    You talk complete lie, not stupid truth.

    I get a kick out of you, but eventually you need to get banned forever.

    You can be pretty funny, soxxx, but you get on these kicks of blatant trolling. Eventually you'll ruin a thread that a moderator actually gives a shit about.

    Virginia lawmakers form 'Redskins Pride Caucus'
    AP 3:58 p.m. EDT June 23, 2014


    RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Three Virginia state lawmakers are forming a "Redskins Pride Caucus" to defend the Washington, D.C.-based football team that's come under pressure to change its name.
    Last month, 50 U.S. senators sent a letter to the NFL urging it to change the name. And the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ruled last week that the Redskins name is disparaging to Native Americans and that the team should be stripped of federal trademark protection. Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has refused to change the name.
    Fairfax Democratic Sen. Chap Petersen, Manassas Republican Delegate Jackson Miller and Loudon Republican Delegate David Ramadan scheduled a news conference Monday at the Capitol to announce the caucus' formation.
    In a news release, the lawmakers say their group would support "commercial freedom" in Virginia and oppose what they call Congress' "inappropriate involvement" in issues related to the Redskins.

    Before I reply, just to clarify, are you arguing that slavery and misogyny are preferable to genocide?

    Really? I'm saying that "redskin" isn't offensive just like "woman" or "black person" isn't offensive because they're descriptors and completely unrelated to any of the horrific shit that went on.

    Wearing blackface makeup isn't offensive because it's a descriptor? That's absurd. If you want to learn the etymology of the term Redskin, I would encourage you to do so, because your personal opinion about that or any word is irrelevant.

    One State Senator constitutes "they"? The word "they", as opposed to "him", is plural, and not singular. We could all post a lot of absurd proposals and ideas by State Legislators and have a great laugh about it but there's no universal application to be had.
