CNN Crossfire host S.E. Cupp pushed back at criticism of the National Football League’s Washington franchise on Friday by insinuating it was a distraction from other issues facing Native American communities.
“Native Americans have real problems,” Cupp told Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC). “Poverty, domestic abuse, high suicide rates.”
Cupp did not mention some House Republicans’ refusal to agree to expand the Violence Against Women Act to include those communities, instead playing a clip of Walter “Red Hawk” Brown rebuking President Barack Obama for weighing in on the issue and saying he would support changing the team’s name from “Redskins.”
“What’s offensive to me is this: we have 11 state recognized tribes,” Brown said in the clip. “And [Obama] hasn’t done one thing to get those tribes federally recognized.”

Racism against Native Americans is accepted in America. Has been for quite a while now just look at how many threads are on this forum making fun of it.

You'd think the 400+ year genocide would be taken a bit more seriously.
Then again, why am I not surprised. Most North Americans can't stand up for themselves, let alone anybody else.

Both sides slaughtered each other.
But it doesn't matter now. Natives get all the free healthcare and perks that they can handle.
