I also think it is very strange that they have DHS billboards up with Jim Thorpe on them. Like, what's with the carefully chosen ethnic hero from a time nobody remembers being promoted by the government of the united states that continues to be horrible to native americans?

The irish parallel is not that different, it diverges significantly now of course, but they were basically the test state for english colonial oppression, which influenced american expansionism. The irish were fat, drunken, lazy savages with clubs and red hair whose land was forfeit to the english because of a war between nobles. When a potato famine struck and killed millions the english let it happen, and then distributed lpamphlets throughout the populace (that nobody could read) talking about basically "personal responsibility" in the parlance of our time, that they were lazy and drunk and they were starving because they wouldn't work hard enough all the while parading around what is the genesis of the Notre Dame logo, this idiotic irish buffoon that was constantly at odds with English gentility and common decency. Modern irish were the "sick man of europe" for decades and faced their own discrimination and hardships--the war of independence, the IRA and Northern Ireland-- that were created by the legacy of colonial oppression. Only very recently has Ireland seen "prosperity." In the case of the american irish, they immigrated to america over a period of decades, and were initially met with much dirision, because of the color war in this country they were eventually absorbed and diffused amonst the white population. So we have silly crap like fighting irish and yahoos on st. patrick's day, is this really that terrible to me? Not really. Do i think we can assimilate between color and culture? Yes, absolutely, it's integral for survival. Do I think we are there now? LOL NO. |

drawing conclusions about a hypothesis based on the data gathered can be called "rational faith". Replace that phrase with "logical conclusion" and you'll see that you are not disagreeing with me but are objecting to the word "faith"

When compared to the problems that take place there every day, yeah it's a smaller issue, but it's still an issue to the people. And it's not a fucking "hat". Because of the problems that are faced, this makes our sacred regalia even more important to us.

shouldn't assimilation occur before the flippant and ignorant cultural appropriation?
