re: #151 Decatur Deb

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’.)

Regardless of where the attack was directed it applies equally to the current Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. That’s what makes it such bullshit, ignorant white assholes arrogating themselves to be the arbiters of who has enough blood to claim it.
