correctness as defined by a pack of fucking sissy idiots who can not seem to survive a single day of human interaction without shitting their panties and having a nervous breakdown.
Byron must really smoke some nasty ditch weed to come up with the shit he does.
ReplyDeleteExcellent point @ 8:24 - A manufactured controversy.
ReplyDeleteBYRON DO STRONG CONSERVATIVE WOMEN HATE STRONG LIBERAL WOMEN
ReplyDeleteWITHOUT RACE OR GENDER BASHING THE LIBERALS HAVE NOTHING LEFT
ReplyDeleteAnother Massachusetts politician who will get pounded in running for prez. Lol.
ReplyDelete8:24 is spot on the mark !¡!¡ The LIBERAL Democrat Snowflake HOMOSEXUALLY ABOUNDS TRANNY BITCHES cannot handle the truth or reality . These parasite Sissy metrosexual panzies should just go to the safe space faggot room and hug Teddy bears suck on pacifiers smell each other's fat hairy ass and pass out from all the drugs that they take !¡!¡
ReplyDeletethe whole thing was condescending trickle fest from standing in front of andrew jackson portrait to bringing up pocahontas. Y are they even bothering except to make it an event of creme de la humiliation. very southern of them.
ReplyDeleteI'll give him a pass on this one only because you could tell the Code Talkers found it fucking hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWhat a damn joke the Democratic party has become ! They have turned into a bunch of sniveling idiots that are made up of every freak show group of misfits - homosexuals , trans gender weirdness abounds BITCHES , tree huggers , BLM Terrorists , ANTI Fa dick heads terrorists , rapists in Congress , molesters in Congress , all kinds of anti American people that hate American values , history and white people who have earned their success ¡!¡!
ReplyDeleteYou meant Byron...
ReplyDeleteYep, 12:45 you described Byron
ReplyDeleteI hate, Elizabeth Warren. Becuase shes a strong woman, that make's me feel stupid. And unmanly. So Im going to get my gun's. And go to the range, and get my manhood, back.
ReplyDeleteYou're back! Same old schtick, though. New material maybe?
Delete
ReplyDeleteJAMISON... Stop speaking for other people, Thomas Bogay a Navajo who was honored didn't mind what Trump said and his comment about what Trump said was funny! But yet you probably support the disgrace the NFL does to the vets. Are you a HYPOCRITE????
^^^ The adults are talking, please don't participate if you can't comprehend a complex conversation and subtle humor. Actually, I voted for Trump but that doesn't make his buffoonery any less insufferable.
ReplyDeleteGo back and read Fox News, this stuff is over your head @5:24.
Sorry your comprehension skills are lacking. Trump played this one beautifully. He amused the vets, He succeeded in trapping the hysterical media into making themselves look like humorless schoolmarms, and he made a likely democratic presidential nominee into a laughingstock.
Delete;)
You can always count on Trump to stick his foot in his mouth. I guess the silver spoon he was born with doesn't taste so great.
ReplyDelete^^^^^+1. If Trump had to go through anything like what Elizabeth Warren did growing up, he would simply have folded up into the nothing he would have been without his daddy's money.
ReplyDelete3:59: +100
Are you even aware of the controversy? Warren lied about her heritage for career advancement, cynically exploiting racial quotas and stealing an opportunity meant for a Native American.
DeleteHow in the world is she a victim? Lol
The code talkers were great. Unlike the left and the silly media, they have a sense of humor. One of them was asked if he was offended. He said, "No, the marines had us yell "Geronimo" when we jumped out of planes and I wasn't offended by that either."
ReplyDeleteWho's saying anything about victims?
ReplyDeleteShe grew up in Oklahoma where unless proven otherwise it was assumed you were part Indian. Her family told her she was part Indian. She should have verified it, but she didn't.
As far as I know she doesn't have a history of screwing vendors and declaring multiple bankruptcies in order to renege on debt.
Sorry, it's not going to wash. Native American groups know better, and have challenged Fauxcahontas for her cynical opportunism and dishonesty.
DeletePlanning on voting for ol' Liewatha in 2020 then if she's the nominee? Have fun with that. She's already more a joke than a real candidate.
Whatever Fakeajawea's policy positions are, they'll be irrelevant. Hiataxa has already had her Howard Dean scream. ;)
Too much fun.
Talk about "stolen Valor" when did the Code Talkers ever jump out of airplanes?
ReplyDeleteFor that matter, except for the trial Company at Lakehurst, when did Marines ever jump out of airplanes in World War Two? I guess maybe a few unlucky Pilots might have, but Airborne Operations were strictly an Army show.
^^^^Very funny, but if we'll elect Trump, why question whether a joke can get elected?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'd support Warren in 2020. For one thing, she'll be 71 years old, and I think it's about time we elect some younger leaders.
^^^. That's the problem for you leftwing loons 10:23. Yeah, nominate someone "young" like Kamala Harris or Bill de Blasio, they'll attract a lot of mainstream votes.
ReplyDeleteAs opposed to someone old like Trump.
ReplyDeleteIf you vote for some truly far left nutjobs like Harris or de Blasio, you really are an idiot.
ReplyDeleteAs opposed to someone who voted for Trump?
ReplyDeleteApparently you're delusional too. Antifa needs sheeple like you
