@AndrewSPotts It's one of many common expressions that are historically rude, insensitive, or a slur, like the name of the DC football team.
Unfortunately, the meaning of the #OffTheReservation expression used by Sen Clinton is as bad as you'd think. #Failhttp://tinyurl.com/zzfz73e

@ndngenuity@AndrewSPotts A metaphor meaning to deviate from what is expected or customary; to behave unexpectedly or independently. -
@Yukongirl61
@AndrewSPotts Easy to understand what was meant, but the metaphor used is rooted in systemic historic racism. -
@ndngenuity@AndrewSPotts I understand, but Hillary is such a wonk that how she termed it was in the context of Politics & Trump. Bad choice -
@Yukongirl61
@AndrewSPotts This is white privilege speaking. Own it. What she said was unjustifiable & she has not apologized. That's it.
