So you've spent a good amount of time here then?

You're very familiar with Detroit, huh?

I'd hazard a guess that very few even use it as a Native American slur anymore.

Nice

I'm going to meander out onto a limb and guess that you don't have much of an economics background, do you?

No, and that's not the point. That never was the point. The N-word becoming taboo didn't alleviate the over representation of African-Americans in the lower class, either. That doesn't mean people should use the word. Especially as their NFL team mascot.

A name of a fucking football team hurts not a single Native American. It doesn't oppress them.

Yes, clearly you watched the video, where Native Americans explained why they are not keen on the word. "The name hurts no one." Says the guy who isn't effected by the slur and hasn't been marginalized for the last, what has it been now, three centuries?

Of course you got had by not actually reading the story. Congrats.

Not to be pedantic, be was an All-American and recruited by the best schools in the country. So, yeah, he was a pretty big deal in high school.

Well, it's compelling in the sense that it perfectly refutes your initial post. But, yeah, they should be able to use the name because Rock517, certified white guy who moonlights as a racist, says it's okay.

Ha!

Apparently these Native Americans give a shit.

Who's voting? Where have the results of the vote been published? Please, I implore you to provide links.

What's that now?

We don't seem to hear from them, just the aforementioned white folk looking to make themselves feel better (white guilt).

Yeah, please provide some evidence that "Fighting Irish" is or was a racial slur, and there will be outrage.

Where dem polls at?

This leads me to believe that you don't know what a mesa is.
