The Washington Just-About-Everything-But-Redskins

[Tecumsehsbones]

Nine in 10 Native Americans say they are not offended by the Washington Redskins name, according to a new Washington Post poll that shows how few ordinary Indians have been persuaded by a national movement to change the football team’s moniker.
The survey of 504 people in every state and the District reveals that the minds of Native Americans have remained unchanged since a 2004 poll by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found the exact same result. Responses to The Post’s questions about the issue were broadly consistent regardless of age, income, education, political party or proximity to reservations.

A lot of us prefer to leave it to Chief Ward Churchill to be offended for us. He surely does have enough butthurt to cover all four million of us.

This is why it's pointless for right wingers to be offended by political correctness.

And for left wingers to be offended at the racist sexist patriarchal Gaia-destroying microaggressive whatever.

Or in the immortal words of Julius Caesar. . .

"Suck it up, Buttercup." (loose translation)

It shows that how stupid it is for leftards to worry about political correctness as nobody is actually offended.

Well, technically it shows that 90% of Indians surveyed aren't offended. It merely indicates that the large majority of Indians (the only group that really have a say, in my opinion) don't give a damn.

See what I mean.

You make more hay out of a non issue than the people you believe are making hay out of a non issue.


Libertarians man.


You guys are so dumb.

What can I say? We stand in awe of the shining intellect that is you. It almost blinds us to your compulsive use of logical fallacies.

Just your normal case of right-on lefties getting offended by something on someone else's behalf.

You were so close.

Just your normal case of right-on lefties getting offended by something on someone else's behalf.

The irony of getting upset about it must be overwhelming for you.

How dare you insult Mighty Chief Squawking Chicken of the Wa-Na-Be tribe!

There it is.

Doesn't take much to pull out the inner racist of a libertarian.

True. I have an irrational hostility to pinkies pretending to be Indians.

Just one question. . . what "race" is that?

[Tecumsehsbones]

More of your shining intellect there, mentalfloss.

Just testing out the libertarian core.


Ok, back to normal again.

Compared to the slaughter of some say 250 million savages, and the subsequent loss of a whole continent, not to mention the violation of innumerable treaties, some would say the name of a baseball team rates right up there with the Holocaust.

Like the debate about transgender bathrooms though, this debate is about using inane jedi PC mindtricks to keep the peeps off the real indignities

like who is the new indians

I think you mean it's pointless for left wingers to be offended by a lack of political correctness. And therein lays the problem. Too many leftards presuming to speak for anyone but themselves.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Ok, back to normal again.

Your hatred and fear of freedom is understandable. I just don't agree.

All those Redskins that aren't offended offend me.
