      1. Trump's Pocahontas jibe should be seen as part of his larger project of racial policing.

      2. Because race is fluid historical/social construct, a large part of the work of racism is policing borders. Trump has set himself up as Chief Racial Sheriff.

      4. As Chief Racial Sheriff, Trump displays the full arbitrariness of race, even claiming he has "more Indian blood" than actual Natives.https://twitter.com/NickBaumann/status/935246692907192322 …

      If Donald Trump is angry at people for claiming native ancestry to advance their personal goals, I have some news. http://bit.ly/2BhDDxb  pic.twitter.com/LlIrzCWMsD

          I think use vs mention is important when we address this. He is mentioning the controversy about her lying about being a Native American, not Using a slur. She is not a Native American, and has not claimed to be even after the Globe exposé.

          I’m just asking for one news cycle where we question the basis for this repeated breathless whining. Warren has lied and not faced up to her own evil actions. As a liberal, it infuriates me liberals ignore this.

          Don't forget him bankrolling a lobbyists to spread rumors about native American mob ties, and attacking recognized tribes as 'fake-indians' because they competed with his casino empire. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/donald-trumps-long-history-of-clashes-with-native-americans/2016/07/25/80ea91ca-3d77-11e6-80bc-d06711fd2125_story.html …

          Including @WalshFreedom in this article normalizes jag-offs (it’s a Chicago term of endearment he’s familiar with).
