Let me just reitterate....

Redskins is not a racial slur.

There is a Navajo reservation right next to Annapolis. Want to come up and say that to an Indian's face?

I'll even buy the plane ticket.

And he's got Redskins gear decorating his office.

Your poll is inherently biased.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I also think it's funny/ironic when the most vocal friend of mine who is a Redskins fan is black.

uh huh

 

[bbgun]

okay, this might be a tad over the line

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

I used to want them to change it just to stick it to skins fans but I'm Already jaded enough about sports and will feel way less into a cowboys vs Spirit game

I miss how Crazy Ray and that black guy for the Redskins used to get into it before games.

Laz is all like a Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull in a china shop in here.

 

[Sheik]

I've never seen an Indian in real life.

One time I was standing in line at the pharmacy and there was this huge 6'6 260 lb. Indian just letting this black guy have it for cutting in line. He was going on and on and on and would not drop it.

No asswipe, they had the benefit of rightfully calling them by heir tribal names, like Cherokee, Iroqouis, Choctaw, Apache, etc.

And go up and call a Black person "colored", and see what will happen.

My grandma called black people colored till the day she died. I brought a black friend to her house a few times, and she would always ask about the "nice colored boy", the first time she called him colored to his face was hilarious.

Does any of the folks feeling white guilt believe for any moment in time that if the roles were reversed, that history would be any fucking different? Man kind black, white, yellow, purple, brown... whatever there was. Are a virus upon this planet, killing one another and taking their shit. White people did it for a while, but before them... it was the Spanish, French, Hell every fucking Country in Europe and Asia make the shit we pulled for a couple hundred years look like NOTHING.

Get over it America, before you've PC'd yourself into being nothing but the whiny fucking French.

 

[jeebus]

Sure everybody hates the French, but besides their love of the white flag they are not a very PC people. Racist, sexist, wanton, sure.

I don't feel guilty about anything. I just recognize that discrimination isn't good and I wish it didn't happen.

 

[bbgun]

I don't think that appropriating a name or hurting people's feelings is tantamount to "discrimination" any more than Broadway's "The Book of Mormon."

 

[Jon88]

I don't see how the team name discriminates against anyone either. It's not like they don't draft Native Americans or don't let them attend games because their name is the Redskins.

 

[peplaw06]

Discrimination doesn't just mean that you're denying Native Americans services. It refers to noting a distinction among a group of people.
