Hey, Pocahontas...



DNA tests are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.


Weird how every Deplorable on twitter is suddenly an expert on Native American genealogy, who knew there were so many esteemed scholars living in their parents' mold-infested basements. -Jeff Tiedrich

It is poking fun at Donnie. I guess you boycott Saturday Night Live and every other commedion that makes fun of him. Senator Warren has a thick skin and has been dealing with this crap since her run against Scott Brown here in MA. She Persisted, at times with humor. A little humor and a belly laugh is good medicine in these times. If we don't laugh once in awhile we will dwell in these days of darkness.

I have no clue why you would come on my thread and personally attack me.

If someone used the n-word in this manner, and people told you to lighten up, you would be all over them. It isn't funny and not in any way a belly laugh. Total hypocrisy.

What I wrote was about repeating the meme using that term. Trying to justify with that dumb story isn't relevant to the point.

Edit: Silly me, it didn't occur to me that they were upset about the word Pocahontas in the joke, I thought it was the orangutan part.

That is I could say the phrase "You people..." to one group of people and we could all get along. Then I could say the same thing to a completely different set of people and that would set them off.

it uses it. There is a difference. And it is entirely irrelevant that Warren is 'your' senator. A racist term is a racist term.


As for the thread I think it's better that it stays here. So people can see. See the meme and see the rationalization.

It matters that it is a racist term our dear dear president uses, oh and ex senator scottie brown who started it in MA. The meme does not do that.

Oh nooos! Thank you for showing me the error of my ways. I will wear an R on my chest all my days now. You called me a racist, melman. Oh yes you did.

I am sure you took this person to task for a racist slur.

Shit-fer-brains Donnie only makes up names for people who annoy him, in other words, human beings who do good things.

The Right Honorable Senator Pocahontas has a big badge to wear. She's done excellent work throughout all the time that Daddy's Boy Donnie has been a parasite. She's stood up to his bullying attempts and called him out on his lies and deplorable behavior. This DNA thing is just the latest smack-down she's given him.

Respect!

She should leave orangutans out of a tRump comparison. First of all the apes are smarter, and secondly they are much better looking. Sure, they are the same color, but a lot of things are orange.

In 2016, I had a brief hope that HRC would ask Warren to be VP on the ticket. I assume they decided it was best for Sen. Warren to keep up the fight in the Senate.

We could use more fighters like her.

If she runs for prez, there is no need for her to quit her Senate seat, is there? It's a win-win -- if she is sent to the WH, she quits the Senate and her governor appoints a replacement. If she loses the WH bid, we still have her in the Senate.

The governor doesn't appoint a replacement. That's how Brown got in after Kennedy passed away.
