Also isn’t it funny how a football team is named after a racial slur and they are playing on Thanksgiving Dayhttps://twitter.com/lilnativeboy/status/931331289269002240 …
Just a reminder last year on Thanksgiving that Natives were being tortured with dogs, illegal scare tactics, being run over by angry white ppl all to protect our water and this year on Thanksgiving they are now cleaning up 200,000 gallon oil spill on a South Dakota reservation

If they had any decency they would change the name...but they haven't. They are an international disgrace.

Funny that 9 out 10 Natives surveyed are not offended by the Redskins name but the ones truly offended seem to be white self-hating liberals LOL
-
Hmm sounds like you are basing your opinion off anecdotes. I can do that too. I live in a rural community so Native Americans are far & few between. But the two I met & talked to at length were pretty offended by the team not changing it's name.
-
You're really comparing a survey posted by The Washington Post to your supposed individual experience of only meeting TWO Native Americans who shared your view? Garbaaaage.
-
Lol well I was messing with you becuz u just survey so how was I supposed to know? Nevermind don't answer I suspect as always a snappy response. Social media has been a very detrimental thing for humankind
-
You just said survey*

Does this guy need statistic valdation as to whether racial slurs are ok or not? What if results against your opinion. Would it be ok then?

share a link to native organizations instead
-
He is an organization.
-
How? All I see is an individual. Seems pretty damn tacky to try to get money out of this.
-
He's asking for help with college. Not drug money. Not all of us were born with silver spoons...
-
That's not the point. He tweeted about an issue facing native people but then replied to it with a donation link for himself, instead of a link related to the issue he tweeted about/ instead of a link that can help the issue
-
Y'all really look for reasons to be offended.

As an indigenous person won't your tribe help you with commodities and healthcare? It should be part of your reparations package. I know mine does...
-
What an asshole comment. Indigenous people living in the rez are suffering big time. Reparations?! Lol. And those who aren't living on a rez and don't "appear" indigenous, we're mocked and have a hell of a time even proving ancestry. I can, but the US labels my people "extinct".
-
We're not extinct, obviously, and Canada acknowledges us. That doesn't mean I receive reparations, nor do I ever expect or want them. What I want is help for first nation people, especially living rez life, acknowledgement of the genocide that took place and some damn respect.
