Well... your Montana friends (may even be relatives of mine if they are from the Fort Peck Rez) don't speak for me and neither does this other guy. I have hated that name and wanted it changed since I was a little kid. My own relatives could not talk me into accepting this name (not that they would) is anything but…
Watch this and you may get some insight on this topic. Start at 3:42 to get right into it
Congress is probably the only way that people in the Native community and sensible humans who are offended by that name, can get any movement on this issue bucko.
If anyone called me that I would give them a swift, firm yet fair punch in the throat.
"how many of us can intelligently discuss a current, modern-day issue concerning Native Americans? How many can point out the location of a Native American reservation on a map?"
Heavens no....that would be offensive!
Makes sense. The Penguins got smoked by a vastly superior team. Why burn your house down after losing a fistfight? If they had tougher forwards and better D, perhaps they wouldnt have gotten swept? O-Fense cant do it all.
Calling people (like myself) who are offended by an offensive word, "douchebags" sure sounds like picking a side my friend.
Smart take
So....doing nothing is better than doing something?
Shocking. I wonder how much this cat got paid to try to speak for all Native people.
I hate the name. Its defenders however are not limited to white folks, so lets not get it twisted. There are not many of us around so we get overlooked as a culture mainly in my opinion. People only think about casinos and Dances with Wolves when thinking about Indian people. From where I stand, defending the name…
Yeah, that stings but "Redskins" is an ugly fucking name.
NO.
Totally. You can see at one point Williams is looking at him with all the calm yet stern confidence of a man who knows he could whoop dat ass.
Mariano? Is that you?
