Hoka Hey, It Is a Good Day to Cry

Fuck You Chrump

Indian Country
November 28, 2017

I have been interested in justice for Native Americans for as long as I can remember. I was enamored of them as a child, and studied their history, culture and ceremonies over the years. This land’s original inhabitants got kind of a raw deal beginning in the Fall of 1492. Things went from horrible to worse as the years went by. It has only slowed down because so much of the native population was wiped out by the end of the 19^th Century. But that still was not enough to stop the abuse.



The United States continues to disrespect and harass Native Americans. In one of the most denigrating displays since the intrusion of racist golddigger Christopher Columbus, Navajo Code Talkers, believed by many to have played a pivotal role in winning World War II, were forced to stand dangerously close to an Orange Gas Cloud. The noxious plume in human form, standing in front of a portrait of his favorite president and renowned Indian murdered extraordinaire Andrew Jackson, told the Native American heroes, “You were here long before any of us were here, although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her ‘Pocahontas.’ But you know what, I like you.” 

Three heroes and one zero

 

Someone should tell President Fluffernutter that attempting to insult someone by calling her Pocahontas (particularly in the presence of other native people) is pathetic and racist, and that he himself is nothing more than a partially melted block of Velveeta pasteurized, process, cheese spread. He is certainly no Pocahontas.

Doubly white Sarah Huckabee Sanders explained that the derogatory use of Indian heroine Pocahontas’s name is not in any way related to ethnic malfeasance, calling any such description “ridiculous”. She was supported in her very white, privileged, clueless opinion by the possibly-even-whiter Eric of Chrump, who leapt into the fray by attacking Disney for making the movie Pocahontas. Huh?

President of the Navajo nation Russell Begaye, seemed to disagree with Suckabee Handers and Eric The White, describing Chrump’s verbal vomit, this time dragging Pocahontas into it (for the umpteenth time) something less than honor. According to Begaye, when asked if he felt Chrump’s insult was an “ethnic slur”, replied, “I feel that the way it was used, yes, it was. Pocahontas is a real person. It’s not a caricature, it’s not someone that’s just made up. This is a person, a young lady, a Native American woman that played a critical role in the life of this nation, and to use that person in that way is unnecessary and it’s being culturally insensitive.” Begaye later added, “When you’re in the midst of great heroes, you need to respect them and leave everything else aside and just honor them and thank them.”

You know things are bad when John McCain is the voice of reason:

Too bad we don’t have Navajo Code Talkers to save us
from tyranny and oppression in Chrump’s Amerika
