“Redskins” was OK for all these years. What happened to make these people suddenly “realize” it was racist? Could it be that they had no more witches to hunt? Could it be that they hate this country and themselves? Could it be that they are just looking for brownie points?

Alinsky. Pick a target. Polarize it. Attack it. It’s all about energizing the base. Create a crisis and profit thereby. BTW, is this hurting the Redskin’s sales? I’d think not. Probably helps.

The commies tried to do this to VW about chosing the name Toureg because the Toureg tribe had slaves. VW said, “F*ck you.” and that was the end of it.

There is a very small minority of people in this country that wants to punish other people for their thoughts and beliefs. They normally claim we should all be broad minded
but they have narrow minds themselves when it comes to this PC stuff.

They would try to change the name of the state, Oklahoma, if there was money in it. Oklahoma, by the way means, “red people.” These PC pimps are doing it for the money and know very well that red is also a name for them, as in “Red Commies.”

"What happened to make these people suddenly “realize” it was racist?"

Same goes for the Confederate Battle Flag. When I was a kid, growing up in 1970s Kentucky, my friends and I -- blacks and whites -- all had CBF stickers on our lunch boxes, patches on our jeans jackets, mini CBFs flying from the sissy bars on our bikes, etc. It was (and still is) a symbol of the South. Not a symbol of slavery or hate, but a symbol of Southern Pride.

It wasn't until Jesse Jacka** and Al Charlatan, et al, made it a racist symbol in the 80s and 90s, that it "became racist" (of course, it's not).

This flap over the Redskins name and flag is a perfect example of "first they came for the Jews, but I said nothing, because I was not a Jew." What's next? The Gadsden Flag? Your or my state flag? Old Glory? Either we stand together, or we hang separately, one by one.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
