So, how small of a fraction of Navajo is the very native-sounding Mark Beasley, lol? Somebody’s trying too hard. The Cherokee I’ve known would call him a member of the Wannabee tribe.
To: rightistight
Mark Beasley has too much time on his hands.

Need to start changing the name of many towns, cities, and states then.

I’ve been saying, that once they get them to change the “Redskins”, they’ll go after the “Washington” next, since he owned slaves.

Can't wait till they go after Target Stores...because the word "target" is offensive.

Indiana has suggested exactly that. The state has billboards —in Illinois —that read, “Illannoyed? Come to Indiana, a state that works.”

Our culture is caving to every whiney 3 year old in the room. And the saddest thing is that the 3 year olds don't recognize that the Indian names (or nicknames) were applied out of RESPECT for the native Americans that they were named for.
The "redskins" were renowned for being tough fighters and wily opponents. Unlike being wimpy, crybaby opportunists like the originator of this suit.
When it gets to whining about Buffalo by a guy whose tribe never saw one, this PC BS has gone a bit too far.

Then they need to rename that icon of depravity - Chippewa Street.

Maria Cantwell was all over the demand to change the name of the Washington Redskins. I wrote to her and told her I was offended that her state was named after a man who owned slaves. And all kinds of schools and streets in her state are named Washington. I want that changed. :)

Years ago there was a fish fry restaurant named Jake's on the bank of Blossom Creek in West Seneca at Clinton Street and Borden Road. Fried walleye on Friday nights, pitchers of beer and every WWII vet smoking through the night. Blanche was the best waitress by far.
Those were the days when people smoked in restaurants and the waitress was actually named Blanche.
To: Zuben Elgenubi
Small world, I used to live about a mile west from there, towards Union ... Very familiar with the locale ;-)
I hadn’t been at that place for years; last time was a few years ago for a funeral dinner, from that parlor across the corner. I guess it’s been under newer management for quite awhile.
