Hostile;3172283 said:From their racist heritage to their racist mascot name
Of course it is a racist mascot name. Wake up.FightingIrishman;3172313 said:Given your penchant for NFL History, I am really shocked to read this from you.
I know that the Skins were the last team to integrate because the Kennedy Administration forced Marshall's hand, but racist mascot name?
I can see where the "heritage" reach comes from though being that Marshall was a known and loud-mouthed racist.
I repeat, wake up. The name is a derogatory slander of Native American Indians. If you do not believe it is, please come to Arizona. I would like to take you to the Cibeque Apache Indian Reservation so you can walk up to a group of them and call them Commanders.FightingIrishman;3172320 said:Actually, I read a paper on this once. About the the origin of the term and mascot....
Was by a group of anthropologists from some Ivy Leage University....
Neither were deemed racist. Heck even the mascot was designed and presented to them by a group of Native Americans.
It refers to Indian scalps. I have studied etymology and History. You are wrong and are citing the arguments made by devotees of the team itself in rationalizing and condoning the mascot. A curious tactic.FightingIrishman;3172324 said:The term actually refers to the Red Warpaint the Algonquin Nations would use... not the color of their skin.
But hey, don't let facts get in the way.
It is like someone suggesting that the term "Cowboy" is sexist.
Ah, the two faced approach. "It isn't racist but I wouldn't dare say it to the people themselves."FightingIrishman;3172335 said:No thanks on the trip.... Not a smart idea. Just saying if you look at all the facts, it really isn't as bad as modern folks take it.
If it was deemed "hate speech" the Government would have intervened by now.
