Yeah, this guy and the original poster must be so proud of themselves that they can be offended by a materialistic thing when actual courageous people are dealing with real life and death situations.
Yeah, I’m quite proud of myself.
Are you this magnanimous toward Colin Kaepernick for supposedly disrespecting that “material thing” as you say?
What ancestors? Oh man...you’re not gonna be another Norwegian looking fella playing the role of an Indian, are you?
Stop it. I don’t play that “I’m 1/116th Indian and my great great grandma was a Cherokee Princess” nonsense.
Either one of your parents is an Indian at a minimum, or don’t pester me with it. I ain’t try’na hear about some purported ancestor you had that fought with Sitting Bull. That stuff is bunk. 99% of White folks that makes these claims don’t have any Indian blood whatsoever.
Go sit down somewhere. LMAO
Oh you'd LOVE Oklahoma then!
Everybody and their brother claimed Indian blood! If you can prove you have 1/16 of NA blood you can get your CDIB card, and boatload of perks and freebies that go along with that. So of course everyone claimed to be Indian. Even my one neighbor that looked like Powder claimed to be part Indian, something like his great grandmother took a bite of Geronimos corn bread, and is now claiming to be native American!
Idk how they really did determine that, but it got ridiculous

Yep. I could care less what he does with the National Anthem or anything else. Means nothing to me. And go ahead and search my posts, and you will see I have never said anything negative about his kneeling. In fact, I said nothing because it simply doesn't mean anything for me.
Only time I ever got emotional with something like the flag, was the morning after 9/11, I was on my way to work when I was stopped at a signal and then I noticed a major car dealership had the US flag at half staff. That was when it hit me the horrors of the day before, and I cried a good 5 minutes in my car. But it wasn't the flag, it was just what it meant to see it at half staff.

Cool thing about me is that mine really is traceable. My great-grandma and grandma were born and raised on the rez in Lac du Flambeau.

I don’t believe ANY claims to Indian ancestry unless you look like one.

Man, stop it.
I shouldn't have to prove my ancestry to some schlub on an internet forum. All I'll say is that when I moved to Denver 12 years ago I didn't realize just how strong the sun is here and I ended my first summer here looking like the dudes who do our yard work. I bet I get nearly as dark as you.
So if your neighbor flies a bunch of Nazi Flags around his house, you’ll respect it as his right and mums the word, right?
I won't like it but that's his right...he's not harming me or anyone else, I'll look the other way.
