Disney World apologizes for school’s
‘racist’ Indianettes performance

Original Article

Walt Disney World has reportedly denounced a routine by a high school drill team that was accused of “racism” and borrowing from Native American stereotypes during a recent performance there. Video shot March 15 of the Port Neches-Groves High School Indianettes from Texas shows the all-women squad dressed in purple with white fringe as they march and dance—seemingly borrowing from Native culture—while also chanting, “Scalp ’em, Indians, scalp ’em.” The footage of the group, who were invited to perform in Orlando, sparked a backlash by Native American officials who called their act “dehumanizing.” “The live performance in our park did not reflect our core values,

Comments:

It's racist for cheerleaders to honor the warrior spirit, but sexually liberating and empowering when they twerk and grind like someone's weird idea of gorillas in heat. And at Disney, an old-time cheerleader routine is dehumanizing, but Gay Pride parades are the very heart and soul of wholesome family values, especially when young children are involved.

Never been to Disney World. Never plan to go. And never plan to see any movies that Disney or their subsidiaries make. Boycott Disney-the only thing they understand is their bottom line.

I have despised the Disney company for years for their lies, and being exceptionally greedy gougers. I dropped them over a decade ago. The current actions and statements of their CEO has confirmed the negative judgement.

Port Neches was home to the Karankawa's, 7ft tall indians, extinct loooong before europeans arrived. If "Natives" didn't want to be known for Scalping people, they shouldn't have scalped people. They certainly shouldn't try to pretend now that it never happened. The fact that the 1st person to be "Poutraged" was an Ojibwa from southern canada, 1000s of miles away, with ZERO native attachment to the region? Simply par for the poutrage course.

As an Italian-American - - I vehemently protest the portrayal of Papa Gepetto as some sort of mindless boob - - and of Pinocchio as a compulsive neurotic. These warped caricatures of Italians are completely and viciously racist - - and reparations must be paid by the corrupt Disney empire to anyone of Italian heritage - - as well as to anyone who has ever seen a Coppola or Scorcese movie.

When will giant company's like Disney get a message. We, the people are tired of your horse droppings. Will never ever patronize this play ground of filth. Too bad.

My travels used to take me through several reservations in the southwest. The people I met there were among the nicest I've ever met anywhere in the world. They were proud of their heritage but not carrying a chip on their shoulders about it, like liberals do. Of all the racial and ethnic groups I've met in my life, Indians are the ONLY ones who not one single member has ever treated me bad. That puts them way ahead of moslems, Europeans, Asians, Mexicans, rednecks, and about every other group. Those girls look like a bunch of cuties. Scalp away!

There was a famous Russian sailor's account of a Sitka tribe potlach ceremony in southern Alaska in 1848 that shows how seriously the first nation peoples took their musical performances. Each year there would be a singing competition between the men of the two local tribes that was "judged" by the elders. When the same tribe won two years in a row the losers got out their weapons and killed many of the singers in the winning tribe they could before they were slaughtered by the remaining warriors. The stylized stereotypes of the ancient first nation tribes that are captured by baseball and football teams (as well as drill teams) are quite tame in contrast to the practices of the ancient world.

Scalping was the process of taking a trophy. In James Fenimore Cooper's "The Deerslayer" and "The Last of the Mohicans" he wrote about French and English scalping Hurons, sometimes while they were still alive. If you want to talk about dehumanizing, look to the Apache and the Comanche who tied enemies to anthills and poured honey on them, or hung them upside down from a tree limb with their heads about three feet from the ground and lit small fires under them. For real humiliation they gave little knives or sharp pieces of flint to the squaws and let them skin people alive, slowly and carefully. Since we stole their land, starved them and killed off their food supply, we might have deserved it. Nobody was innocent in those days.

For those that have never been to a Disney park, don't watch their movies, etc... Disney doesn't give a flip about you and your opinion. Boycotting something you never bought in the first place is pointless. My family on the other hand actually went to Disney parks regularly for years and did spend time and money there for years, 9-16 days there a year and 5k+ a year plus annual passes which cost about $800 per person every 2 years. We were loyal customers and are actually part of their DVC and have been for almost 15 years. We will not be going back anytime soon and definitely not until Bob Chapek (nickname Bob Paycheck cause he gave himself a raise during Covid) is fired and until they get their collective heads out of their own arses and get back to be a middle class family friendly vacation spot. And if that means we never go back, so be it. That is a lot of our money they won't be getting but someone else like Universal parks or other vacation destination around the world will be getting.

A disgraced Democrat state senator dodged jail thanks to a plea deal over a $600,000 fraud which saw her spend federal cash on her wedding, honeymoon—and subsequent divorce. Katrina Robinson, 41, struck the plea deal Friday which saw her admit just two of the 20 counts she was facing, with a value of $3,400. Sentencing guidelines could have seen the former Tennessee lawmaker face up to 10 months in prison for those counts. But US District Judge Sheryl H Lipman decided to let Robinson off with a slap on the wrist, and sentenced her to just a year of probation after claiming that the swindler had suffered enough already.

A car slammed at high speed into carnival revelers in a small town in southern Belgium early Sunday, killing six people and leaving 10 more with life-threatening injuries. Several dozen were more lightly injured. “What should have been a great party turned into a tragedy,” said Belgian Interior Minister Annelies Verlinden. The prosecutor's office said that in the early stages of the investigation there were no elements to suspect a terror motive, and two locals in their thirties were arrested at the scene in Strépy-Bracquegnies, some 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of Brussels.(Snip)Suddenly, “a car drove from the back at high speed.

A federal judge has ruled that a former Kentucky clerk violated the constitutional rights of two same-sex couples who were among those to whom she wouldn't issue marriage licenses—a refusal that sparked international attention and briefly landed her in jail in 2015. US District Judge David Bunning in Ashland issued the ruling Friday in two longstanding lawsuits involving Kim Davis, the former clerk of Rowan County, and two same-sex couples who sued her.(Snip)Bunning reasoned that Davis 'cannot use her own constitutional rights as a shield to violate the constitutional rights of others while performing her duties as an elected official.'
