I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
I have family in the north east and they led me to believe that Americans were 30% Irish 20% Italian 10% Jewish and the rest were a mix of African American and some Asian.
Unironically African Americans are probably the most American of all ethnicities in the US. They have been here longer than most races, fought in every US war, and contributed more to the culture than say lame ass Irish-Americans (blues,jazz,sports, rock n roll, fashion)
Its clear hyperbole meant to farm karma. I doubt any real American Indian would would agree with the statement, but boy are people getting WOKE in the comments trying to defend it.
This is so fucking stupid to read that I had to read it again twice while just hating the text and every moron who went ahead and upvoted this cunt piece of a comment. How do you type this down without thinking about what you’re saying? Do you want OP to research what Native Americans called themselves in their own language just so he could be more “technically correct” (not really, only in your head maybe) and confusing 80%+ of Redditors because they have no idea what that means in the first place? Get the fuck out of here with that logic please
The United States of America was a European diaspora nation contrived by English intellectuals. Random native tribes that happened to live in various parts of the land (warring with each, not unified, and never staying for long) aren't really conducive to the national entity of "America".
Before that it was a bunch of different tribes living on a continent. I don't think they had agreed on a single name for the land but even if they did it probably wasn't America.
HAHA this family looks fine and happy, which is great. If some gay family posted picture of a their happy family, I would think the same thing, the same way as I would if a white family did.
Crazy that people can hate on a family unit like that.
Didnt this same website laugh at other certain groups who got defeated with military might? Literally mocking them for losing a war while mocking their heritage and culture?
So yeah idc. They got wrecked worse than the confeditards. Who literally cares?
ITT whites and native americans get offended over being called "American." Meanwhile the LGBGT and single parents get offended over the use of "traditional family." Interacial couples get offended over the lack of diversity. Feminists get offended over the unequal distribution of feathers between the parents pointing to the evil patriarchy. Which one are YOU?
i accidentally posted this but im not retarded so im not gonna delete my comment. if you downvote my comment and then read this please go back and un downvote my comment k thx bye
Growing up near a big reservation, a lot of the native kids at my high school had those "Homeland Security: Fighting terrorism since 1492" shirts, featuring a photo of Geronimo and his insurgency homies. It's a boomer-tier slogan, but I always thought they were kind of cool. Also we were nowhere near Apache country so the reference fell kind of flat.

It’s a masterful hit. Most Americans would think the picture is retarded, but Reddit is what it is

He's not wrong, the whole "peaceful American Indian" is a myth. They were savages and Euros bringing alcohol to them has been their biggest blessing.

At least half of those kids were alcoholics.
1 TrailerParkBride 2019-05-23
Definitely in more of a weed & meth area. Plenty of kids drank, but the really fucked ones were tweakers.

Human sacrifice is an American tradition.
