Navajo Dares Sue Urban Outfitters over Tribal Names
If you give foreigners an inch, they will take a mile. Today we see how true this statement is as the Navajo Indians are taking on the good American company Urban Outfitters.
In trial news you can read here, the Navajo Tribe Nation is upset with a new line of clothing from Urban Outfitters. All of this started when Urban Outfitters simply sold some nice underwear and whiskey flasks with the name “Navajo” on them. Now how it that offensive at all? Are they trying to deny that just like our friends the blacks like fried chickens, the Navajos don’t love them some fire water? I’m confused.
I thought such historical accuracies would be praise, but not in Obama America! Apparently, all Indian tribes have a right to use their name before any American companies, even though it was an American who named them all! If it were not for Christopher Columbus and his sidekick America Vespucci, this land would still be savage!
Wild grizzlies roaming the heartland! British redcoats enslaving everyone brown! No God blessing the crops and soil of the land from sea to shining sea! Just pure savagery!
But, America was given this promised land and turned it into the most promising country. And in our infinite wisdom and mercy, we let foreign people live on our land so I don’t really see what the big deal is here. We scratch our backs and you scratch ours. Urban Outfitters is just trying to clothe our suburban kids with something hip and trendy without them having to go to the hood to get the threads. What’s wrong with that, Daddio Jack?
Just like my hip statement there kids today want to be hip, cool cats. It’s just the trend for them to have pride in our friends the Navajo. Urban Outfitters was surely just trying to keep the kiddios happy and clothed, so really,what’s the big deal in all this?

The Indians, or Native Americans, are crafty. Not only in the beautiful rug weaving and jewelry making arts, but in business.
The recent commercials offering usury interest rates for payday loans is one example (139.34% with 36 payments).
From day one, the Native Americans have tried to hoodwink the white man. When the first English settlement was formed, Powhatan, leader of a confederation of tribes around the Chesapeake Bay gifted the settlers an area of swamp land that guaranteed crop failure and disease.
Don’t trade nickles with them.

Please read before you spout your nonsense, Dragqueen.
“English Settlement” would not be reference to the Spanish funded Italian explorers, it would be Jamestown. I think we know who failed history. It wasn’t me.

Why might you be calling me a Drag queen? I wasn’t talking about the goddamn English settlements. I was talking about how he though Amerigo Vespucci was Christopher Columbus’s fucking sidekick when Amerigo Vespucci was the guy who proved that Christopher didn’t make it to India.

Well, history doesn’t appear to be Dragonman’s strong suit. He thinks the Phoenicians were African.

They were African. We have proof that they were from areas near Palestine. Hell, they were described as having dark skin in Roman records.

The CEO of this company is one of us. He’s a Christian conservative and an all around lovely felow. I have never been in this shop but looking at some photos online, I can’t say it’s my style. A little bit shabby, no?

Sometimes stereotypes are true for a reason. Indians are horrible alcoholics and most often involved with petty crime.

Stereotypes only have a SMALL base of being true, using that to describe each and every single person of a particular race IS racism since you’re assuming that they ALL partake in something stupid.

Didn’t you guys, you know, kill them, rape them, enslave them, take their land and say it belongs to you guys, and give them tiny patches of land in exchange?

No we traded.
They gave us land and we gave them shells we picked up on the ground.

On a sort of ” We need the land” point of view, that would have been the most logical solution

History aptly records the insatiable greed of the red man and their many forked-tongued deceptions they used to keep all the land for themselves and to deny the great Anglo leaders who purged forward to bring about Manifest Destiny even enough ground to lay railroad track. And what did we do? We caved in and give them some of the best prime real estate in the US, rich in mineral resources and teaming with wildlife. And look what they did with it… turned it into a heathen wasteland where wildlife no longer exists after years of Indian rape and abuse, and no one would ever want to live.
