WaPo poll finds 90% of Native Americans NOT offended by Washington Redskins name.

Uh oh. So NOBODY cares.

Bad news, outrage peddlers. We’ve known for some time that nobody really cares about your efforts to make America clamor for the end of the racist monstrosity known as the “Washington Redskins.” It’s been a non-issue for most people since day one. However, if you hate that ugly football team, things just took a turn for the worse.

Not only is the majority ambivalent, but a new Washington Post poll has been released and, according to the data, Social Justice Warriors have failed to convince Native Americans that they should care either.

Liberals don’t care about facts.

They only care about how they “FEEL”.

On October 2, 2014 Michael Medved stated that there was “no chance” that the Redskins would be using that name in five years time. I can’t wait for 2019 to email him and ask when he would go back in the air with his mea culpa.

I’m sure the poverty, lack of employment, alcoholism, and high rape statistics are distracting them from the cause.

I am a little offended by the Term Washington DC, but I don’t think they should change the name of the Washington Redskins over just that.

If we remove all Indian names from sports, liberals will just start claiming that we’re trying to “annihilate Indian culture from our memories”, or something ridiculous like that.

To stop the complaining, we have to chop off the tongues and fingers of liberals. That should be something everyone else can get behind.

Doesn’t matter.

They won.

Here we are distracted with another nothing burger story so they have achieved their objective.

Obviously liberals don’t care about numbers. To them, zero persons being offended is enough to justify a name change, because US whites are responsible for the Indian disaster. And US whites think football is fun. It’s about politics, as everything is to them.

I don’t care if they are offended or not. I am offended by lots of things — nobody cares.

100% of white, brainwashed, guilt-ridden social justice warriors are offended.

Due to the demeaning, inferior connotations
of the name Washington Redskins, the football
team will henceforth be known as the Andover Redskins.

Obama’s got eight months to fix that.

Obama's Red Guards are expert at creating division and confusion. Find an issue and focus on it. Create or exaggerate particular events that support the narrative. Organize insiders and cronies to create a public image and controversy and have media disseminate it. They will have many brainless Americans feeling confused and agitated, and bleating the politically correct slogans in the hope it all goes away.

When the % is in their favor then numbers count.

When theynare in the tin minority they demand the overwhelming majority isracist/sexist/whatever and demand everyone kowtow tothe tiny minority.

Majority rules when they are the majority. Tyranny of the minority when they are the minority.

But to liberals none of this matters.

It doesn’t matter to.liberals that actual American Indians are not offended by these nicknames.

What matters is that liberals have decided that they should be offended, and so liberals have decided to do the outrage meltdown routine over this issue.

Apparently members of these tribes are not as sophisticated as liberals, and don’t understand that they are supposed to be outraged by sports nicknames.
