My uncle is is milliner and he finds your comparison between his work and a bum most offensive. He requests his felatio line begins with you or, it's pistols at dawn I'm afraid.
I love how everyone who doesn't think Redskins is a racist term always refers to "those two guys they know who don't care."
What facts? That the "majority" find it offensive? The "majority" of what?? The 1% of them in this country still? Take the survey in India, it will be more relevant there... But thats not the point... This is a football thread, not a place for your PC bullshit to be interjected
This whole thread is so off topic. If someone wants to make a thread or drag one back up about this I'll be happy to continue there. Back on topic: who gives a shit? It's not happening.
Yeah the majority of people the term refers too. It's not PC billshit, it's racist. Marginalizing a people to try and prove your point is lol worthy. If this were african americans your opinion would be different.
if u find something offensive, dont support it. Simple as that. Ignore it and move on. Simba just called.. Wants detroit to change their name
Hyperbolie. I'll continue referring to them as the Washington Racists until they change their name. Don't like it? Tough shit.
I really wouldn't have minded this in hindsight, he's really come into his own (led the NFL in completion %, 24 TDs to 3 picks since week 7) Did Mac see this coming? If he has that type of foresight with young QB talent it's an encouraging sign at least.
Most of the Native Americans that are still alive? The vast majority of the race (no-one knows the exact amount but it is in the tens of millions) was extinguished by genocide and disease brought by Europeans To have a sports team named The Redskins in our nations capital after what these people were put through is absurd And to deny that it is patently racist really is ignorant. Imagine if the Germans had a soccer team called the Hamburg Hymies?
We got Manhattan for Wampum, Kimosabe The Lone Ranger would have been nothin without Tonto Probs to that
Guaranteed not many would care. Notre Dame can rename their team the Fighting Micks and I wouldn't give 2 shits. People who worry or get offended over words are weak. That's the only reason I'd wanna change the Redskins name. Who wants to be named after a group of whiny pussies?
Have you ever heard the term redskin used in any racist manner? In my lifetime the only time the term has ever been used has been in reference to the football team or any sport team that has adopted it. Where is this history of racism of the term? If it's racist, it should be easy to point to relevant modern examples of it used as such. If not it is a prime example of how language can change, and in this case history has changed its meaning from one that may have been racist, though nobody seems to be able to prove that it was, to one that is not.
Even if the name 'Redskins' is offensive I really don't care. I really don't. FAAAAAR to many thin skinned assholes running around crying like babies. My youngest daughter is American Indian and very offended by the name 'Redskins' but again, I really don't care. Hopefully this will toughen her up just a little bit. I hate it when a parent is 'offended' by some book used in school and they demand the book be removed form the school library....and it is. I hate it when a parent is 'offended' by a t-shirt sold at the Gap and demands the shirt be removed.....and it is. Sorry, but fuck that shit.
