Latino, Latina, Latinx: Hispanics ready to kick a word into the woke trash bin

It isn't about the minorities the left claims they want to help; it's about the left feeling good about themselves in spite of how minorities [aka the victim class according to the left] feel about the "help" they didn't ask for and generally don't need. 

Native Americans [not including Elizabeth Warren] never voiced a negative reaction to sports teams that with names that referred to them such as the Washington Redskins or the Cleveland Indians, for example. It only became an issue when woke White leftists brought it up as if it was a racist term, and then some Native Americans suddenly saw it as such, because 25 percent of any group of people are boobs with no exceptions. 

For the left, racism is their Swiss Army knife, Kurt Schlichter and others have said.

Rather than going against the woke flow, the Washington Redskins eventually became the Washington Football Team [what creativity] and the Cleveland Indians became the Cleveland Guardians. As a basehall team, one has to wonder just what it is they are guarding--their balls? Their bats?

So while some groups caved to the demands of white woke supremacists who got their demands fulfilled, several Latino organizations are now demanding to effectively cancel the use of the bull crap term "Latinx" in official documents etc., because it isn't a word as far as the people it pretends to refer to see it.

Virtually no one in the Latino community cares a fig for the pretentious 'gender-neutral' term. Spanish, like many other languages, use gender-specific terms and it's insulting for elite progressives to change it and elected officials, and the oldest Latino civil rights organizations in America, and the Miami Herald has spoken out against the term to describe people of Spanish-speaking origin.

The results of their anger is being seen in the way Latino voters have moved away from the Democratic Party, which is a deep matter of concern as their voting block grows much larger. It shows how Latinos want to self-define rather than have outsiders define them. 

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ campaign arm, announced last month his congressional staff is not to use “Latinx” in official communications.

Days after Gallego’s tweet, Domingo García, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, instructed staff and board members to drop the word “Latinx” from the group’s official communications, NBC Latino’s Suzanne Gamboa reported.

The Miami Herald, a left-leaning tabloid, wrote in an editorial last month that liberals needed to stop using the term primarily because it wasn’t popular with Latinos, but more importantly, that it helped the GOP make inroads with the Latino community, especially in Florida, a critical battleground state.

The Latino community is finally beginning to see that Democrats would rather be "woke" than be concerned about them.

Kansas City Footballers 'retire' Warpaint mascot as team plans to educate us

Although the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL have no immediate plans to change the teams highly offensive name [to woke Marxists who find everything offensive], they announced this week that they're going to stop showcasing a horse mascot named "Warpaint." This racist horse, or is it the name that racist . . . or perhaps the person(s) who named it, would come out at the start of games galloping around the field on game day as its rider would make Native American war cries and hunt scalps to take from "white man with  heap big fire sticks."

“We feel like it’s time to retire Warpaint,” said woke Chiefs president Mark Donovan at training camp on Monday. By "we," he means him and the cancel culture. “A lot of reasons for that, but we feel like it’s the right thing to do. Warpaint won’t be running at Arrowhead (Stadium) anymore.”

This is a slap in the face to Native Americans, formerly known as Indians. They are a proud people whose history of tribal warfare and land grab goes back to ancient times. The name "Warpaint" not only doesn't bother or offend them; they see it as a tribute to their past. 

The Chief's woke move came three days after the Major League Baseball team in Cleveland changed its name from the Indians to the Guardians, the dumbest name they could possibly come up with and an insult to those adults acting as guardians to their progeny. 

Donovan said the Chiefs have no plans to change their name, but would continue collaborating with “a really good American Indian working group that provides us real guidance and feedback and perspective on this issue.” 

Yes, Donovan said 'Indian.'

“We’re going to continue to create opportunities to educate, create awareness and work exactly as we have over the past eight years now with the working group,” Donovan said, because we of the un-woke need to know about how American settlers took the land from the Native Americans . . .  who took the land from other Native Americans . . . who took the land from other Native Americans . . .

The Chiefs announced prior to the 2020 season of covid that they will bar fans from entering the stadium wearing headdresses or face paint that honors Native Americans. 

The Star reported, “A Native American named Bob Johnson used to ride Warpaint before games…dressed in a war bonnet, with warpaint on his face.” Now no Native Americans will be permitted to glorify their past thanks to Donovan, who is regarded by many Native Americans as a horse's ass.

“I started in 1963, and I went just about 20 years as the only rider,” Johnson told FOX4 during an interview last year. “I wore out three horses.”

According to FOX4, Johnson said it was Chiefs late owner Lamar Hunt “who came up with the idea of an Indian, complete with headdress, riding around after every touchdown.”

The custom continued until 1989 when new management decided to replace Warpaint with a mascot called KC Wolf. 

However, Warpaint returned twenty years later, in 2009, for the franchise’s 50th anniversary. But when the Chiefs re-introduced Warpaint, the horse was ridden by a cheerleader with big American breasts instead of a man donning a traditional Native American headdress.

Many Indians were upset due to the disrespect the management showed by not allowing a real Indian to ride. They feel disrespected and marginalized by the Kansas City Chiefs.

America haters block road leading to Mount Rushmore ahead of Trump's event

You really have to hate America to fall in line with most of the protesters, especially the anarchists who tear down statues regardless of the person's full history it represents. Clearly, if any of these people had even half the scrutiny our founders and other leaders had, they would be cancelled faster than an Israeli olympic sprinter in an ISIS camp. But as long as protests are peaceful, they are fully sanctioned under the Bill of Rights, and rightly should be.

But what does peaceful mean? Does it give one license to prevent those who aren't protesting from their freedom of movement to wherever they're going?

Protesters blocked an access road to Mount Rushmore Friday, merely hours before "bad orange man" Trump was set to give a speech to kick off Independence Day weekend.

According to the Associated Press, the protest group was mostly Native Americans protesting that South Dakota’s Black Hills were taken from the Lakota people against treaty agreements.

But if you check history, the Lakota [aka Sioux] took that land from the Cheyanne, and they had taken the land from the Kiowa. But typical of all the plains Indians, even the Kiowa were a warrior people who frequently battled both with their neighbors and tribes well beyond their territory. They were quite famous for their long-distance raids, and even went as far south as Mexico and up to the northern plains.

Then we have the Tonkawa tribe originally thought to have originated in Central Texas, but recent findings has shown the tribe inhabited northwestern Oklahoma as late as 1601, but by 1700, the more aggressive Apache tribe pushed them south to the Red River.

And so on.

War and conquest has been a part of human history since the first stone was thrown. The spoils of war have always gone to the victor. If you don't believe me, just look at the history of Muhammad and his band of roving conquerors and plunderers. And they didn't just get land, they got booty and slaves. Yet somehow, we're supposed to hate the imperfect people who founded this great nation.

It's ridiculous and self-aggrandizing.

Anyway, back to the protesters.

One group parked three vans across the road and took the tires from two of them to make it more difficult to remove them. Several demonstrators climbed on top of the vans chanting “Land back!” Police warned the protesters to disperse but twiddled their police officer thumbs, doing nothing but talk.

The sheriff’s office said attendees had been told to arrive early so should have been past the roadblock. However, the Rapid City Journal reported that some motorists who had tickets for Friday evening’s fireworks show were unable to get through the protests and were standing by their cars watching the standoff.

The Journal reported that law enforcement in riot gear as well as members of the National Guard had arrived on the scene and declared it an unlawful assembly. Thumbs continued twiddling, and voices hummed as crickets were heard laughing at the scene.

The news outlet reported that the lower bowl of the amphitheater where the President was scheduled to speak at approximately 8:50 p.m. local time was full, but there were many empty seats in the upper level.

Protesters do not want to allow conservatives to hear conservative speech. That's why they block roads, infiltrate conservative speaker engagements to create havoc. They don't believe any opposing opinion versus theirs, has any value. And yet they call conservatives science deniers.

Trump's speech was very good. The only problem I noticed with it was when he referred to Stonewall Jackson as "the great Stonewall Jackson." Let us not pretend Jackson didn't have problems with race relations. But perhaps CNN and the other cretin networks will go after him for something else.

Have a wonderful, safe, patriotic Fourth of July everyone!
