Please go back and read the Declaration of Independence, you obviously do not have a clue as to that document's clear intent.



All are created equal under the law. Please, read up on your history.



In fact your arguments are suspiciously similar to racist overtones of the 3/5 Compromise which counted slaves as 3/5 of a person, but did not consider Indians to even equal a person.

Technically, the DOI and constitution insured the equal rights of all white, land-owning males between ages 18 and 50

At least, that was the mindset of the wealthy, white, slaveowning racists that wrote them

I wish I could do the math...

I hate fractions....

A cool lyric that I like is...

But they weren't being racist!!! That is just some made up liberal crap that all these over sensitive minorities of minorities are crying about in court.


Never mind the enslavement of Africans and the massacre of the Native American populace, it was so long ago, why should anyone care about any of that today. It's nobodies fault.


Sometimes wrong is wrong, and right is right.

Good article...!



But the RedPunk fans just don't get it...and never will!

If they love Snyder so much, what would it hurt to change the name to the Washington Fools?

:worthy2: Best team name ever.

I have a better idea though. Send the Commanders to Birmingham and make them the Alabama Rednecks, then turn the Giants into the Harlem Black Guys, finally change the 49ers to the San Francisco Gay's.

With everything going on in the world today,someone out there is worried about the nickname of a football team. !!!!

The 60's Civil Rights Movement began b/c one tired colored women refused to sit in the back of the bus.


This all occurred w/the Vietnam "Conflict" in the background. Just b/c something seems trivial to you, does not mean it is not worth fighting for.

Racist? I said I agree by law everyone is equal. Now you throw out the R word. Whatever dude.

BAT is a good name.

You should take a few courses on Chattel Slavery in the Americas, the Middle Passages, and Indigenous Civilizations before the Europeans came here. Read about what was done to the people that no human being could sanction and do to another human being unless they were racists, read the Lynch Letter, read about Jim Crowe, Visit a museum, I guarantee you will find someone who cares about these issues today, and yes it was someone's fault.

I have read Charles Johnsons' Middle Passages and I am very familiar w/the Lynch Letter and Jim Crowe. The response was sarcastic/tongue in cheek for some of the ostriches in here.


Thank you for your passionate response, I am glad there are those who still care.
