Our rulers are.
Let’s wipe native Americans from our history. They were never here before the White Man wiped them out! Just sayin...
I wonder if Commiefornia has already done so.

More control through the use of lawfare by the democrat party. This is what CWII looks like, folks.
how about Fighting Whiteys?
Maybe we can name our teams the Thugs, the Hoodies, the dealers, or how about the pimps.! Yeah, that's it, the "Cincinnati Pimps"..!!! I like it..
So let it be written, so let it be done....
The exception for tribal schools should be challenged. Make them choose full censorship or none instead of allowing them to virtue signal.
What part is Cherokee? Just curious.
I'm part Native American...and I could not care a wit about names.

A proud tribe well known for their plumbing skills.
‘Chief’ is not a Native American word, it’s a French word.
I don’t mind Notre Dame being called the fighting Irish. It’s a man made non issue, for the rats 🐀 to virtue signal. Screw them.
