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.

'Spouting Bull's' fundraising director quits

Senator Elizabeth "Spouting Bull" Warren's (D-MA) fundraising director has called it quits and has left her 2020 presidential campaign. This leaves her with only her husband and a handful of hardline Native American supporters in her camp as her numbers continue to circle the bowl.

A former newspaper now said to make excellent canary cage liner known as The New York Times,  reported that Warren's finance director, Michael Pratt, was jumping ship because he was hamstrung by the former Native American's decision to refuse big money fundraisers during the presidential primary.

Pratt's decision purportedly came after a "heated" staff meeting on Valentine's Day—less than a week after Warren entered the presidential race and drank a beer on camera after greeting her husband in their own home.

At the meeting, "Pratt noted that campaigns often collapse when they run out of money and begged "Spouting Bull" not to cut off a significant cash stream," the Times reported. "He pointed out that winning over wealthy fund-raisers across the country helped build networks that could translate into political support, not just checks."

Where's good old capitalism when you need it?

Pratt's argument lost out to that of the campaign's chief of staff, Dan Geldon, and digital strategist, Joe Rospars, who contended that abandoning the big donors would help the former Native American stand out in the crowded 2020 field.

What they might have said instead was that the decision might have Warren standing out in a field among the farting cows.

Although Pratt resigned after the meeting, Warren told CNN on Sunday that he was "still a consultant but winding things down." There is no way to fact-check Warren on this claim, but if history teaches us anything, it's that we must take "Spouting Bull's" claims with a grain of maze.

In late February, Warren announced in a Medium post that her presidential primary campaign would be "run on the principle of equal access."

Warren's Mee Maw 

"That means no fancy receptions or big money fundraisers only with people who can write the big checks," the post reads. "When I thank the people giving to my campaign, it will not be based on the size of their donation. It means that wealthy donors won't be able to purchase better seats or one-on-one time with me at our events. And it means I won't be doing ‘call time,' which is when candidates take hours to call wealthy donors to ask for their support. As a candidate for president, the expectation is you make hours of these calls a week and attend dozens of these exclusive events every quarter." Then she added, "I think I'll go now and have me a beer."

No other candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination has taken such a naive pledge. To date, it is unclear if Pratt's concerns will be proved correct as the first quarter fundraising deadline for presidential candidates has yet to pass. Warren's campaign, however, has remained silent in recent weeks over how much her campaign has already raised, but sources close to her have suggested that it's in the tens of hundreds.

Meanwhile, Communist useless person Bernie Sanders [pronounced "Sandahs"] has made good use of capitalism and has garnered over $18 million, compared to what is believe to be Warren's $438.23.

She ought to go out and meet her some butter, 'cause she is toast.

Elizabeth Warren screwing over the 'pale face'

Brockton, Mass. -- Democratic Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, whose Native American name is "Counting Votes," is pushing for a $1 billion luxury casino to honor her tribe in East Taunten, Mass., less than 20 miles from the struggling town of Brockton.

The struggling Brockton is a blue-collar town with its own casino, but with a new one in such close proximity, it will be virtually impossible for it to compete.

Brockton Mayor Bill Carpenter slammed Warren's bill on behalf of the Masphee Wampanoag tribe. The bill would override a federal judge's decision last year to block the tribe's plan for the casino.

Carpenter believes [correctly] that Warren is acting on behalf of special interests rather than on the needs of the struggling town of Brockton and its residents.

Carpenter spoke with the Washington Times: "Year after year we're running multimillion-dollar deficits in our budget. We've laid off schoolteachers for three years in a row. We desperately need the revenue."

A typical liberal solution to the problem would be to just hike taxes on the residents, but you can't get blood from a stone or another dollar from a Brockton resident.

"Counting Votes'" bill is being lobbied by the Genting Group, which has to date poured $400 million into the tribe's First Light Resort and Casino project. However, all of the financing could be lost if the federal government fails to grant the land to the tribe, according to the Washington Times.

Brockton bid for a casino two years ago but it was rejected by the Massachusetts state gaming commission over fears the market would become oversaturated if the Native American tribe wins federal approval. Brockton has since made the bid again.

Perhaps out of guilt over Wounded Knee or the Trail of Tears, the Interior Department could block Brockton's bid as it has begun looking into additional legal avenues the land could be taken in trust on behalf of the tribe, rather than the pale faces of Brockton.

Some East Taunton residents say they don't even want the luxury casino built in their town.

Michelle Littlefield, of East Taunton, along with 25 other town residents, is waging a legal battle to block the casino project. They claim the Interior Department's actions are "designed to give a special-interest group special preference."

Mayor Carpenter welcomes the project for his town. "It's a blue-collar immigrant city where two years ago, 80 percent of the students in our school system qualified for free or reduced lunch," he said. "Our unemployment rate runs about 50 percent about the statewide average historically, and we're a majority-minority city."

The irony here is that it's highly likely the voters in Brockton voted for "Counting Votes." Perhaps getting screwed over by her will change some minds.

Warren previously opposed legalized gambling in her state. But ever since she earned the name "Fauxcahontas" by Trump and his supporters, she's had a hypocritical change of heart.

"Bring on those degenerate gamblers," she cried. "We'll not only take them to the cleaners, we'll scalp them in the process."

Whatever that means.

Sen. Warren sticking by her fable

Sen. Elizabeth "Fauxcahontas" Warren (D-Mass.) is not backing down on her claim about having a Native American heritage, in spite of the fact that she refuses to take a simple "spit-test" to prove it. 

People on both sides of the aisle are calling for her to take the DNA test because her fable doesn't add up.

The senator appeared on "Fox News Sunday" where she was again asked about her [phony] claim to be Native American and she told a tale about how her racist paternal grandparents objected to her parents' wedding because of her mother's alleged Cherokee blood. 

She claims her parents were forced into a "Depression-era elopement."

"You know, my mom and dad were born and raised in Oklahoma, and my daddy was in his teens when he fell in love with my mother," she lied. "She was a beautiful girl [whose looks Elizabeth Warren inherited] who played the piano. And he was head over heels in love with her and wanted to marry her. And his family was bitterly opposed to that because she was part Native American."

And as a result, "eventually my parents eloped," she claimed.

Except they didn't.

The Washington Times reported that Twila Barnes, a Cherokee genealogist, posted in a 2016 blog, that she researched Warren's family and found nothing to corroborate her assertion that she had any Native American ancestry. The wedding of Pauline Reed and Donald Herring, Warren's parents, appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary wedding.

"The problem with Warren's story is that none of the evidence supports it," Barnes wrote. "Her genealogy shows no indication of Cherokee ancestry Her parents' wedding doesn't resemble an elopement. And additional evidence doesn't show any indication of her Herring grandparents being Indian haters."

So it seems that Warren threw her grandparents under the circled wagons.

The wedding was performed by a prominent Methodist clergyman, not a justice of the peace, Barnes found. In fact, she discovered a detailed wedding announcement posted in the local newspaper in Wetumka, Oklahoma. 

"If Ms. Warren's parents eloped due to her mother being 'Cherokee and Delaware' and it was such a disgrace, why did they rush back to Wetumka the same day they were married and proudly announced it to everyone?" Ms. Barnes posited. "If there was shame associated with the marriage and it caused so many problems, why was it happily announced in the local paper?"

Remember, Warren used her make-believe Native American roots while becoming a tenured law professor at Harvard. With the possibility of her running for the presidency in 2020, the Berkshire Eagle newspaper said she should take a DNA test to confirm or dispel the doubts of inquiring minds.

So naturally, Warren now claims she isn't planning to run for president nor will she take the DNA test. She's probably telling a half truth.

"I know who I am because of what my mother and my father told me, what my grandmother and my grandfather told me, what all my aunts and uncles told me, and my brothers," she said, apparently in love with personal pronouns. "It's part of who I am and no one's ever going to take that away."

Because she needs to make us believe that she believes the lie, and how dare we accuse her of lying when it's her personal fable?

But when all is said and done, Elizabeth Warren speaks with forked tongue.

Tillerson and foreign diplomats discuss Syria crisis at G7

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson along with top foreign diplomats held an urgent meeting in Italy to discuss the Syrian crisis. 

The meeting was arranged on the 'sidelines' of the Group of 7 (Russia used to make '8') of "likeminded" countries days after the U.S. struck at Bashar al-Assad for having killed his own citizens with Sarin nerve gas. From that meeting, Tillerson flew to Moscow to meet with Russian leaders (other than Putin) to try convincing them to end their support for the weak chin Assad.

Also meeting with the G-7 countries are diplomats from Jordan, Saudi Arabia (who assist the world in supplying Islamic terrorists), Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and others.

Tillerson hopes to enlist these Middle East countries into helping ensure and stabilize Syria after ISIS is defeated. The meeting lasted an hour.

The Secretary of State hasn't been very visible publicly, but last week's attack had him in front of the media answering questions from reporters about Assad's chemical attack which resulted in the U.S. responding with 59 Tomahawk Cruise missiles.

One libtard politician thought that Native Americans would be insulted that Cruise missiles are labeled 'Tomahawk Cruise missiles' because she believes the tomahawk is unique to Native Americans. But the fact is that tomahawks were created as a general purpose tool used by Native Americans and European colonials. The design was originally based on a Royal Navy boarding axe used as a trade-item with Native Americans for food, etc. That's why liberals are generally stupid when it comes to identity politics.

U.S. officials along with Tillerson have projected a sense of urgency over the brutal Syria crisis but haven't told us how Assad needs to go nor how to protect displaced Syrians. It's also unclear at this time as to the Trump administration's plans for further action with Assad. For all appearances, it seems this policy is still evolving along with the President's change of heart on Syria and isolationism.

"We rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents anywhere in the world," Tillerson said on a visit to Sant'Anna di Stazzema on Monday. It's a Tuscan village where the Nazis massacred over 500 civilians.

So we shall see what lies in store for the world in the coming weeks. Nothing seems to look very bright.

Tribe offers cash to schools to ditch "offensive" Indian mascots

A Michigan Native American Indian tribe is planning to bribe K-12 schools, both public and private, as well as universities and municipalities to replace Indian mascots.

A recent survey found that 35 K-12 schools in Michigan had Native American Indian-themed mascots, including the Indians, the Warriors, the Redskins, the Chiefs, the Big Reds, the Chieftains and the Braves.

The Notawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi (translated: "The Falling Snowflakes on the Murky Pond") said that they would be the first U.S. tribe to help offset the costs of replacing the mascots with a bribe. 

In addition, they ask that the Irish folk group, The Chieftains, call themselves by another name and suggested "The Porcelain Skin Beer Guzzlers."

Princess Summerfall Winterspring, a tribal spokeswoman, said the replacement process of the mascots can be very expensive. A school may have to change the gym floor, athletic uniforms, band equipment, student mindsets and even the official letterhead to its website.

But, she said, if it makes our braves feel better, then it's worth the cost.

The bribe money would be coming from the newly established Native American Heritage Fund, which will start each year at $500,000 in its account.

Other uses for the money will go to improving tribal schools and providing tribal members with good horses and firewater.

Everyone seems so easily offended--I hope you weren't. 

This post wasn't intended to offend, just like Native American mascot names are also not meant to 'hurt feelings. 

In fact, it seems as if the monikers actually honor the Native American.
