That\u2019s the Tomahawk Chop, correction, the racist Tomahawk Chop. A synchronized movement of the arm by Atlanta fans at home games. A gesture and chant promoting stereotypes,&nbsp;caricatures, and frankly hatred of Native American people. The chop gets its World Series spotlight starting tomorrow as other teams are retiring such appropriation. The Washington Football team ditched its former name, a racial slur we will not be repeating here. The Cleveland Indians banished their extremely offensive logo and also changed their name to The Guardians.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>She continued, \u201cThe National Congress of American Indians responded saying native people are not mascots. \u2018Degrading rituals like the Tomahawk Chop that dehumanize and harm us have no place in American society.\u2019 And yet it\u2019s all over American society and will be on TV in 24 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Reid added, \u201cYou have to wonder how on earth is this happening. But we know, don\u2019t we? It\u2019s allowed for the same reason that White parents are allowed to erase centuries of truth from U.S. history, why they get to expunge&nbsp;Toni Morrison books or any mention of Andrew Jackson\u2019s role in exterminating native people from their land. That entitlement, that incredible sense of white privilege, which boils down to complete impunity for them while the rest suffer. Isn\u2019t that what the cult of Trumpism is and what this offensive, gross tomahawk chop embodies? It\u2019s no wonder that Donald Trump is reportedly attending game four in Atlanta. The chop a fitting soundtrack for a wannabe despot who feeds off hate and whose core belief is racists can do whatever they want as others are ridiculed, erased, deduced to the stereotype that justified a genocide. The belief that it\u2019s your right to use team-sanctioned racism to root for the home team, that is the absolute worst.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MSNBC host Joy Reid said\u00a0Thursday on her show \u201cThe ReidOut\u201d that the\u00a0Atlanta Braves fans\u2019 \u201cracist\u201d tomahawk chop gesture is the embodiment of Trumpian white privilege.
