re: #142 Gus

Uh. It’s not 1968 anymore. You don’t call American Indian women Pocahontas unless you’re some drunk asshole at a Hooters.

That’s the point Gus—they’re using it to claim she isn’t an American Indian, and does not rise to the name. The attack is directed at Warren, not American Indians. There’s plenty of racism out there, but this is just normal right-wing character assassination. (There’s no love for Pocahontas in the AIM—I’ve seen it used like ‘Uncle Tom’.)
