First of all, we “indigenous people” do NOT consider ourselves “Brown”. We are Red, and proud of it!

Given that his last name is Romero, I'm guessing he has some significant Mexican heritage, and his worldview is more informed by that than his AmIndian heritage, to whatever extent he has that. As with Warren, far too many people claim AmIndian heritage for political purposes.

"Americans as a whole are too ignorant of the country’s past colonial violence against Native and African Americans"

Slavery existed in the South? Jim Crow laws existed nationwide? We fought wars against the Indians, broke treaties, and put them on reservations? Really? Never heard about it.

Yes Indeed.

Ward Churchill is another one.

Americans as a whole are too ignorant of the country’s past colonial violence against Native and African Americans and current world affairs...

He's got a point. I only get reminded of this about 10x a day.

We need a reminder every hour on the hour...

"Women, minorities, kids, Muslims need not apply."

What drivel. When the "minority" enemy is evil enough to put women and children in the role of human bombs or assassins, they give us no choice but to respond. But it's moronic to suggest that killing individuals in these extraordinary circumstances can somehow be equated with a general hatred of women, children, or minorities.

The late great Commanche author David Yeagley once pointed out that the typical Indian’s love for his guns, hunting, pickup truck and freedom, made him “more redneck than redskin”.

This Romero must have been raised on “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” while admiring Sasheen Littlefeather from afar & declaring “You call it corn, WE call it MAIZE!”

This author is a piece of work. An Indian “artist”, he is a member of a tiny New Mexican pueblo tribe; but he, personally was born in Berkeley. Then he went to Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.

I know a lot of Indians from the Navajo, Apache, and other warrior tribes. Their comments about American Sniper could be expressed as the following:

1) I want a rifle like that.
2) (various exploits of relatives who fought over there.)
3) The fighting is better in Afghanistan.

"swinging dick meat eaters"

I'm proud to be a swinging dick     meat eater. I suppose this guy is proud to be a swinging dick meat     eater.

We're all the same. It just depends on where you pause.

LOL...more redneck than redskin! that would be me! hahaha!

[Steve_Seattle]

"He belongs to an elite white male cadre of swinging dick meat eaters . . . "

Kind of strange for a Native to use "meat eater" as an epithet. There may have been a vegetarian Native tribe somewhere, but I never heard of one. Or maybe he's using "meat eater" in some other context. Who knows what this idiot thinks.

I thought LSD went out of style decades ago.

I took my brown Native high school-aged son to see it.

Brown?

I thought they were all Redskins.

Megyn Kelly just had some fatazz from the Arab Defamation league on who wanted Eastwood and Cooper to come out and denounce violence against Muslims because of the movie.

The fatazz said there were violent sounding internet posts who cited this movie as why.

Yeah right, it was probably muzzies who posted them so they could pull this stunt.

I am soooooooooooo sick of this muzzie crap!

[Finny]

And Eastwood is a genius.

Amen. A gift from the Almighty.

Clint Eastwood is a national treasure.

They were able to do a great job of splitting off the black male with ADC. So well that young AA males are now compensating, hypersensitive about being ‘dissed’ and fighting to protect their manhood by shooting each other.

"He belongs to an elite white male cadre of swinging dick meat eaters ..."

Yep, that's me. Fightin' Whitey ... When we get all worked up, whole CONTINENTS burn. Don't forget it, jackass.

LOL!!! Bump!!!
