That statement is true. Can't imagine being miserable enough to be offended by it.

Arguably there is a lot of drinking. So there's that.

Casinos are pretty much the only thing left after marijuana made peyote obsolete, and Sports started crucifying all the good Indian remnants of team names and mascots, so.....Casinos!!!!!Which were never “Indian “......

CNN has never fired anyone for being stupid that I am aware of.

No need to be like the left and pretend to be appalled.

He shouldn’t have said it. Oh well. He said it.

I mean, it's kind of a dickish thing to say, but yeah...how much of modern American culture is linked to American Indians? In fact, all of the things which I'd point to have either been taken away (Sports team names) or are on the chopping block to be removed, or are considered cultural appropriation of white people do them.

That'd wrong.

When we see something we like, we go take it, just like the natives did.

Hows that controversial? Native American culture isn't in anyway a big part of our mainstream culture.

When the economic system of paper money collapses, we will rely on the Injuns economic model of bartering.

As someone who is 1/16th Native American I am 6.25% offended. It’s true though.... even Native American descendants would agree.

The Indians gave us tobacco and the puritans are even taking that away. Those damned racists.
