Adam also is redshin:) Heck, that is caring it to far. It is permitting to us it if we don't care! American Indian really don't have red skin, they have a reddish brown skin when they stay in the sun a lot. Quoting: Daughter Can you imagine people that are really red, only if they've got a sunburn. Someone get here a real dictionary, tell her to throw out the P.C. one, it is frying her brain. Go make a NFL team named The Blackskins with an African tribsman as the team logo and see how fucking far you get..... It is a definite racial slur and was used in a derogatory fashion when it was in more common use in the United States. Me vely vely solly Charlie Chan. Is this racist? Or stereotyping? Either way,it's pretty funny, grasshopper! It's racist and stereotyping. I stand up for minorities and speak for them. You can't insult people just because they are different! We live in a modern world and must all become one people, living together in harmony and peace. Homosexuals,lesbians and people of all colors have the right to be treated fairly and equal. Layoff the racial slurs boys! Layoff the racial slurs? Are you kidding me? How many times do whites get "slurred" upon? Honky, creapy ass cracker blah blah. They have even managed to take the religion of "Christianity" and make that a WHITE racial slur. You gonna come crying to stand up for them too? Hypocrite much? |

Carol B. User ID: 30598717 United States 08/13/2013 08:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Rachel Maddow has joined in in the left-leaning-media boycott of calling the Washington Redskins by its official name, instead awkwardly referring to the team as the “R-Word” throughout a recent segment. The MSNBC host called the actual name of the team “painfully racist.” Quoting: christian Maddow picked up on Samoan congressional delegate Eni Faleomavaega’s practice of referring to the team as the “R-Word.” (Faleomavaega has been on the forefront of the push to force the team to change its name.) Maddow also referred to the Redskins as the “Washington R-Word NFL team,” the “Washington, D.C., football team,” and once as “the Washington Why-Don’t-They-Change-Their-Names.” She praised Slate, The New Republic, and Mother Jones for representing “real progress” in their vow to no longer use the Redskins name.

STFU progressive pieces of shit, I've never once seen the Redskins take the name in an offensive way, and instead see them pay tribute to the people being represented. If you think it's racist, like madcow does, you obviously suffer from a mental deficiency. |

Let's be honest here -- the reason why racial slurs that are used for minorities are offensive is because white people were the dominators in the past. Plain and simple. It is a fact of history that White people DOMINATED two other races at the same time. We basically eradicated one race(the Redskins); and we enslaved another(the Blackskins). There are no racial terms that can be used against a white man that can actually be taken seriously - we are dominators. That's why all these minorities are up in arms about these stupid racial terms. They're just butt-hurt because their ancestors couldn't defend themselves when the dominating white man showed up 300 years ago. It's not my fault my ancestors knew how to dominate. These Redskins need to get over it -- their existence is history, literally. |
