Big fucking deal...The ole racism gig isnt going to work against Trump...The gaystream media has fed us so full of the race bullshit it doesnt matter & never did...Drumpf: I am not a racist, I'm the least racist person, Trust mehno:
Drumpf 5 Minutes later: Pocahontas, Pocahontas
He's as self aware as Wrong Way.
You missed too many classes Guesser, you are so dumb. You are certainly the FORUM CHUMP.
Pocahontas is NOT A RACIAL SLUR. Only a imbecile like you would think so.
Once again you exhibit your perverse obsession with Jews. You use the opportunity to post the indisputable racial slur for a Jew. .Of all the thousands of recognised racial slurs, you chose Jew.
In that case I will give you a racial slur for a Muslim = Raghead, for a person from Pakistan = Paki.
To see them all, and you will not find pocahantas here, because it is not a racial slur.

[FONT="]If Trump had made some insult about Native Americans generally, or had expressed sympathy for their treatment during America’s westward expansion or something like that, then sure. I get it. That’s racist and offensive.[/FONT]
[FONT="]But calling Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas to tease her for making some very silly claims about her cultural heritage? Claims not even The Atlantic, hardly a bastion of right-wing sympathies, could substantiate?[/FONT]
[FONT="]C’mon. This sort of silliness, and the candidate’s willingness to gleefully blow right through it, is the foundation of Trump’s appeal.

Why Donald Trump keeps calling Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas”

Pocahontas is at it again! Goofy Elizabeth Warren, one of the least productive U.S. Senators, has a nasty mouth. Hope she is V.P. choice.
8:07 AM - 10 Jun 2016
Trump was responding to a scorching speech Warren made Thursday night, in which she called Trump a "loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud."
"Pocahontas" has apparently become Trump’s favorite new nickname for Warren, who has said that she had Cherokee ancestors. Trump has used the insult several times in the last month or so, including at a chaotic rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and in an interview with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd.
This is the latest example of Trump saying something blatantly racist
Trump has come under fire in the last few weeks for his repeated comments alleging that federal judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over two class action suits against Trump University, is biased against Trump because of his Mexican heritage. (Curiel is American, born in Indiana to Mexican immigrants.)
These comments are racist because they suggest Curiel can't do his job specifically because of his ethnicity.
Trump, it seems, has a bad habit of essentializing people based purely on their heritage — his "birther" conspiracy theories about President Obama helped Trump rise to political prominence in the first place. Conflating all Native Americans with "Pocahontas" is another example of this, and another example of racism.
"Trump’s inability to discern the difference between Sen. Warren and Pocahontas is no accident," Cherokee Nation citizen Mary Kathryn Nagle told MSNBC's Adam Howard last month. "Instead, his attack on her native identity reflects a dominant American culture that has made every effort to diminish native women to nothing other than a fantastical, oversexualized, Disney character."
Debra Haaland, the first Native American State Democratic Party Chair of New Mexico, writes:
Trump’s comment may be racist against Native Americans, but he’s using it here to sarcastically suggest that Warren really isn’t Native American. (Which, oddly enough, proves that Trump can also be racist while trying to insult someone for being white.)
Trump is referring to a controversy Warren faced over her ancestry during her 2012 Senate campaign.
Warren says she grew up being told that she had Cherokee heritage. "Everyone on our mother’s side — aunts, uncles, and grandparents — talked openly about their Native American ancestry," she wrote in her 2014 book, A Fighting Chance. "My brothers and I grew up on stories about our grandfather building one-room schoolhouses and about our grandparents’ courtship and their early lives together in Indian Territory."
This became an issue during her campaign when reports emerged that Harvard had once touted her Native American heritage as proof of its faculty's diversity. Warren, however, couldn't produce definitive proof of her Cherokee ancestry, and neither could genealogists.
This led to speculation that Warren had been a fake "diversity hire," or that she had abused the affirmative-action system to gain an advantage over other candidates.
However, as Garance Franke-Ruta reported for the Atlantic in 2012, there's no evidence that Warren ever used claims of Native American ancestry to help her get a job.
While Warren was listed as a minority in the Association of American Law Schools Directory of Faculty, she had declined to apply as a minority to Rutgers Law School, and had listed herself as "white" while teaching at the University of Texas. The head of the committee that recruited Warren to Harvard also said he had no memory of her Native American heritage ever coming up, and the 1995 Harvard Crimsonarticle reporting on her tenure made no mention of it.
It's true, Franke-Ruta learned, that Warren wouldn't meet the criteria to officially qualify as Cherokee. She only claimed to be 1/32 Cherokee, which is too little to qualify for citizenship in two of the three major Cherokee tribes. She also doesn't have a known direct ancestor listed on the Dawes Rolls, which is a strict requirement for membership in the Cherokee Nation, or on the Baker Rolls, a requirement of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
But just because Warren can't find hard evidence of Native American heritage doesn't mean she doesn't have any, Franke-Ruta said — and even if she doesn't, that wouldn't make her a liar. Hazy oral histories about Native heritage are especially common in Oklahoma, where Warren grew up, and she would have no particular reason to disbelieve the stories she was told growing up.
Franke-Ruta notes that the shaky reliability of oral history has confounded other public figures — like Madeleine Albright, who didn't know until reporters discovered it that her own parents had escaped the Holocaust, or Marco Rubio, who mistakenly believed that he was the "son of exiles" from Castro's Cuba when his parents actually came over before Castro took power.
Trump sometimes uses racist attacks to distract from substantive critiques against him
The lawsuits against Trump University that Curiel is presiding over could be a serious problem for Trump. There’s plenty of damning evidence from documents and testimony from former students that the university was a fraudulent scam that deliberately preyed upon financially vulnerable victims. Curiel also ruled that Trump will have to testify under penalty of perjury about his actual net worth.
Warren has been attacking Trump on these charges specifically, and on the bigger idea that he and other Republicans want to attack judges who "don't bend to the whims of billionaires and big businesses."
"You can call Trump a racist or a demagogue or a know-nothing, but what he's really sensitive to is the charge that he isn't as good of a businessman as he appears," writesVox’s Libby Nelson.
So it may not be an accident that Trump is launching explicitly racist attacks against people like Curiel and Warren who risk drawing public attention to issues that Trump would prefer to avoid discussing.

Pocahontas' real name was Matoaka. "Pocahontas" was only a nickname, and it can variously be translated to "little wanton", "playful one", "little brat" or "the naughty one". Debra talks about Native people suffered throughout history, and Pocahontas life was cut short in a terrible way. Pocahantos death was not related to sufferings of Native people .
A Disney movie bears her name and its audience is children.
She was featured on a American stamp.
Descendants of many First Families of Virginia trace their roots back to Pocahontas and her father, Chief Powhatan, including Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, wife of Woodrow Wilson;George Wythe Randolph; Admiral Richard E. Byrd; Virginia Governor Harry F. Byrd; fashion-designer and socialite Pauline de Rothschild.[SUP][69][/SUP][SUP][unreliable source?][/SUP]
She was born and raised in Virginia, and through her father, William Holcombe Bolling, was a ninth-generation descendant of Pocahontas.[SUP][70][/SUP] Her "blood" was introduced to the Randolph family of Virginia via the marriage of her great-great-granddaughter, Jane Bolling, to Richard Randolph.
In July 2015, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe, descendants of the Powhatan chiefdom, of which Pocahontas was a member, became the first federally recognized tribe in the state of Virginia.[SUP][71][/SUP]
As well, in 1907, Pocahontas became the first Native American woman (and indeed the first Native American) honored on a US stamp.[SUP][[/SUP]
Don King, and so many other African Americans who know me well and endorsed me, would not have done so if they thought I was a racist!

PARK CITY, Utah — Mitt Romney laid into the large and rambunctious group of 2016 Republican candidates here on Saturday, arguing that they deserved a share of blame for the rise of Donald Trump.
During a question-and-answer session with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer before around 250 Republican donors gathered here for the Romney-hosted Experts and Enthusiasts summit, the former Massachusetts governor said this year’s group of primary candidates misplayed their hand. By spending months attacking each other and ignoring Trump, he argued, they made a severe tactical error that allowed Trump — who Romney has criticized as a "con man" and a "fraud" — to escape unharmed.
“Their biggest failure was attacking each other and not the frontrunner,” Romney said. “Just politically, I thought that move was not right for them.”
What we have here is a case of pot/kettle. He should have knocked out Obama when he had the chance instead of getting weak in the knees.
