[Uncle Miltie]

Ban "DEPARTMENT OF".

[The Great RJ]

The Washington Red Skins should have a more appropriate name. Perhaps the Washington Cleptocrats.

[IronJack]

I’m not. And it offends me too.

[moovova]

I want the word God off the dollar bill.

Once that had been accomplished...just send the “offensive” ones to me.

[sportutegrl]

How about the NAACP? Isn't the term, "Colored" offensive to African Americans. What about the United Negro College Fund? Isn't "Negro" an offensive slur? I demand these organizations change their names.

What about the YMCA? Almost every word in the name is offensive to someone.

Let’s throw city name into the mix too -

How the heck can “Corpus Christi” be allowed to keep it’s name? /S

[sheik yerbouty]

Ditto, and add Eric(0vomit’s Stedman) to the list; also 0prah Khazer..

Aunt Jemima . . . Uncle Ben . . . Nerds . . . Twinkies . . . Indian Motor Cycles . . . Quaker Oats . . . and so on.

"Let’s throw city name into the mix too"

If we changed every place name that was derived from an Indian word or a Catholic saint, we'd be talking about hundreds if not thousands.

Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.
