This black dress is fucking FANTASTIC.
Those dresses!
At this point, multiple commenters (including myself) have linked you to resources explaining why your assertions in this thread are incorrect. I linked you to an old 2001 poll and two further pieces written specifically by a native activist. Others have linked you to native groups who address the mascot issue.
Those polls - by your own admission - dont matter since they are so highly problematic they arent even WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION, but it appears your confirmation bias has skewed your perception on what a credible argument or piece of evidence is.
The problem with that is THE ONLY THING WORST THAN NO DATA is REALLY,…
The people who love to apply this 'majority rules' mindset to an issue that has objective right/wrong sides are the same idiots who are all "I can't believe gay people want equal rights. They're such a small percentage of society. Why should everyone else have to accept it?"
I...I just can't with this logic of yours. So the "commonly known facts" I cited that completely disprove your point... you apparently agree with? And that somehow flawed methodology is not enough to reject those polls, but one anecdote about a guy's father-in-law is more than enough evidence for you?
Do you think the Oneida nation is a lot of non-Native folks speaking on behalf of Native people? http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/sep…
Sigh. I see you're recylcing the same old survey that had terrible methodology and is regarded as completely worthless by anyone with any basic statistical training. Though even if that were accurate (which again, it is not even close to accurate), many of us might argue 10% of an ethnic group feeling insulted by your…
Yes, Wise was on a reservation on an unrelated assignment, and when people learned he was from the Washington Post, they brought up the subject to him.
Whether or not the name is offensive is sort of beside the point. It is, unlike the word Indian or Brave or Chief or Seminole or Illini or Chippewa, a slur. It just is. The question is whether or not it's objectively ok to have a racial slur as a team nickname. That Native Americans sort of go along to get along…
Also, the offensiveness is not just from the term 'redskin' itself. The whole reason that sports teams have names related to Indians was because of the racist mythology of them as being savage warriors (which was used to justify the campaign of genocide carried out against them).
Actually, Redskin is exactly the same as Nigger (I assume that's the n-word to which you refer). The reason "nigger" is censored in the media is because there are enough Black Americans to raise a big enough fuss about not wanting to be called a racial slur. For some reason I can't quite place, there are very few…
I know the kind of person you're talking about. I know a woman who won't let her daughter use some of the equipment in a science class because it may have once "been exposed" to play dough. When it was pointed out that the equipment had been thoroughly washed and sterilized and also that the child wouldn't be eating…
Not only does she look fantastic (terrific haircut, great makeup, smashing legs), but I am getting Hillary Clinton biopic vibes.

I never realized how ridiculously sweet dobermans are until I passed out on my friends couch and woke up to realize that at some point in the night her doberman had totally wiggled his way in so that I was spooning him, best drunken cuddling EVER!
