Mother Jones magazine’s Editor in Chief has accused the “tomahawk” missiles that were fired at Syrian airbase last week of cultural appropriation that “must enrage a lot of Native Americans”.

Clara Jefferey a prominent editor at the liberal magazine tweeted over the weekend that the name “tomahawk” given to missiles is cultural appropriation of Native American culture.

“That the missiles are called tomahawks must enrage a lot of Native Americans [sic],” she tweeted.

Having Native American heritage, I for one am proud of the name of the missiles.

Fortunately Americans whose ancestors were here before white Europeans aren't as whiny as liberal white women.

these people seek outrage. it satisfies them, they need Nazis, racists, xenophobes for their costume to be relevant.

to that end, Donald trump is the greatest thing to happen to SJWs ever.

this is one of those comments that are so stupid that had it been a random twitter account, it would have been accused of being an "alt-right sock puppet". luckily, the author is a legit editor for a legit progressive outlet, so that dog won't hunt

Hopefully, one side-effect of Trump's victory will be a successful blowback against this phony, agenda-driven concept of political correctness. It's nothing but a mechanism used to establish "gotcha" moments for the majority (white) population.

I'll never forget, during that infamous GOP debate on FOX, when Trump responded to Megyn Kelly and said, "I don't have time for political correctness."

Imo, that was a very underrated moment of the entire election cycle.
