Washington Post editor says Texas Rangers name 'must go,' gets slammed by critics
Fox News ^ | July 13 2020 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

Washington Post Global Opinions editor Karen Attiah argued on Monday that the Texas Rangers as a team name "must go."

On the heels of the Washington Redskins retiring its name and mascot amid pressure from critics and corporate sponsors, an op-ed written by Attiah made the case that "to know the full history of the Texas Rangers is to understand that the team’s name is not so far off from being called the Texas Klansmen."

Growing up in Dallas, Attiah recalled going to Rangers games with her father as a child, but not realizing at the time that the Rangers "were a cruel, racist force when it came to the nonwhites who inhabited the beautiful and untamed Texas territory."

They came for the Redskins and the Indians. Tomorrow they will take away Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboys.

From the far left that makes the Chicoms look “moderate” & I suspect also from places like Terrell State (Mental) Hospital in TX & St. Elizabeth’s in DC.

NOT normal in IQ is likely also correct about such BIG MOUTHS & “riders in the DIMocRATS Clown Car’.
(The best thing for these morons to do is “tend to their own business” but I’d guess that that is too much to hope for, when one is dealing with mental midgets & “FOOLS in the public view”.)

Yours, TMN78247.

Bears have mauled black people, so Bears, Cubs, and Bruins must go. But the Carolina Black Panthers is a-ok.

#1. DC is full of them and she is one of the latest “stupids”. The Wash. Post now has the most psychopathic, anti-white, Marxist, and anti-American stable of writers in their history. Bezos must comb every major insane asylum in the US in his recruiting effort (aided by his psycho Editorial writers).

I’ve never seen the Post so anti-American as they are today. Thought that Bezos was pro-America. He’s pro-money and power. Nothing more, nothing less while the NY Times is always anti-America.
