Blackskins, the new N-Word!
I hear the gays are offended by Green Bay’s name....
Blackhawk is a tribal name, is it not? Redskins is a generic name that anyone can claim is offensive. Maybe Washington should change their name to a tribal name like Mohawks. I wonder if that would pass muster?
Don’t forget the Cowboys, Bucaneers, Raiders, Steelers, and the 49ers. Can’t have teams with names that exemplify evil groups of white people killing and exploiting native peoples and natural resources to quench their ruthless need for wealth. Oh sorry, I was in liberal mindset mode there for a minute. This is ridiculous. Political correctness has gone into overdrive. Next it will be onto names on our food. Can’t have cookies called oreos and God forbid we should have Aunt Jemima frozen waffles and Uncle Ben’s rice......
It’s the difference between a team named the Brooklyn Chasids versus one called the Staten Island Kikes.
Redskins is not the neutral name of a tribe, or a generic group of people, it’s a derogatory term for a “savage” enemy that we tried hard to exterminate for a century.

The Blackhawks should worry. Liberals never stop assaulting the culture. Look what they’ve done with cigarette smoke. Look what they’ve done with gay rights. Anyone who thinks they’ll go away with a few political victories is sadly mistaken.
How about the Los Angeles Angels MLB team? Doesn’t the name offend atheists? Wait a minute...better change the name of the city itself. Then there are those offensive ‘saint’ cities like Santa Barbara, etc. Man, this is going to get rough.
This is not the hill I want to die on. Daniel Snyder’s licensing rights are just no concern of mine. WHO CARES. They should change their name to the Hogs in honor of the O-line of their last good teams, and be done with it. Why is this something the Republican party should be fighting for?
How about the names of towns being offensive! There are lots of cities with Indian tribal names Just look at Oklahoma, Alabama and Mississippi.
Then there is that evil RED MAN chewing tobacco and cigar store Indians.
“Kaw-Liga”
KAW-LIGA, was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store
KAW-LIGA - A, just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer “YES” or “NO”.
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he’d talk
KAW-LIGA - A, too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knotty pine.
[Chorus:]
Poor ol’ KAW-LIGA, he never got a kiss
Poor ol’ KAW-LIGA, he don’t know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
KAW-LIGA, that poor ol’ wooden head.
Patriots were nothing but slave owners.
Vikings were the first oppressors of Native Americans
Change the name to the African American Hawks.
I find blackskins, pinkskins, yellowskins and redskins to be in bad taste where I find blackhawks, seminoles, indians, etc. to be fine.
I think is comes from old expressions like “skin the bastard alive.”
The Green Bay Packers are next.
black panters?
It’s from an individual name, Chief Blackhawk. He was Fox or Sauk tribe, I believe. He was, presumably a brave man, so a good choice as a Symbol for a very masculine team sport.
Conservative blacks will not be offended by the name, but certain litigious scab pickers might be offended by the first part of Chief Blackhawk’s name.
Abraham Lincoln, who unlike the current occupant of the White House, served in Military, fought in the Blackhawk wars. He stopped overnight at a spring near Whitewater Wisconsin and his horse was stolen. He had to walk all the way back to Salem Illinois.
The African-American Hawks would be more a more sensitive name.
