It’s amazing how loud and wrong some folks willing to be. Less than a tenth of Seminole nation remained in Florida. The vast majority of Seminoles live in Oklahoma. They’ve voted as a counsel numerous times to rebuke the use.
@ddimaggio the chief Osceola thing is ****ed in so many levels it’s not funny. It’s not PC. Seminoles didn’t ride ****ing horses. They didn’t wear war paint. Chief was a diplomat. Seminoles used guns not spears. They didn’t even use ritual spears. It’s a mashup of stereotypes done by some kid in red face so yeah the fact that folks done know A. Where the overwhelming majority of Seminoles love, B. That they didn’t ride horses, C. Anything about the real Chief Osceola and D. Think a literal speerchucker is tribute would all highlight why that shit is wack.
call it PC all ya like but imagine them being the Florida State Zulus and the fans all chanting ooonga boonga some black guy dressed in loincloth with and a daishiki races out on a zebra and throws a flaming spear into the ground And his name is Frederick Douglas and it’s fully endorsed by the Gullah community who in turn receive a windfall, that’s the level of absurdity.
I’m good with this thread.
