OT Native American group wants Washington Commanders to go back to Redskins.

And I act and speak in kind. Unlike yourself

 

Again, yes, because you said so.

 

Redskin is racist. It may not offend all native Americans but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s racist.

how or why it ever became the name of a sports franchise is beyond me

 

And do so.

This you?

 

So is "cracker".

 

Crackers weren't mass slaughtered or enslaved. Don't try to change subject.

Reminds me of white people saying n word isn't racist because Black people use it among themselves.

 

Old white men feeling persecuted! "Why can't I say it?"

 

Well yes it is...the very same day when the thread was created and nobody knew all the facts, including yourself. If you wanna continue to dredge up shit that was said 3 freaking years ago, why not post all of my comments in the thread, trying to clarify what I said, and why?

 

That's not the point, and I didn't change the subject, the other poster did. And sorry, but someone doesn't have to be slaughtered in order to be racially slighted/targeted. Your analogy is inaccurate and off the mark.


...looks like I have the S2 mafia after me now.

 

I have lived on a reservation for the last 8 years. It is an open res., which means the native American families can sell part or all of their assigned res., land to anyone. So I have many neighbors that are native Americans near my property.

Also over the many decades, I have had many encounters with various tribes in the PNW.

I am aware of issues they have. Some tribes more than others. But not once has any racest lables been mentioned. All their issues are centered around problems with the Fed govt.

If you want to research offensive lables our Fed government has assigned, research tribal names. Many of the 500 plus tribal names assigned to them are not their native names. And many are offensive.

Example.
One official Fed tribal name translates into English as "filthy water people". This name is used in public and seen in every city in the USA, over 500,000 times. Look it up, hint, the true native tribal name is "Ho-Chunk".

There are many more faulty tribal names, some are offensive.

 

Playing the daughter card? I'll let you slide, this time. But...

This does not improve your chances for a promotion. We all know you want to take your "moderator maintaining order talents" to the next level. Until you can stay on topic, and stop instigating chaos, you have no chance to be promoted out of the dog house to be a certified "trunk monkey".

 

Sigh…
Unfortunate we cant just have a conversation…

 

1/2 Mexican ex-cop.

 

Gotta love people trying to convince me what is offensive to me and other people, and what is not.

 

I did a search for bow native americans felt….

we all know google has algorithyms…

 

Regardless of how many people are offended, it is a racial slur used by colonialists and among different tribes.

Washington led the genocide of Native Americans. Then became home to a sports team named a racial slur against Native Americans.

It is improper and the name should not come back, IMO.

If the name were a universal term of honor and endearment it would have never been changed in the first place.

 

For example, we won't likely see a pro sports team named the Alabama Crackers any time soon...

 

Welcome to The United States of the Offended.

 

Wonder who SHE/HE voted for?
