What do Jane Fonda, Ted Turner, Jimmy Carter, and Scott Brown’s staffers all have in common?
Remember the political fall out at Jane Fonda when she and her husband, Ted Turn, sat in the stands at the Atlanta Braves games doing the Tomahawk Chop? Have we gone that far afield that it is now perfectly ok?
If they family says they have an Indian grandmother, then I suppose they do. Most people I know are proud of their Indian heritage. Often it isn’t provable because old records and bibles don’t keep track of native people. At any rate, who is Scott Brown to say who Elizabeth Warren’s ancestors are?
Of all the things I have seen come up in an election, this one is the most foolish. The fact that staffers are out chopping smacks of racism. It isn’t so much the chop, its the attitude around it.
People of different races and religions have often been reviled in this country. It’s time to stop doing that. Given the treatment oof American Indians in this country, I would just find something else for my campaign war chest.
