I see it as a complex problem that started long before Custer, remains even now, and seeing the "finger" seemed to me to be invitation to reduce the issue to one far too simple.
Whatever: That's "how it feels to me".
I disagree. Sometimes the middle finger gives an important, heartfelt message.
It's just a demonstration of feelings, not an issue reducer.
Sometimes, with all due respect, you make things much too complicated.
