Re: Skins getting heat again over name issue

I have been a Redskins fan longer than most of you have been alive. I met Turk Edwards, saw Sammy Baugh, Joe Theisman, John Riggins, Sam Huff, the Fun Bunch, the Hogs and many, many more play (not on tv either). I even remember the Frank Budd disaster. It doesn't matter what the team name is, they will always be the Redskins to me. It is Washington football, support them. I will remain a fan regardless of the name. However, if they name the team the Washington Pansies, Pink Ladies or something similar, there is a imit.

It's not a stretch to think a word that's defined in the dictionary as being racist, is offensive to some people. Would we even consider naming a team today Redskins? Of course not.
In all fairness, I didn't see the term defined in the dictionary as racist. Derogatory or contemptuous, but not necessarily racist. There is a difference.

Let’s not split hairs

Quote:
Redskin is a slang term for Native Americans in the United States and First Nations in Canada. The term "redskin" underwent pejoration through the 19th to early 20th centuries and in contemporary dictionaries of American English it is labeled "usually offensive", "disparaging", "insulting", or "taboo".

Go somewhere with that bullshit! I am 100% black American and proud of it. There is nothing racist about calling out a bunch of authoritarian, anti-American, scumbag marxists. There will always be inequalities as long as people have freedom of choice. For example, if i choose to break the law and get a felon conviction it will be harder for me to get a job. If i choose not to pay my bills on time it will be harder for me to get a loan. Which will make it almost impossible to start a business, buy a home, buy car, etc. You get out of life what you put into it. Simple as that. The woke mob is branded as violent because they are.

We have seen riot.

Shall i continue? Do you now see why anyone with a functioning brain would view these people as violent? The woke mob are a bunch of animals who wants to destroy everything and everyone they dislike. This isn't about justice for black people. Its all about leftists taking control of everything and they are using stupid ass black people to do it.

You are totally ignorant. The free market is about competition between private businesses. The consumers of Redskins football are Redskins fans. How many Redskins fans are demanding a name change? How many NFL fans are demanding a name change? All of this is coming from a small group of powerful people.

Are you denying there are "woke mobs"? Where have you been the past couple months? Hear of places like Minneapolis, Seattle, NYC? At this point you are denying reality.

Social inequities today in the US are about the color green, not black and brown.

White hate crimes? LOL. Welcome to this century dude. Look up stats from other sources, and they will all be similar to this (Just to be clear, in this chart black deaths add up to 100%, white deaths add up to 100%):


There is racism and stupidity. Unfortunately (or ironically good if blind egalitarianism is your goal) racism goes both ways. In terms of murder, opposite what you say. The Left has cornered the market of stupidity, however.

Because black on black crime has nothing to do with us putting them where they are? Another right wing white nut job who speaks in memes. Gtfoh. And yeah chico and metal - another one who has blatantly been racist on this board - your damn straight im calling you out. Because if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat? Guess what? Metal ...”looks pretty blatant to me boss”. LMAO. GO SCRATCH
