Obama’s only got about eight months to fix that.
Meanwhile 87% of people are offended by the name “Washington”
It's Choctaw for "The Land of the Red Man"
surprising that the post published the results of that poll.
The noisy ones get all the media. So it always appears that when these protestors show up on the tube or in the street that there is a groundswell when in fact there is not. Just a bunch of hapless jerks wanting to flap their gums. Operation Wall Street, BLM, etc...
But Harry Reid and Fauxahontas are bothered....their knickers are in a twist
I am not bothered by the “fighting Irish” why should they be?
Must be trying to boost their credibility in advance of the heavy lying they plan to do during the election campaign...
The point is to avoid offending a certain class of white folks.
The problem is Progressive liberals, not Indians, homosexuals, the transgendered, blacks, Muslims, etc.
Too often we confuse this. Progressives at the intellectual core don’t give a rats a** about Indians, homosexuals, LGBTQs, blacks, Muslims, etc. They care about power for an elite vanguard. They care about playing on the basic ignorance and compassion of the American (or western) political middle to generate political support for this vanguard.
Too bad....
This attorney sure sounds like a lib. But does this statement mean she doesn't accept gender self-identification either?
Something I learned way back was, that to us, the most frightful words to hear were; "we're from the government and we're here to help you". Not those exact words but the meaning is the same.
This sums up why the gub'mint despises A.I.'s. In the 70's, the Left really hated us - just didn't fit into that box that they had made for us...
Which proves again that these useless catfights from the left are beatable by simply being vigilant.
It is usually only a small percent (even as low as 1 single person) who complain and are offended and demand political correctness.
When actually, publicly confronted, they back down.
If not confronted, they consider they have won another small battle, and they prepare for the next one. They basically become a majority of one.
I recently asked a Navajo friend in Arizona what he thinks about the Washington Redskins. He said, “The Navajo Nation suffers from unemployment and poverty rates of over 40%. The last thing I give a rat’s ass about is the name of a football team in Washington.”
I think that sports teams are missing a bet by not contracting with Indian tribes for non-ceremonial and non-sacred art, slogans, even cheers.
That is, the tribes artists could create a logo, maybe using tribal artistic motifs, use words from their language as analogs to typical team names, provide lots of copyrighted artwork as decor for the team, etc. In exchange, the tribe and its artists are paid, and maybe there are some seats set aside for the tribe for home games.
This would make the team relatively bulletproof against these liberal racist Nasty Nellies.
It’s not about indians. It’s about left wing idiots who hate this country and are trying to get us all to bow down in abject apology.
