But Stephen Colbert did not send out that out-of-context tweet. His handle is @StephenAtHome. The tweet came from @ColbertReport which is probably owned by Viacom or Comedy Central, and managed by some intern. Yes, the tweet was out of context and bad, and even Stephen Colbert himself said that he agreed with the…

First of all, I think to "whiteslain" you have to be white, which I am not. Secondly, again he is not making fun of Asian people. He is pointing out that we wouldn't stand for an obvious racist organization name if it were targeted at most other cultures/ethnicities. Yet, we stand idly by when that racism and ethnic…

Here's the thing, what colbert is pointing out (quite effectively due the outrage) is that as a general culture Americans don't get offended by certain racism or slurs over others even though they are JUST as offensive. People passively allow a team to be called the redskins. I mean HONESTLY-can you imagine a team…

The point is that the oppressed people weren't the butt of the joke. Snyder was the butt of the joke. As far as rape goes: http://jezebel.com/5925186/how-to…

"Too racist for Kentucky", is a pretty high bar.

Man, if you're too racist for Kentucky, you're really fucking racist.

Teach them negroes and messicans to think just cause they pay taxes that they have the same rights as a white man. The Cordish Companies are racist scum who pull this crap at all their restaurants. Probably a division of Koch industries or Paula Dean Enterprises.

this idea is dependent on three independently stupid assumptions.

Let's not forget, in Rand Paul's America this is JUST FINE because "the market" would ensure that the bar would probably be out of business soon anyway.

that settles it. as long as you're actually helping someone with tangible benefits, you can call them whatever the hell you want. because not using the racial slur isn't going to solve their problems, right?

So basically you're admitting you're just being bought off. I guess dignity has a price.

I'm sure you didn't know how to use the toilet until someone told you either.

So let me get this straight: because you've never heard anyone use the term "redskin" to describe a Native American that apparently makes it not offensive. Has it ever occurred to you that the reason you don't hear people calling referencing Native Americans as "redskins" is because it's FUCKING OFFENSIVE. How many…

Yeah, feigning outrage is an asshole move, just like dismissing someone else's concerns as feigned outrage.

Valid point Jacob, except that this isn't an either/or proposition. Dan Snyder can donate money AND change the name... he doesn't need the name Redskins in order to improve life on a reservation.

but bitching never did anything for the Native Americans. You can criticize his motives all you want and that's fine...chances are if he's not in this situation, he's not doing this.

But I never then, nor since, have ever heard anyone use the term "Redskin" when referencing Native Americans.

So just because you've never heard someone say "Redskins", it isn't offensive? Well shit, I've never been called "Negro", but you know what, it's still offenisve. I know for a fact, if there was a team called the "Crackers", a bunch of white folk, the same ones bitching about the Skins named being changed would be all…
