I am a PoC, but not Native American, but close. I appreciate greatly the points you are making.

However, it was Trump that called our sister Elizabeth Warren, whom I admire and love beyond measure, "Pocahontas". It was Trump who slammed Joe Biden for being "sleepy" and "slow" etc, challenging his mental abilities. It was Trump that mocked the reporter in 2016 for physical issues.

Trump, and not you, I, our ancestors, Joe, Elizabeth or the reporter, put all this in play. It goes RIGHT to the heart of his hypocrisy. And turning this around on its head is not racism...it is belittling the racism/sexism/etc that was at the center of Trump, his words, and his deeds.

That you and I don't see perfectly eye-to-eye on this is understandable. Out of respect to you and others, and your positions on this, this will be my last post on this subject given the concerns you have outlined.

Peace and love, my friend. We're all in this together.
