i’M surprised some groups haven’t tried to get the breed name of the Rhodesian Ridgeback dog changed because of something like this.

Zimbabwean Ridgeback just doesn’t sound right. Wonderful dogs, by the way.

They simple don’t like western culture. That’s a large area of the world to hate and incredible futile to try and destroy.

WTF. More trolling for revisionist history.
I hold no responsibility for Scott, or the 4000 dead Cherokee. I was not alive then.
we now live in a different world. I don’t really care what they call the birds.But its weird to start renaming everything.I think it lacks courage and confidence in the present.

Jogger toes? That’s just an affliction from too much running.

He is relieved that he lives outside their range so he doesn’t have to see them and be reminded of Winfield Scott and have his day ruined by being triggered to the memory of something he never personally experienced. He needs help.

All those Latin names—after the Roman Empire was built on the backs of slaves.
The horror!

When do we get to chop off the head of whatever Robespierre is out there and end this reign of terror?

If we are to relive history, we relive it all, not just certain parts, taken out of context.
During the Revolutionary War, at the behest of the British, the Cherokee and Creeks slaughtered thousands of settlers, in the most brutal fashion.
One of the reasons for removal to Oklahoma, after the war, was to seperate the Cherokee from the remaining settlers, who would seek revenge.
Andrew Jackson wanted it to end.

My grandma used to call them that. But I think that she called them Niggard Toes, because the grocer who sold them was so stingy with her order....

There is NO name that cannot be associated with “hate speech” in any way shape or form.
This is irrational nonsense perpetuated by RETARDS
