There are tons of people who know people that are 1/16th Cherokee and they don't care! I read it here on Chiefsplanet.
Easy there, I am 1/16th Cherokee and I don't even care.

Are we supposed to care what he thinks?

If there is a racist name out there, Redskins ought to be it. I can see why they want it to be changed, but I don't see why people are up in arms over Chiefs, Illini, Sioux, Indians etc. Those clearly are not racist names, in fact, those teams were named as such to honor native americans. With that said, I don't think a halftime of a game should be used to give political opinions one way or another.

Changing the name will change nothing in respects to the global assimilation of all peoples and resources into a one world system. This talk of getting rid of the caricatures is troubling in that its a sure thing to be a smoke screen for something worse going down they dont want the masses to look at. They are running out issues like this to fix in order to give them more time and they are running out of time as well. People are pissed.
I am Choctaw...my wife is Lakotah...We have spent most of married lives around my wife's people in S. Dakota.

I agree that changing the name changes nothing and is basically just an academic exercise.

Still it needs to go.

But..but 90% of wealthy white liberals are offended. That's all that matters.

So that would mean one of your great, great grandparents were Native American? Truthfully, you're so far removed from the culture I don't think you can claim that "even you aren't offended".

Im trying to decide if I would be offended by a team calling themselves The Whiteskins...nope wouldn't give a shit.

I should say this biologically speaking. For all I know you live in a teepee.

Yes, because he speaks in a serious tone and articulates his words very well. Someone needs to steal that tools lunch money.

I wouldn't. Because it is not a word I, or 99.9% of the rest of the world would ever use to describe someone.

Are you advocating for the government to step in and force a private entity to change its name?

If so, that is a whole different issue, albeit one in which the outcome will still be the same.

If not, then bitch about it all you want, but its up to the business owner, and he has already said he is not doing it.

Let it go.

Westchester Crazy Crackers?

I kind of like it.

Direckshun 10-14-2013 09:54 AM
I really think they should change their name, yes.

It's their call. But it should be done.

hometeam 10-14-2013 09:56 AM
.1% of the population benefits from something? Do it!

I mean ****, works for Wall Street, why not other interest groups?

Bewbies 10-14-2013 09:56 AM
The Chiefs will be renamed as well. Warriors will be out. Global warming will put an end to the Miami Heat.

I didn't say shit about the government. And I'm not bitching about it.

But to claim it's not a slur is intellectually dishonest, because it is and everyone knows it is.
