you sound stupid right now. you just said the community feels prides and now you're saying that it's racist to say community? :heh:
Secondly every state and county in this country have differing laws and ordinances and customs. it is still possible to offended members of each one. ****** is an offensive term to black people. not just floridians or texans. Redskins is an offensive term to native americans not to lakota or sioux specifically because it's not a cultural offense. Its a fukkin ethnic slur refering to outward appearance.


But it is true certain tribes are not offended by the term and if they a bigger than the majority that are offended, then what? You would never reach a resolution if you can't get a group of people to agree that something is offensive.

Uncertain grounds
i hear the argument about changing the redskins name it is offensive i guess...

maybe the us gov't should give the tribes back their land as well, that is probably offensive to them too

no you dumbass (and I am saying this because you are being a dumbass), I said THOSE communities. Kingston, Oklahoma, Red Mesa, Arizona, and Wellpinit, Washington. Go into those communities, and on those reservations and tell them that. Those are three separate communities.
i was obviously refering to the communty in the article. hence the reason i posted it. lol @ "no you dumbass" you still sound stupid as fukk
then goto those communities and tell them that. Tell them to change their names.
there are plenty of people from those communities coming over here and telling us that. which i already proved to you. it simply people like you who refuse to accept facts.
BTW it seems to be a very white way of thinking where you believe you can tell people what they should or should not be offended by.
If they weren't offended i wouldn't go into those communities and tell them to be. It's because they are offended that i'm telling you that you fukking simpleton

Actually it's not true at all. There hasn't been a single instance where a tribe has made statement in support of these names. on the other hand there many cases where tribal leaders and activist have spoken out against them. which is proven.
but feel free to post link if you have one saying that so and so tribe supports the washington redskins. Because for some reason a lot of people seem to think that since they haven't heard anything that is same thing as support. but more likely it just means you aren't listening.

yeah, in the country of India you dummy. :heh:
look at you flip flopping. So you think this is offensive but redskins is just fine? indian is a derogatory term?
btw whats your level of education? i not calling you stupid to insult you. you genuinely sound like you are uneducated.
i don't see how naming a school the seminoles is any different from naming a school the spartans. but naming a school the redskins is more like
naming a school the crackers

breh, do you ever know what you are arguing at this point? India is a country with Indians. Columbus called the Indigenous people he encountered here Indians because he is an ignorant jackass, and unfortunately that stuck.

And tell those communities that their names are ignorant. Tell them. Protest for a name change in Red Mesa Arizona, Wellpinit, Washington and tell those indigenous persons their school name and mascot is ignorant. Goto Kingston High School in Oklahoma and tell those indigenous persons you dont agree with their name. Do it.


I have no idea what Seminoles and Spartans have to do with this conversation.

there are plenty of people from those communities coming over here and telling us that. which i already proved to you. it simply people like you who refuse to accept facts.
:mindblown:

its like talking to a fukking child. I gave you 3 Indigenous persons communities that use the name Redskins for their HS name, and you dismissed that because your ignorant ass thinks that the Indigenous persons are all the same.
BTW it seems to be a very white way of thinking where you believe you can tell people what they should or should not be offended by.
If they weren't offended i wouldn't go into those communities and tell them to be. It's because they are offended that i'm telling you that you fukking simpleton
the fukking irony of this statement. :heh:

breh shut your dumb ass up. Me and you are having two different conversations, and the one I am having is of an intelligent variety. This went well over your head and you clearly arent ready. Take care.


"very white way of thinking" :heh: :russ:

:wow: your ignorance amazes me. First off indian is not a derogatory term no matter how dumb you or columbus are so that point was invalid.
Secondly you can't tell people what they can be or can't be offended by. White people always believe that they can govern sensitivity but you can't.
Tell those indigenous persons their school name is ignorant? :mindblown: they're already telling us. and like i said before you don't get to decide fool. You think the statement was ironic and yet you clearly just told me to tell them that the name is offensive. All i've done if given you proof that they find offensive. plus nobody ever said indigenous people are all the same but this is clearly offensive to a majority of the indigenous population.

“If I were the owner of the team and I knew that the name of my team, even if they’ve had a storied history, that was offending a sizable group of people, I’d think about changing it,” Obama said.
He phrased it just right.
He said sizable group of people. Considering there aren't a lot of native Americans, you could argue that there isn't a sizable group of people, therefore, the name doesn't get changed. And, he said "I'd think about changing it." So even if there were a sizable group of people offended by it, he wouldn't necessarily change the name but he would think about changing the name.
