Rachel Maddow has joined in in the left-leaning-media boycott of calling the Washington Redskins by its official name, instead awkwardly referring to the team as the “R-Word” throughout a recent segment. The MSNBC host called the actual name of the team “painfully racist.”
As I am 1/4 Wagon-Burner I state the following as a matter of record:
1. I am not offended by the use of words like "Redskins" for the names of stupid sports teams. Furthermore, they could be called the "Washington Chugs" and I still wouldn't be offended.
2. I think that Caucasian Guilt-ridden Liberals need to get down off their high-horse- bullshit like this "R Word" does absolutely NOTHING to help Native People, and never will. All it shows is how ineffectual they are, as pundits and to a greater extent, elected officials, and if I had a tomahawk Rachel Maddow would be first in line to have it buried in her forehead.
God damn it I love it when I get to play my "My Grannie is a Cherokee Indian" Card.

The only time I can remember the R-word being used (when not in reference to the NFL team) was in the theme song to "F-troop".
Racism is hot right now so the media is cashing in.
Take care and please.....................stay safe.

Careful. That'd cost somebody something to go correct. Give the libs the idea and the budget goes up again. Oh wait, rhetoric is cheaper than actually fixing a problem.
Not that there aren't a bunch of things in the budget that are WAYYYY worse items to blow cash on that'd make reasonable offsets.

Remember this one from a few years ago:
A bunch of college students in Colorado named their intramural buckets team "The Fightin' Whities." That was so white folks could see how offensive and hurtful such names are. And white folks began buying the T-shirts these guys made. $100,000 worth of 'em. The students gave the money to some Indian charity.

They print those shirts like they're going to teach someone a lesson. Better make sure you give that $100k to a minority scholarship fund so we can get more constitutional scholars and figureheads for La Raza.

Baf,
Did you read what I wrote? I mean, yeah, their whole point was to see how whites felt about being called "whities" and having a caricature picture representing them. And what whitie felt was that this was really cool.
