Obama says Redskins should think about changing name

[Luke Cage]

President Obama should talk to these brehs too

Kingston High School Redskins in Oklahoma (majority Native American population)

These brehs too

Wellpint High School Redskins (majority Native American population)

Also them

Red Mesa High School Redskins, (majority Native American population)


Tell them their names are offensive and that they shouldnt be proud of it and change it. I need these people who are offended by the name Redskins to also tell them why their name is offensive and why they should change it.

fail?

What are you talking about?

Those schools are called Redskins and have majority Native American populations. Are they wrong for being proud of their name and not seeing it as offensive?

 

[QuintessentialBM]

As much as that name offends people... I doubt it'll be changed.

its a fukking fail because i just posted proof that native Americans do in fact find it offensive. One school isn't representative of an entire group of people.

Some native americans complain about the red mesa school too dumbass.
You said you needed them to be offended right? well now that you know they are does your opinion change or was that simply an excuse for ignoring/perpetuating racism?

here is the thing breh, "Native Americans" is not a monolithic term. A lot of people think that,, and ignore that they are in fact thousands of different nations. A Cherokee may not see things the same way as a Sioux. And a Sioux may not see things the same was a Choctaw.

The debate is more nuanced than people think.


And I never said I needed them to be offended. I said someone needs to tell them their name is offensive.

so if there was a team called the Birmingham high Blackies and this was there logo

just because theres a majority african american population, they should be proud

if they feel pride in their name, and that community also feels pride in that name, then who are we to tell them its offensive??

Thats the point.

but theres been plenty of protest to the redskin name, and its been for the most part ignored, so i dont get where you think they are proud of the name

Thats the point.

the point was invalid because i just showed proof that the community doesn't feel pride in that name but rather something more akin to shame. do you really think these kids have anything to do with what a school is called?
I went to a school named after president Jackson. who was a well known bigot/racist president. You think i should have dropped out in protest? use my pride to pay for private schooling?

 

[King Poetic]

while we at it.. cleveland should change there name as well as florida st

then go to those High Schools, and tell them that their name is offensive. Tell them to change it. Tell them you, not a member of that community and Nation, are offended by it. Tell them that. Thats all I am asking.

why are you being obtuse? There is no "Native American community." They all have separate laws and customs. Have separate rituals. By you lumping them all together, you are being racist.

And yeah, if you were offended by the name then you could have protested that name. You didnt tho.

At my university, our football stadium is named after a former president who fought to not admit black students. We raised a stink about it and protested. Didnt go anywhere unfortunately.

In those communities with their school named Redskins, I have not seen much protest about it. So what should we do brehs. Should we go to those communities and demand change?

you sound stupid right now. you just said the community feels prides and now you're saying that it's racist to say community?
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.

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.

then goto those communities and tell them that. Tell them to change their names.

yeah because using an officially recognized term for a group of people is just as offensive as using an ethnic slur.

the other day this dude called me an african american and i was like being politically correct is racist.

 

[KEEPITTRILLA]
