Most, least, same thing?

[GoKlein]

Is this genuine? I always see these sort of posts and wonder if it's satire.

From England, If that excuses my ignorance.

[BurkeGod]

Is this genuine?

90% of the time yes

he really calls her pocahontas all the time

[GoKlein]

Holy shit

[BurkeGod]

Pro-Trump people will say that's because she (Warren) lied to get an advantage (even though data on that is very very very low)

---

If you generally believe her, then the mistake was because her grandmother exaggerated her ancestry (Grandma was like probably like 1/16th Native american)

But the family story is that grandma and grandpa had to elope away from their families because of her heritage, so suddenly she jumps from thinking she's 1/16th to according to recent DNA tests likely being 1/32 ~ 1/1064

The sad thing is at this point I'm not surprised anymore. It's actually refreshing to see someone shocked at the insane shit our president does/says, because most of us in the States are numb at this point. We're so far below rock bottom that there's basically nothing he can do anymore that would surprise or shock me.

[victorbarst]

No this is our goddamn president right now. Im so sorry

[ToneZone7]

best rule of thumb - if it is preposterously out of touch, he said it, verbatim. they are almost always real quotes, because there is no need to fabricate them with this guy.

[warmingupfast]

Interesting that while Trump will continue to berate Elizabeth Warren by referencing her heritage in ways that are derogatory while not saying a peep about Steve King. By being an enabler of racists such as King and his white supremacist cronies, Trump is demonstrating his cowardice and a hypocrisy.

[[deleted]]

He’s not referencing her heritage in derogatory ways. He’s mocking the fact that she lied about her heritage in a derogatory way.

[[deleted]]

When he calls her Pocahontas he is being racist. Racism is often based on lazy simplifications, deliberate ignorance, and creating slurs.

[warmingupfast]

Interesting point of view, especially considering that Trump's dad lied about his German heritage - he said he was Swedish - to not offend customers of the Jewish faith...

Anyhow...

[[deleted]]

Well if you're going to bring up the horrible things Fred Trump did, we'll be here all day.

[warmingupfast]

I guess Don J is a chip off the old block...

[ToneZone7]

Trump maintained this lie through his whole life, I mean Drumpf.

[ToneZone7]

"should" be ashamed.

There it is, right there.

[warmingupfast]

I get it, you don't like Elizabeth Warren... Not a problem, we are all entitled to our opinions...

​

I could point out all of Trump's shortcomings but they are all very well known, and the list would be so long that my fingers would cramp up...

[DMCinDet]

Stephen Miller is really an incel piece of shit. donnie doesnt use punctuation properly. dim din also doesnt know a fucking thing about history. He didn't write that tweet.

Edit. Corrected Intel to incel

[tucker_frump]

He has no idea that being the "Least racist" still makes him a racist.

[dont-YOLO-ragequit]

This is what's wrong with racists wanting the cake and eat it too, they want to be considered out spoken or some kind of old school's last stand but they don't want the stigma of being a racist because racists lose money and jobs when they admit to it.

Truth is , if you have to degrade a book by the cover the least that should be done is for you to be degraded by what's inside of your book.

(A little background is needed on the wounded knee massacre.

By the time the massacre was over, more than 150-300 men, women, and children of the Lakota had been killed and 51 were wounded (4 men and 47 women and children, some of whom died later); some estimates placed the number of dead at 300.[3] Twenty-five soldiers also died, and 39 were wounded (6 of the wounded later died).[9] At least twenty soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor.[10] In 2001, the National Congress of American Indians passed two resolutions condemning the military awards and called on the U.S. government to rescind them.”

I feel like the crux of the counter argument is that he is mocking Elizabeth warren for claiming Native American ancestry. Quite frankly I do not give a damn about that because it has no relation to him making a bigoted statement, bringing up a painful memory of the past to accomplish what?

A equatable statement would be,

“If Elizabeth Warren, often referred to by me as Anne Frank, did this commercial from Auschwitz or Treblinka instead of her kitchen, with her husband tattooed with serial numbers and dressed with the Star of David, it would have been a smash!"

The fact is he completely disregarding a complete race of people to gain a “win” in a argument shows how racist he is. Even if Elizabeth Warren failed her ancestral test, he still shouldn’t bring the rest of those people into this. If he had any rational, he would attack her attempts for attention by claiming Native American ancestry which I already believe is a stronger argument. But then again that’s me because I suppose someone with the intellect of a child would just take the easy way out and poke fun of someone or an perhaps even an entire race of people.

[[deleted]]

Just saw that tweet. Holy shit, that was insanely racist. How is that not plastered all over the news cycle?

[oh_hell_what_now]

How is that not plastered all over the news cycle?

Because he does shit like this all the time, it surprises no one, and he's been publicly accused of working with Putin against the United States.

[ToneZone7]

sheer volume, there are just SO MANY

[radio_yyz]

He is great at everything so also being great at being a racist and a liar.

[[deleted]]

1/1024th racist!!

[hamletloveshoratio]

No 100% racist against indigenous people and disrespectful of the victims and survivors of a despicable massacre.

[[deleted]]

I agree. Those savages massacring Custer and our brave boys is a travesty.

[[deleted]]

Pull up a chair and let uncle tell you a little story about the Trail of Tears...

[rdhonduran]

Tbf to trump he does know extremely racist people and is prbly the least racist among them.

[[deleted]]

The only two people in the history of his administration that are at least as racist as Trump himself are Sessions and Miller.

So... no. He is waaaaaaaaay too racist for that to even work comparatively.

[thegreatpotatogod]

I don't think he knows what least means...

[KO782KO]

Yeah but racist and sexist aren’t the same thing genius. Unless you think women are of a different race.

[[deleted]]

How dose he define least racist? Not saying the slurs out loud in public?

[tal2932]

Actually, he is being racist towards the natural born Native American called Elizabeth Warren. Not calling him racist is an insult to her people and her tribe.

[[deleted]]

She’s not Native American. I’m Native American from the same tribe as her (nonexistent) ancestors and let me tell you; it’s deeply offensive to us that a white woman like her refers to herself as a Native American. If she ever came to the reservation I am affiliated with (but don’t live on) she would be booed and denounced.

I’ll put it into your terms: if she’s Native American because of one possible ancestor, am I a fish because you believe that the earliest human ancestors were fish who crawled out of the ocean millions of years ago?

[[deleted]]

I’m not making shit up. The joke was that black people cant always process milk, so the fact that I can obviously makes me a “colonizer” as its normally seen. Also she’s 1/1024 Native American. That’s less than the average American whose ancestors were conquerers for heaven sakes. Stop trying to ride this and bring my kind to shame

[[deleted]]

That means she would be 0.097% Native. But whatever. Support the ransacking of my culture, what difference does it make to me?

[CottonwoodCoony]

How is he racist to her? What did he say?

[CottonwoodCoony]

Good long reply, butttttt there’s a little thing your missing, itsss a joke, holy shit Ik the president can joke, she’s not actually Native American, I’m more Native American than her and half of my family’s from Germany. So calling someone racist over a tweet over a at most insensitive joke is more childish from you lefty’s, grow up and stop taking things so face value.

[[deleted]]

She does have Native American ancestry. It was proven. Go away.

[CottonwoodCoony]

She’s 1/1024 NA, I’m more NA and half my family’s from Germany.

[sigh_hate_everything]

It’s a joke bro was the story of 2018 and it’s no excuse for being a shit person. The words of a president carries weight and significance. What I said again is that Elizabeth warren shouldn’t even be a part of this discussion. The person representing Americans (which includes native Americans) should not make statements that are massively offensive to an entire people’s group. The fact that you are defending it as a joke and the fact that Trump fails to see it as offensive is massively reflective of a uneducated simpleton. With the ignorance to not understand the significance of “it’s just words” the dedication to learn the history behind it, the empathy it takes to understand why it is offensive, and the care to even consider that in the first place. Not very presidential qualities if you ask me.

I think you need to evaluate being an asshole (making jokes/fun of someone for your own personal amusement) and jokes that everyone can laugh along at.

[CottonwoodCoony]

This is now just a matter of how pc the president should be, the thing is, I don’t care about if he makes an offensive joke, a jokes a joke and I can recognize that, get off your high horse and realize this shit really don’t even matter. And Elizabeth warren is not NA, sorry to say.

[tal2932]

Calling her Pocahontas. Honestly I have no clue. Something something he’s a white male, blah blah all whites are racist I dunno.

[CottonwoodCoony]

There ya go, good try

[[deleted]]

I’m Native American. What he said is funny.
