Are you offended?

These men were leaders, warriors/freedom fighters, etc. They made the last stands against the US Govt before laying down their arms. They didnt want to give up their guns anymore than we do today either, but they were outnumbered and outgunned. Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse though at least had the victory at BOLB to remember for the rest of their lives. And then after they gave up their arms they lived out the rest of their lives in a totally different world stripped of freedom living behind fences. Before Geronimo died at Ft Sill he told a relative on his deathbed, "I should have never surrendered. I should have fought until I was the last man alive". So, no, to me as native American or indian, and not speaking for anybody else, that pic in the OP definitely does not offend me.

I am a white protestant male I am not allowed to be offended, I am only allowed to offend.

That is actually really offensive.

Everyone knows leftists have a monopoly on exploiting racial minorities for political purposes. If anyone else does it it is RACIST!!!

Pocking right. I'm offended that this actually made it into the news cycle instead of being dismissed for the nonsense it assuredly is!
I'm offended that in the 21 century people can still make successful 'shame' attacks and nobody cares.
I'm offended that people make a big deal about offensives and insensitivity and other people act as if it causes real damage.
Look if mere words and pictures can cause such a negative reaction that would actually threaten peoples health, then terrorists would stop putting anthrax and explosives in the mail, and instead send envelopes stuff with non-PC words and pictures.

If I were a Native American I think I'd be a lot more offended by Wounded Knee than the billboard.

I'd rather put up a billboard with a picture of Stand Watie, with the same message. My great-great grandad served under him.

I am offended that people are offended.

This is very true. Ask any native how the federal government treated them. There was a reason many tribes supported the confederacy as they knew the government was getting WAY TOO BIG FOR ITS BRITCHES>
