[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Minnetonka issued a statement Monday saying it had made money off the back of its 'appropriation' of Native American culture Ugh! White man raise buffalo too! Can't do dat!
CEO David Miller admitted his firm is not a Native-owned business, and promised to do more to support Indigenous communities in the future Give braves big wampum!
The company has also hired Adrienne Benjamin - a member of the tribe Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe - as a reconciliation advisor Wear-um warpaint to office every day!
Minnetonka timed the apology to coincide with Indigenous Peoples' Day
The move is the latest to tackle brands' use of Native American culture with NFL team the Washington Redskins rebranding as the Washington Football Team No use-um injun culture, injun eventually be forgotten. Goodbye Ojibwe. Goodbye Kickapoo! Goodbye Karankawa!

#6 The white race has been appropriated by the Chicago White Sox. It is same way with football and basketball. Something needs to be done about this I tell you.

OK Newspapers are RACISTS and should be BANNED.
Because Newspapers are printed on White paper exploiting BLACK Ink for profit.
Plus newspapers have for 100's of years used racist terms or practices such as YELLOW Journalism, caused lynchings, racial stereotypes and worse...promoted political agendas that resulted in massive genocide.
