Posted on May 9, 2011 at 4:41pmI have the tendency to agree that naming the Seal Special Operation to kill OBL “ Geronimo ” wasn’t to well thought out by those who plan such military actions . Geronimo was one of the very last Native America holdouts to oppose the extinction of the great culture that ruled the American continent for hundreds of years.
Report Post »I’m a 72 year old American of the Heinz 57 variety, with the blood of several european ethnic groups running in my veins, mixed with the Native American Kwahadi Comanche Band that roamed and ruled much of the Texas plains for centuries.
My father was forced to attend a Boarding School in Texas excluively for Native Americans and prohibited from attending schools for “whites” because of his Native American Heritage despite the fact that his father was a “ white” highly respected Texas lawman. The main goal behind this segregation was the complete eradication of all Native American or “ Indian ” cullture from the only real Americans.
Having said all this, I think Native Americans should take pride in the naming of military weapons with names such as “ Tomahawk ”for missile systems and “ Apache ” for attack helicopters. I’m not in the least offended by such a practice, to the contrary, I feel it honors the bravery and courage of our Native American people who fought so fiercely and proudly to preserve their culture and way of life.

Posted on May 9, 2011 at 8:54amI suggest we eliminate all references and names of Native Americans from all weapon systems, Football and Baseball teams and anything else with their names to appease the tiny minority of Progressive Political Corrective nazis. You would then see such an outpouring of outrage from the majority of American natives that the PC police would have to shut their mouths and open their minds.

Posted on May 9, 2011 at 8:51amWhen someone jumps out of an airplane and shouts “Geronimo!”, he’s asserting his bravery. Thus, the name of Geronimo became associated with achieving something important. The assignment of that name for the EVENT of capturing/killing bin Laden does not “equate” the two men. But if your political power is derived from perpetual victimhood, there can be no other explanation.

Of course, if any group objects to being honored like this we can always use another word or phrase. Let’s see “Geronimo” could be “Amerigo” for instance.

It’s part of the MORE BACKWARD you are, the more we are supposed to “honor” you. Most primitive subsistence-living cultures are anything but awesome. They lived hand-to-mouth by expediency. Nature dominated them, not vice versa. They didn’t use “every part of the buffalo” because they were conservationists, they did it by NECESSITY.

Posted on May 9, 2011 at 1:34pmRemember when the Irish were treated as TRASH? This hurt my feelings too, but I got over it when I realized most of us have been treated poorly since the beginning of America. Read some true History of America and it’s people from all over the world and what they put up with. Trail of Tears may have been the saddest event against the Cherokees, but they did get the oil in Oklahoma, paid for by the many, many lives lost during that forced march. I cry thinking about it.
I also remember about 10 years ago all the brew-ha-ha over Indian names for high school football teams and how they had to scramble to change names. So Stupid! Indian names merely give credit and a sense of pride to the teams using these names. What’s so bad about that?

Posted on May 9, 2011 at 6:33pmI think using these names is powerful.
The words, names are meant to instill fear in the heart of enemies.
You don’t hear of any weapons etc names…. the peewee herman or the tooth fairy…

Posted on May 9, 2011 at 6:40pmIt seems to me that indigenous Americans were much better at worshiping the Great Spirit than anyone else for the longest period of time. Makes sense to me, and I would be surprised if 500 years from now if it isn’t as it was before the Europeans came to America.

Posted on May 9, 2011 at 6:40pmAnd as for the code name “Geronimo”, code names are not necessarily chosen to send a message or make a point. Code names are chosen for their uniqueness and relative innocuous nature.
At most, “Geronimo” is a nod to the fact that Bin Laden fought against the US just as Geronimo did. Is that racist? No. It is a cold, hard fact. Facts cannot be racist.
In short, knock it off.

Posted on May 9, 2011 at 6:43pmEXACTLY. These activists need to take pride that our most dangerous operations and most awesome weapons bear the names of their greatest ancestors ( who would probably be disgusted these are their descendants). Pathetic and shameful.

Posted on May 9, 2011 at 7:21pmAmerica isn’t racist…NATURE IS RACIST!
Clearly blacks are too stupid to complete with the other races for jobs as jet pilots, doctors, nuclear scientists, dentists, etc..etc..etc…
come on people…wake up! We lower the standards for ALL jobs just to get blacks to meet the minmium standards and they still can’t do it.
It’s time we all accept the obivous fact they clearly are NOT on the same intellectual level as the rest of us.
Stop giving them Food Stamps!
Stop givng them Section 8 Housing!
Stop giving them welfare!
Stop giving them free lunch!
Stop giving them Aid to Family with Dependent Children!
Start Repatraiting them back to their natural jungle African habitat!

Posted on May 9, 2011 at 9:07pmThis is stupid. Even indians know that words are used to describe things. Including warriors. Indians used them and we use them.
It is a testimony to the warrior sub group (what ever it may be) that the ferocity of their skills is used to describe a weapon or a contemporary group of warriors. Even the Romans used such tactics.
This is a frivolous lawsuit a distracting tactic and one more straw on uncle Sam’ back (read All Americans) as openly hostile groups to the U.S. government work to subvert it.

Posted on May 9, 2011 at 9:33pmOk fine. no more use of indian words for names. We will however have to insist on an immediate stop to the use of the word “white”. No more “white rice”, “white bread”, “white Christmas”, “Snow White”, “white beans”, white wash”‘ “white out”, “white lightning”, “white wine”, white cheese”, well, you get the picture. Oh, and while were mentioning cheese, no more use of the word “*******”.

Posted on May 9, 2011 at 10:26pmThe only thing that any of you IDIOTS need to know is that Geronomo killed hundreds of White women and White children. Not only did he kill them but he raped them and skinned their scalps off whille they were still alive.
And White people are cowering to Indians about his image.

Posted on May 9, 2011 at 11:08pmI say if you want to cut the deficit, defund “Indian Affairs” as a start…Stop all aid and allow the Natives to make it on their own…I myself have many different tribes blood way up the family tree but do not partake is the handouts or have a “blue card”.,. my ancestors didn’t sign the roll for Government hand outs…They were to strong minded for that…
Cut the aid, allow the Nations of the Tribes to make it themselves….I’m sure those billion dollar Casinos, with mob ties now, will be really prosperous and is in the best interest of the Natives….Shameful!!!!

Posted on May 10, 2011 at 2:05amPerhaps us white Americans are only taking back what we gave in the first place. Geronimo was not his real name. His name was Goyaałé from the Chiricahua language meaning “one who yawns”; often spelled Goyathlay or Goyahkla in English. It would have been kind of awkward to use Goyaałé as the code name. He got the name Geronimo, when during a battle in which, ignoring a deadly hail of bullets, he repeatedly attacked Mexican soldiers with a knife, causing them to utter appeals to Saint Jerome (”Jeronimo!”). Americans heard this and thought his name was Geronimo, and the name stuck.

However, some Mexicans may say to her, We didn’t cross your reservation, your reservation crossed us!
