first, best, biggest!

I heard it was the Covid

good thing they weren't White Russians..... BRLM

Didn't we already silently agree that it's counter productive to use such statistics?
If we do, then BLM needs to STFU about cops, because the bare numbers don't support their claims.
But like the priests before them, there are things that NEED to be addressed.
Bad cops shouldn't have a support network.
And murdering thugs shouldn't be protected by the BLM protesters.

Didn't think that even you and I could disagree on this one.

Founded by Marxists and wants to destroy the nuclear family.

Sounds like a great group.

If you don’t think African Americans matter you’re a bad person.

If your a political BLM you’re also a bad person.

Huh?
You literally said the opposite of what I posted.
You'll stop at nothing to try to make your point.

Here. I'll spell it out for you:
I said "bad cops shouldn't have a support network".
You counter with "Police do have a support network, of other police blah blah blah"
Yet it's framed like you're contradicting me.

I said that murdering thugs shouldn't be protected by the BLM protesters.
You say essentially the same thing above.

So how can you begin your post with "none of what you imagine in that statement is true"?

nevermind.
We don't want to go down that rabbit hole mind of yours.

umm, OK.

^ probably about that time.

Can't say I'll miss it.

And although this is the one team name that a person could at least make a reasonable argument against, I find it petty and thin skinned to be so offended as to demand it be changed.

Keep it. Change it.
I won't lose sleep.

But we've become a nation of triggered snowflakes just looking to be offended.

Suck it up, buttercup.
We're not here to keep you safe from the word-demons.

we gotta go back and fix an old wrong in the record books: do we really want to see something as blatant as "Sonny Sixkiller" ???

He played in the Hula Bowl and I have his autograph somewhere in my box of memories.

I vote the Redskins to change their name to the Dickskinners...........I think it'll bring them much more respect in the NFC East

they'll always be losers with Snyder as the owner

Iirc, he played most, if not all of his pro career in Canada. He was on the shorter side, 6’ at the most and his scrambling style was better suited for the Northern league.

Edit: Googled him and although he had NFL and CFL tryouts, he only played in the WFL, the Hawaii team to be exact. Totally forgot about that.

Jim Thorpe, Carlisle Indian school.
designed to wipe out Indian culture...

They’re not Indians you ignorant racists!
They’re Native Americans!!!

Nothing else you have posted will be considered.
You will be banned!!!

If he had no issue with you calling him a dirty wop and you both were good with it,
I could see where that would be OK.

But for him to call you "snowflake" instead of "One who floats gently to the earth"?
Now, that's truly repugnant...

After the 1971 Hula Bowl, a bunch of my friends and I saw Plunkett, his Mom and couple other people in Waikiki while we were waiting at a bus stop. As they were walking past us, gave him the “Howzit” head nod. We were all too scared to ask for his autograph

he woulda walked away.

My memory is failing me.
Did I say that I wanted to call you an injun?
Or even that I should be allowed to do so?
Or was I only saying that you should learn to deal with it like an adult?
I'd hate to accuse you of misrepresenting what was discussed.

For the record, dirty wop is considered redundant.

A. I am part native American. My great grandfather was 1/4 Wompanoag, so it's just a tiny sliver. But I always have an urge to take back what I give. So there's that.
B. I live in Mashpee Massachusetts. Home of the Womanoag. People of the first light. My neighborhood borders the reservation. No, I don't claim to be part of the tribe. But I've been a strong and vocal supporter of their rights since moving to town 20 years ago.
(side note: although the annual pow wow was covid-cancelled, we heard the drum beats all weekend from our house).

I didn't know I had any real Native blood until fairly recently. My great grandfather's stories were always vague. And he may not even have been a full 1/4. My older brother is doing the ancestry thingy.

I've never been called an Indian slur. I don't look the part.
But I've heard the dumb Italian jokes and responded to the person directly. Not to society. And my favorite book for a long time was an Italian joke book. Actually half Italian and half Polish. The book, not me. that would be painful.

It's cute how you assume a simple name calling makes a person racist.
When you call someone a mother f'er do you really think they fuq their mother?
When you tell someone to fuq themselves, do you think they will if they're capable?

It's a name. They're used in anger and in jest. It can be a verbal punch or a term of perverse endearment.

The fact that you CHOOSE to assign a singular reason is more a reflection of yourself. Which is fine. You know you better than I do.
And I like my feathers ruffled.
No, not my headdress. That would be disrespectful.

It's good to be back :D

1/4 is a lot, I wouldn't call that a sliver. It's enough to where if you can prove it, you could get registered.

Anyway, most the people I've had this same argument with were older folks who put it on their time comming up and their belief in not changing who they are for anything. Most of the people are in my own family. After years of digging, poking and prodding some of those closest to me, you start to figure out that there's an underlying belief in absolutes.

So I think the issue is more fundamental in humans. Most of us suck at math and have no concept of probabilities. It results in a belief in absolutes, which is more likely to promote feelings of "us and them".

I've been guilty of this too... us and thems can be fun, but when you break it down to what it is at it's core, it's that for some reason you consider yourself better than someone else in the them category for what ever reason. Think football!!! Ya, us and them (go broncos).

Anyway, when you use that same thought process when dealing with race, you're basically thinking... I'm better than them at a fundamental biological level.... but it's been scientifically proven that's not the case... it's a crap shoot.

Personally, I try my best not to use racist terms... not because I think doing so makes me a non-racist, but because I don't want anyone to mistake me as one. Because the only way we can gauge someone's character is by the way they carry themselves and the language they use. Right now, you are making a racist argument, does that inherently make you a racist? No, but it doesn't help your cause in the eyes of others.

so..... we can call tail Pocahontas now?

as long as we mean it with perverse endearment, but not as a verbal punch?

sounds so Trumpian

I once dated a girl named Ahontas.
So yes. You can call me that.

He's closer to Native American blood than our fine senator Elizabeth Warren claimed to be. She's a Sudohontas.
