"Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them.

He seems to think that, as king, he is entitled to tell private companies what to do, as well as being entitled to speak for Native Americans.

[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse], he thinks he can butt into everything. IMO he needs to focus on being the President and stay out of everybody else’s business.
He’s probably trying to deflect from his Epstein problems.

Indians always referred to themselves as Indians and didn’t ask to be called anything else. It was white liberalism political correctness that decided Indians was a slur and "Native Americans" must be used instead.

That’s my experience too.

"Rex non potest peccare"

What’s that mean?

 

[RileyG]

I don't think actual Indians care what Native Americans want to be called. India has nothing to do with this. Most real Native Americans identify with a specific tribe or nation.

This isn’t about India. It’s about the native tribes.

 

[RileyG]

What’s that mean?

The king can do no wrong.

That’s my experience too.

Same here, but it’s hardly a Presidential issue.

Sorry. I also mean that as Oh, My Gosh.

I agree with you.

They refer to themselves collectively as Indians.

You are generalizing from your own limited experience.

The entire issue is just an attempt to go backwards to the days when people were not concerned about how others might feel. As I said before. The Access Hollywood tape was a turning point for the United States. "Crude, insensitive behavior got a free pass. And those who gave it are quite alright with offensive language of all forms. They have simply had it with "sensitivity" and would rather say and do exactly what they want than try to be polite.

Yeah, it works in Church Latin, too.

It's a misnomer, not a slur. "Redskin" is a slur. There's a difference.

Tossing out every kind of rage bait, hoping something, anything will distract his former followers from who he actually is.

Yep

The interesting difference is, in classical Latin the "V" is pronounces as a "W." So "veni, visi, vici" comes of sort of like it was spoken by Elmer Fudd.

American Indians have spoken out about it and have pointed out that it's a progressive liberal white complaint, not their complaint.

See above, He's a fake. Funded by a PR firm for the owners.

"Redskin" as you have conceded. is a racist slur; "indian" is merely a misnomer.

Again, why is it so hard for you to just call people what they want to be called? "Redskin" is a racial slur. No way to get around it.

Both NAGA and the Native Times are run by a whole bunch of American Indians. Your sources are a couple of white men. Most likely progressive liberal white men.
