    Of course some of us are bored —-less. I’m watching reruns of Archer whose writers must be drooling over discussing the new ISIS tearing the —- out of Iraq right now. They came over on potato boats. Rampage.

    So how do we go about getting Planters to change their racially insensitive name? It’s long past due.

    bill, agreed about Frank Underwood. Can’t wait for season three.

    I have the good judgement of BJD to thank for turning me onto House of Cards, which I devoured binge style in a matter of a few days.

    which may or may not make one look in the mirror and think…

    And it continues.

    Acts of honor and respect turned into slurs by the PC left.

    Imagine how disrespected the families of individuals must feel when specific ships are named: USS Nimitz, USS Reagan, etc. What a disgrace.

    In then United States today, the namesApache, Comanche, Chinook, Lakota, Cheyenne and Kiowa apply not only to Indian tribes but also to military helicopters. Add in the Black Hawk, named for a leader of the Sauk tribe. Then there is the Tomahawk, a low-altitude missile, and a drone named for an Indian chief, Gray Eagle. Operation Geronimo was the end of Osama bin Laden.

    Great dig, foose.

    Now we need a grenade that we can call “redskin” and be done with this nonsense.

    What are you even talking about?

    Has anyone complained about any of those things?

    It’s hilarious that you think “Redskins” is a term of honor and respect, when we’ve already established no one would use it to refer to a Native American person.

    And yes, the name “Redskins” does refer to Native American people.

    I wonder if someone can name a wholesome American thing that has been taken away because of the loony bin PC leftist secular marxist regime.

    ^Freedom Fries. Lol. Not sure who was responsible for that one.

    So the UND Fighting Sioux is offensive because it degrades its namesake, the Sioux, and Native American in general.

    But the Elon Fighting Christians was offensive because it exalted its namesake, and was thus insensitive to non Christians.

    Just like the Ole Miss Rebels was offensive because it paid homage to its namesake, and thus, the confederacy, and thus slavery. Had to go 3 degrees on that one.

    While any team named Warriors disparages its namesake, and thus indirectly, native Americans.

    Got it?

    So was Paul Brown insult himself when he named the Cleveland Browns?

    I know Bob Johnson did, when he named his NBA franchise after himself. But I don’t think that was intentional.

    The American Flag. Schools, houses, Fire Stations, uniforms, municipal locations, etc all across the country.

    And you still haven’t changed your ethnically offensive username so you have zero credibility in this discussion.

    Inform yourself a lil more then come back.

    Simon Waxman has an entire article complaining about it in the Washington Post.

    The Link didn’t save.

    Again, what are you talking about?

    Who said Fighting Sioux is offensive?

    I can’t find anything on the Fighting Christians, other than they changed their name. There was one reference to changing demographics at the school.

    Ol’Miss, debatable, and depends on your opinion of the reason for the civil war.

    Who has ever claimed ‘Warriors’ is offensive? Why does the word warrior refer to Native Americans? Is the Wounded Warrior project a Native American organization?

    Has anybody ever complained that people using their own given names is offensive? Ever? In the history of the world?

    What are you talking about?

    You made the claim, it’s your responsibility to provide the supporting evidence.

    While we’re at it, has the trademark been revoked on any of these things? Because that’s all that happened here.

    The commies took the American flag away??? Those bastards!

    Can you name some of these schools, houses, fire stations, uniforms, and municipal locations ‘all across the country’ that were taken away because they were offensive?

    When the trademark on my username gets revoked, I’ll let you know.

    PS: Dietz’s Native American heritage is now under question, but yes, the intent of the name was to honor him and his claimed heritage.

    In conjunction with

    We were taking about the Redskins, you posted the above, which indicates you think ‘redskin’ represents honor and respect.
