    Thank you...not sure what the uproar is from HCP, but whatever...I saw this in the news and found it interesting and simply posted it.

    Not for nothing Sly, but I'm not sure why that would matter one way or the other...I'm sure that different people from all races have differing opinions on this.

    Because the vast majority of Native Americans feel that things like Redskins and Chief Wahoo are cultural and racial slurs while people of other races, cultures, and nationalities would not.

    It would be similar to asking everyone if expressions like, "Jew them down" are offensive. You could find a few Jewish people that it doesn't bother but the vast majority of Jewish people do so an internet poll that is open to everyone would not accurately reflect that.

    Please provide a source to support your claim, which I believe to be faulty on several levels.

    There are a few native American extremist that latch onto any issue to spread the hate and poison in their hearts. Much like our far left and far right latch onto any issue to spread the hate and poison in their hearts.

    Just because of few extremist yell the loudest. Does not make them a majority.

    It's hate and poison to object to racial slur?

    Is this accurate?
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...8553bc-b581-11e9-8949-5f36ff92706e_story.html

    it seems your opinion of it being a racial slur differs from the majority of Native Americans per the link i posted above?
    I also found no link or article showing anything different than the results of the link i posted.
    Just sayin.

    You found nothing different from what you posted? And yet I googled "poll on redskins name", and got a refuting source 2 links down from a poll done the following year.

    I'll also throw out again that, when a poster here questions what a black man, who was hunted down and murdered, was doing jogging in a neighborhood that wasn't his home neighborhood, fuck you and your takes on race. You've shown who you are. I thought you were thrown away with cup. bummer that's not the case.

    Once again, "you're forgiven".

    And nope, I'm not sleeping with the fishes like Cup....find a post that breaks the forum rules and the Mods with lay the hammer down...good luck with that.

    Sorry, but you're not the ACME Judgement Company, nor a Mod.

    I'm sure following along with a conversation is difficult for you. So I suppose I'll help you out. Yes. Maybe you can. But the person I quoted said that they could not! Thus my link. Welcome back to the...conversation?
