Trump tweets Racist Slur 'Pocahontus' referring to Senator Elizabeth Warren

The only way they would take action would be if right-thinking individuals who ALSO drive traffic to the platform agreed, mutually, to all abandon their accounts en masse at once in protest. That's the only way it would happen. And they won't do that.
Essentially they need to do what the GAF community did in response to Evilore. They need to do that to Twitter in response to their protection of Trump.
I wasn't attacking that user; I was inspired by their post. I'll edit to clarify.
Thats happening for quiet some time.
Guess he could break all rules there are and still be untouched.

The best time to do this should've been right after he was elected, damn.

The decision on Sergeant Bergdahl is a complete and total disgrace to our Country and to our Military.
Thanks to his tweets, lol.

native people get shit on all the time, but since we're such a small population, our issues or racial slurs get overlooked. Look at the damn sports team logos -_-
Zero. One quick glance at this forum's guidelines and he wouldn't even want to register.
Still baffles me how this clown is leading a nation, especially one as big as the US.
Decades from now, his presidency will be regarded as a black spot in America's history.

This guy...
...is the president of the free world...
I'm still shaking my head is disbelief.
If Trump didn't have Twitter he'd probably just have a daily YouTube video or some shit with his ramblings also aired on Fox News.
It's a touchy subject and it's obviously really bad to claim being something in order to get an advantage, but what is the line to say "Ok, now he is legit indigenous and deserve to get the reparation".
In the case of Elizabeth Warren, we don't have any element to think that she did that in order to gain something out of this. She could have done that as a political statement or because she feel really strongly about her heritage. The 16th part is irrelevant, it's not like it get diluted. Or you're have native ancestry or you don't. Of course, if you have the indigenous phenotype you'll experience a lot of thing that if you get the white phenotype, but it's all very accidental.

Calling your president "the leader of the free world" is arrogance beyond the pale.
I don't think it's arrogance but it's certainly less accurate than it was was since the 40's till about a year ago.
Nah it's arrogance. He's the president of a country. That's it. The world is a lot bigger than America :)
Oh, I just noticed he said "president of the free world," not the traditional "leader of the free world."
Agreed.
I say everybody migrates en masse to a new social media platform in protest. C'mon it worked great here!
Canadian, and I meant Leader of the free world... That's my bad...
Yes. Let's say a White Father has a son that starts to hangout with Black people or whatever and then he says to his son "oh so you're a "N" now huh?"
Would that not be racist? While not on the same level as the N word, the intent seems clear to me and it's the use that is a problem.
Unfortunately the reason Trump keeps doing this is because it polls well. Warren's numbers among non-Democrats cratered after the Native gaffe started spreading. It plays well into one of White Middle America's big "fears" about Democrats: that they supposedly exploit identity and race to benefit themselves at the expense of "hard working" whites.
Nothing really stopping Trump from tweeting and his followers gobbling it up though.
Or moving to a new platform for that matter.
It's not really arrogance when the US has the largest military and economy. Everyone has to pay attention to what the US does. And Trump also hasn't changed that
Actually it's arrogange to claim that because it's false. China has the largest military in the world, and the EU has the largest economy.
Her entire claim was that her ancestors were Native American which is such a non issue.
But spouting stuff like Pocahontus is the equivalent of calling someone with Hispanic heritage Pedro.
And this country has a long history of white people claiming to be 1/12th Cherokee in order to take land from Native Americans. Look at the way land deals were executed in the West.
Trump is an asshole though. He only cares about this issue as much as his racism can paint Warren, one of his critics, as a hypocrite.
I've read estimates that Trump generates up to $2 billion in annualized ad revenue for twitter. Twitter is a profit-oriented enterprise, it may be social 'media' but it isn't and never was a news service that should be held up to some kind of standard. It has no standards. It's inundated with porn and trolls. What's one more troll?
Since I'm not American and since my allegiance is in opposition to the west in general, I find the entire situation highly amusing.

"What's up everybody it's your boy Donald T. here!"
"Be sure to like and subscribe!"
It really says a lot about Trump and his base that, to them, it should be considered an insult to be anything other than 100% white. In a way, this is Trump admitting he's a white supremacist as clearly as anything else.
Ok let's just think through this: Twitter reported FY 2016 revenue of $2.5Bn. Donald Trump is not responsible for $2Bn of it.
Ah, seems it is in overall valuation: http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/20...orth-2-billion-to-twitter-analyst_a_23154907/

Nah that would mean you think of him as anything important. He's an unfunny orange clown. He deserves no recognition.
He is referring to her identifying as Native American in the past yes. Warren did not get into law school because she claimed to be a minority. I think it's ok to disagree with what Warren did in the past, but, calling her "Pocahontas" which is a racial generalization term used on Native Americans, is completely out-of-line for anybody let alone the President. And like Trump really cares about that anyway. It's just an easy name for a bully to use.
