The argument that it isn't a racist term because they use it among themselves is one of the most ignorant comments ever. if you cannot understand this then you are more ignorant than I thought. [Reply]

Hmm, interesting. This post doesn't jive with how I'd have assumed you'd feel about the situation.
For clarity, would you encourage a name change for the Redskins because its offensive? [Reply]

who cares? words are just words. they only bother you if you let them.
the fact is we are pretty stupid if we let are emotions and health be altered by a word.
but thats why they call it - spelling.. speaking casts spells.
why else would telling a kid he's stupid or evil ,over and over, then help psychologically f up his life? repeating these stupid racist arguments makes people believe them. they are unproven, unnecessary and untrue.
I keep pondering names related to the pioneers on the Oregon trail, or the pony express. But there's really no catchy name with the pony express. Maybe we could be the Kansas City Conestogas or something.
But now that I think about it, settling the west probably isn't acceptable behavior these days. [Reply]
