Can't stand dumb ass nikkaz

What if a WNBA had a team called the Washington Redbones with Laura London look alike as the mascot

or if NFL had a team called the Detroit Dope Boys with a nikka with cartier glasses and blunt in his mouth for the logo

it has nothing to do with racial slur, but the dehumanization of the image of a group of people

i would bet most americans don't even know redskins was a "derogatory" term for native americans. they just think an indian happens to be the mascot.

i dont believe anyone is actually offended by the name redskins

this is all political hype and native american equality groups trying to gain some relevance :camby:
Agreed.

*starts a team called the Washington Darkies with a mascot of a black man shades, a sparkle by his tooth, and a fitted*
Once I see the Redskins mascot holding a bottle of alcohol I'll agree with this reach.

nikka said a sparkle by his tooth and a fitted... I get the "darkies" part I guess. Still reaching.

Because most americans are ignorant self absorbed idiots, doesn't make it right, now they know

if a group of people say they take offense to it who are you to tell them it's no offensive, when they're the ones being mocked

if the NBA had a team called the Cleveland Players, sounds innocent right
but if what if the logo was a black man dressed as a pimp, and white fans came to the games with jhuri curl wigs and mink coats, would that be a good look

your analogies rely on the fact that the mascots are portraying the group in a negative way. the redskins mascot is just a native american in traditional attire. its actually pretty dope.

this is all fake outrage.

Of course it's a reach.... :laugh:
Legit made me cringe at the thought lol

I feel slightly bad for loving the Redskins and not wanting a name change.. But I grew up on it.. It IS celebrated.. And the mascot wears traditional indigenous attire...

Is the term "Redskins" the only thing that bothers them? Shoot I've lived in Canada years, tons of natives, I've never heard "Redskin" said once..

Why are we so obsessed with comparing "our" plight to "their" plight :why:. Just ignored that shyt nikka. Unfair as it is, civil rights comes in waves and human dignity gets restored one step at a time. The discussion of who had it worse is so unnecessary and a detriment to global justice going forward.

Whether it's dope or not, it's the appropriation of an entire ethnicity and culture for something which they have don't even have a stake.

you don't want a name change because it isn't offensive to you. no different than cacs who don't understand why black people have a problem with certain things that whites feel we shouldn't find offensive as black people.

Who am I to tell a group of people that they shouldn't feel offended about a racial slur related to their culture when I know how it feels when others do it to us?
