The Republican bias against minorities is extremely well documented.<br /><br />By "tribesman," I assume Hill meant a fellow person of color--a brother-in-arms, so to speak. And not a literal tribesman from Kenya or wherever.<br /><br />He said what he thought about Indian mascots. You're daydreaming if you think he believes anything else. Here it is in case you missed it:<br /><br />Hill is also sensitive to the image of Indians that the rest of America sees. "That damn mascot shit won't ever go away," he says. Like a lot of Native people, Hill finds no honor in those depictions. "It's always on their terms," he says.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-36216320222212138692013-03-27T03:36:16.534-07:002013-03-27T03:36:16.534-07:00All-in-all a rather dubious and racist fellow, wit...All-in-all a rather dubious and racist fellow, with low points including his bigoted insult of Sarah Palin (which is racist in one-way as it is an anti-white racial slur, and in another, as he speaks like he thinks Indians speak like Tonto-style Indians in the movies).... and even worse, his referral to Obama as a "Tribesman", which fits in well with the photoshopped/faked Tea Party photos bashing Obama for being a supposed "spearchucker" from Kenya.<br /><br />I would not have any doubt that he loves mascots that "honor" Natives.<br /><br />As he is a blatant racist, the phrase "stuck on stupid" applies to any such foaming-at-the-mouth bigot such as him.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
