God, I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning.

So mister whitey white does not use his/hers heritage as an advantage on a daily basis?

Please explain. Tell me how I am racist and/or Trump mocking Warren for lying about her heritage is racist. If i said I am of Scandinavian descent, and I wasn't, and someone mockingly called me "Sven", I don't see that as racist. You guys are trying so hard, but luckily America sees through it.

Trump has the bigliest approval ratings since taking office, so good they've been going up each month since he was sworn in right?

But you shouldn't be discussing it at all because people are still smoking. You do care about people dying from smoking right? Although I must have missed the threads you've started to discuss smoking specifically.

The left is obviously worried that Trump is becoming a successful president, so they manufacture rage and pretend things like this are racist.

Fake news, he found one Native American who wasn't offended, so it obviously isn't racism. Plus, we have bigger things to worry about. Smoking kills far more people than racism.
 
Can any of you tell me why this is racist? It most certainly isn't, but maybe you have some angle I hadn't thought about..? How is mocking Elizabeth Warren for her lies about being Native American, by calling her a well-known Native American's name, racist?

How does that disparage a race? How does that suggest superiority of one race to another? How does that harm someone of a specific race based on skin color or ancestry?

why don't you ask some Native Americans, you know, face to face, that exact question. They could probably explain it much better than anyone here. Plus we're all shills for soros, so you wouldn't believe us anyway.

So you can't answer. I wouldn't expect you to do so anyway, you never add anything of substance or thought.

"Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye described the incident as part of an “ongoing feud” between Trump and Elizabeth Warren, over her claims to have Native American heritage during her Senate campaign.

“In this day and age, all tribal nations still battle insensitive references to our people. The prejudice that Native American people face is an unfortunate historical legacy,” Begaye said. “As Native Americans, we are proud people who have taken care of this land long before there was the United States of America and we will continue to fight for this Nation.”

Pocahontas was a pre-teen who was kidnapped, held hostage & raped by European invaders. Stop using her name as a racial slur & how dare you insult these brave Native men who risked their lives for this country. https://t.co/FVMCoYo0Oj

"Jefferson Keel, president of the National Congress of American Indians, issued the following statement Monday:

“Today was about recognizing the remarkable courage and invaluable contributions of our Native code talkers. That’s who we honor today and everyday – the three code talkers present at the White House representing the 10 other elderly living code talkers who were unable to join them, and the hundreds of other code talkers from the Cherokee, Choctaw, Comanche, Lakota, Meskwaki, Mohawk, Navajo, Tlingit, and other tribes who served during World Wars I and II.”

Keel also called on the president to refrain from invoking Pocahontas in a way that “denigrates the legacy” of the 17th century Pamunkey woman, born Matoaka, who is credited with helping foster relations between Virginia tribes and early British colonizers.

"As a Marine Vet myself, I am keenly aware of how great a sacrifice these Navajo Marines made to the war effort," said Ray Cook, former op/ed editor of Indian Country Today Media Network. "There is something basically wrong that a man would on one hand hand praise Native veterans and, on the other and in the same breath, denounce another person with a claimed Native background with a racial slur that is derogatory to Natives."

Let me ask again. HOW IS IT RACIST? How does it disparage a race? How does Trump calling Warren out on her lie in a sarcastic manner somehow push race superiority?
