The descendents of slaves owned by the Cherokee are now pleased.

An 1809 census found that 583 black slaves were held by Cherokee slave owners. By 1835, that number had risen to 1,592, with over seven percent of Cherokee families owning slaves.

Jeep should announce they are dropping the Grand Cherokee name due to the tribe being former slave owners.

You can directly link every single thing that black people freak out over to how much free shite they’ll get in return. They gots to get on that Indian gubment money and scholarship money.

If big mama on the left spent 1% as much time working as she does scheming up how to get something relatively worthless for free she’d be a millionaire

Chrysler is too busy shoehorning the HellCat engine in a minivan right now to care about much of anything.

Laugh, but I would seriously consider this.

Naming of the jeep for the Cherokee nation was to honor the tribe.

The tribe however had slaves, which is reprehensible. The jeep refuses to be named in honor of such a tribe with such a sordid past.

Huh...I have yet to see this come up in my viewing of Longmire on Netflix. Maybe I haven't reached that storyline yet?

This type of thing is why the EBCI hardly acknowledges them.

There was this old black guy I used to work with who said he was Indian and I always figured he was full of shite. But he would go to the yearly meetings and dance around and shite.

Satire is easy these days. It basically writes itself.

Black folk have a history of claiming “native” heritage and history. See the Lumbee “tribe” in NC.

Besides, they have more pressing issues, like Jeep using their name.

I think the story is relevant. My children are EBCI. By blood quantum.

It also shows where the Cherokee Nation now ranks its own citizens on the list of approved victims.

Behind blacks.

The Cherokee Nation is lost. And broke.
