The white European woman who spent most of her adult life pretending to be an Indian princess to advance her career would like to remind you that white European “colonizers” have taken so much from the Native Americans. In the self-awareness fail of the week, Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren is celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day by pretending she isn’t the worst example of a paleface stealing from the American Indians since the Trail of Tears. She would also like to use our money to issue an official apology for some of this stuff.
Today is Columbus Day, which is meant to celebrate they guy who discovered the Americas several centuries after the Vikings found them. On the left however, Christopher Columbus was a genocidal madman who brought the destruction of the native inhabitants so they instead observe Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which is meant to celebrate being a whiny leftist kook.
Speaking of which, here’s cultural appropriator Elizabeth Warren giving the white man a bunch of crap for something she’s more guilty of than any other living American:
The story of America’s mistreatment of indigenous peoples is long and painful. And yet, Native communities have proven resilient. We owe them our respect—and we must honor our government’s commitments and promises to them. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Nothing shows respect to Native Americans more than pretending to be Indian in order to get a promotion as a “diversity hire” does it, Liz?
We must fulfill our trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations. We must protect Tribal sovereignty and self-determination. And we have to go even further to empower indigenous peoples to build stronger communities and a brighter future. https://t.co/WKMjPKTvDu

Yeah, Warren has yet another reparations plan to throw all of our money at an issue none of us had anything to do with. Here’s an idea: how about Warren uses her own money to apologize to American Indians for the harm she caused them by stealing their culture for personal gain?
I’m not sure if you caught this across the 2 tweets but first Warren says Native Americans are “resilient” and then she suggests they are unsuccessful people who live in failed communities. Which is it? Are they a strong proud people or a bunch of losers who are incapable of taking care of themselves?
Warren actually answers that question because she wants to give Native Americans tons of our money so they can be strong and have a bright future. Making this the silliest most democratic thing ever is that she’s saying we have to give them our money to make them “self-determined.” Dependency on the government doesn’t create self-sufficiency nor does it make Tribal nations sovereign.
Dumping truckloads of taxpayer money on tribal lands doesn’t empower native Americans, it enslaves them. It makes them wards of the state who can’t do anything for themselves. Besides, they seem to be doing alright with those Indian casinos, why do we need to subsidize them any further?
I get it that Elizabeth Warren’s entire reason for running for president is take as much of our money as possible and give it people who don’t deserve it, but maybe, given her personal history, she should have taken Indigenous Peoples’ Day off from the redistribution of wealth crusade. This kind of like celebrating MLK Day with Racheal Dolezal or Holocaust Remembrance Day with Ilhan Omar.
