LOL, that’s tragically funny.

MY COUSIN BILL HATES THE NAME “BUFFALO BILLS”

THEY SHOULD CHANGE IT TO THE BUFFALO WILLIAMS

If you saw a Native American walking across the street, would you yell out, “Hey, Redskin, you dropped your hat’’?

No. Nor would you say "Hey Comanche" or "Hey Seminole". But Redskins is a term used by dozens of Indian-majority schools around America. They see it as a point of pride, not shame or dishonor".

"If you saw a Native American Norwegian walking across the street, would you yell out, “Hey, Redskin Viking, you dropped your hat’’?"

The author is a racist idiot. Most of us just don't think that way. His wiring is faulty, not ours. Wear your Redskin team clothing with pride. You can even wear your Viking team clothing with pride, though as a Wisconsite I cough a little at that one ;-)

Funny how it’s only white liberals who are getting upset

[Charlemagne on the Fox]

Wonder why the Sun Crimes has discontinued their comments sections . . .

[Pecos]

I also doubt that the author, or I would yell out, “Hey, White Man, you just dropped your hat”, or “Hey black man, you just dropped your hat.” I’d probably say “Sir”, or “Mister”.

And I wonder how much longer the Chicago Sun will be able to publish before they run out of money and are forced to become just another of the ten billion web sites out there?

“If you saw a Native American walking across the street, would you yell out, “Hey, Redskin, you dropped your hat’’?”

Only a brain-dead liberal would classify someone by their race/ethnicity.

What non-racist non-liberals would say; “Hey, you dropped your hat!”

[Slings and Arrows]

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

[WayneS]

...and, I assume, if he had dropped his hat.

[C. Edmund Wright]

yep, another good point…..

[RichInOC]

I think I could live just as long and die happier if I never, ever heard another white guy go on about how horrible it is that we call Washington, D.C’s NFL franchise the Redskins.

[N. Theknow]

If you saw a Native American walking across the street, would you yell out, “Hey, Redskin, you dropped your hat’’?

Is it more insulting to call someone a redskin or to imply that Indians are so stupid they would not realize they had dropped their hat?

Awwwww, Jeez. Moron alert!

"We’ve evolved.

Condorcet's fallacy of human perfectibility. No, we haven't evolved, not in the last 50,000 years, anyway.

This is Soviet "New Man" crap, not reasoned argument. "You should all be good little Soviets." Get lost, chump.

[Impy]

This is about compassion for people who don’t have a voice.

Indians can't talk? I don't understand.

[Laslo Fripp]

And, if I ran into you in San Francisco, I certainly wouldn’t yell: “HEY, PACKER, YOU DROPPED YOUR HAT!”

j/k

[Amagi]

Where was this clown on thus trumped-up issue say 10 years ago?
Who is he that I might avoid any further politically correct stupidity that he will spew?
