I'm offended.
I fully expect the patent office to act equally
We need Rush, Beck, Hanity, Levin....these guys need to find out and give us the names of the people who made this decision. No way these people making these decisions should be able to do it without being named.
Since when can Commerce just make up new laws?
So now the Patent Office is the arbiter of what the government finds acceptable? And what ist verbotten!
I find Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben offensive. Who do I contact?
This should illustrate to everyone how deep the problem is. We are intellectually and morally divided. The people on the other side control the central government.
Here we are 20 trillion in debt with the world collapsing around us and what is Obozo concerned with? . . . a football team that has had its logo for 75 years. Someone posted yesterday that pretty soon hispanic groups are going to protest the Cleveland Browns. Names acceptable to Obozo Washington Transgendereds,
What if you find Marxism offensive?
Pray America wakes up
Orwell s world is alive when the PATENT office is now part of the re education process.
This crap really needs to stop.
I'm offended.

Maybe Snider should start with DEMANDING INDIANajax should be offensive. As is INDIANapolis, INDIANa, any city that refers to a Saint, any team with a ‘Religious’ name, lets get those Rivers and Lakes while we are at it.
Colts, Cowboys, Mustangs, Stallions etc should also be banned.
All players with the name of Mohhamed (First or Last)
I am sure if we try hard enough we can just about BAN everything.
Gentlemen and Gentleladies, we have crested the mountain and heading towards the valley at full speed and no brakes.
The ride will not kill you, it is the sudden stop that will do us in as there is virtually NO WAY this can be completely turned around.
Just like a Drunk or Junkie, ‘You ain’t seen nothing till you hit the bottom’.
I emailed the U.S. Patent Office and told them I find Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben racially offensive and that they should cancel their trademarks.
I am concerned about what they are going to call my favorite potatoes.
Horsefeathers!
Racist Trademarks. Slavery, Orient, Colonialism and Commodity Culture

Corporations all over the United States use “Indian” names, and companies have logos and trademarks with “Indian” themes. From the blue-eyed woman in “Indian Princess” garb on the door of the trucks of the “Navajo” trucking company to the “Indian princess” depicted on the Land ‘O Lakes butter packages, stereotypical images of Native Americans are everywhere.
Many corporations add insult to injury by not only appropriating Native images and traditions, but scrambling them in the process. Tuscarora Yarns, for example, has chosen to represent itself with a logo that is a stereotypical image of a Native American in a Northern Plains Indian eagle feather headdress, often misnamed a “war bonnet.” My grandfather —a full blood Cherokee and Tuscarora — was born and raised in North Carolina, the traditional homeland of both these Native peoples. Knowing this, I educated myself about everything I could that related to both nations. Anyone else who took the trouble to do so would know that Tuscarora people did not wear this type of regalia.
