Racist Folls Take That

DrWu

Finally, somebody had the balls to deal with this shit that has been an embarassment forever. Stupid, racist ass institutions that think it's cool to call themselves Redmen and Indians. Shit is ignorant and unnecessary. Good Riddance. Props to the NCAA. http://www.boston.com/sports/articles/2005/08/06/ncaa_mascot_ruling/Next we gotta go to DC and deal with these clowns:

Who's going to break the news to:


From now on, he'll only be allowed to call himself Reggie Noble.

(I do applaud the ruling though. Way fucking overdue.)

Shit that makes sense. More teams should do this... I'm not sure how using derogatory terms regarding Native Americans has been acceptable for so long.

Yes, was glad to hear this on the radio. Though it was sad to hear Floridia is going to fight it in court because they say they have the backing of the Seminol nation and Oklahoma doesn't. Just give it up and call yourself the Wetlands or something!

Hey, if any of you strutters are alumi or current students at a school that is going to contest this ruling, perhaps we be a good time to flex some muscle and to tell them to drop this nonsense. FSU grads are you listening. My mom's school is on the list and I called her to tell her. She ain't sending no money if they hold onto that silly name (Carthage College- Redmen). Here's a list of schools that will be potentially affected:


ALcorn State- Braves
Central Mich- Chippewas
Catawba College- INdians
Florida State- Seminoles
U of Utah- Utes
Midwestern U- Indians
Indiana U- Pennsylvania (Indians)
Cathage College- Redmen
Bradley U- Braves
Arkansas State- Indians
Chowan College- Braves
U of Illinois- Illini
U of La Monroe- Indians
McMurry U- Indians
Mississippi College- Choctaws
Newberry College- Indians
U of N. Dakota- Fighting Siuox
SE OK STate- (Savages) insane!!!

But seriously, I guess Native Americans have a case here, even tho I think its silly.

Cleveland Niggers
Washington Wetbacks
Florida State Kikes
The Fighting Honkies


Put it into context.

This shit is way , imo. Maybe falcons don't like Atlanta using their name, or Bulls, or Jaguars. Yeah it sounds ridiculous, but you wait, someone will be offended by those names soon enough.



And when did it become wrong to say "retard"? Did some mentally challenged individuals come forth and say they didn't like being called "retarded"? Shit, my dad said "retard" the other day and some jackass got on his case. My dad is just old school, he didn't know.



I swear some people just wake up each day and the first thing they do is find something to bitch about.



But seriously, I guess Native Americans have a case here, even tho I think its silly.

Are you serious? I guess so since you think it's gay for people to car about thier rights. Plenty of Native Americans have said they don't like these names, so they should be given up. Do you thinnk that's to much to give to people whose country we took over? Whose more uptight the person that doesn't want us to us these names or the person that thinks complaining about it is gay?



Well, I'm just going to start a team called the Spearchuckers, and another called the Wetbacks, and another called The Stupid Insensative Ofey Cracker Ass Crackers.





Their is a big diff between animal names and the racial slurs that were used against a people for a long time. But I guess you can't see that.

Brian

Redskin is the equivalent of the racial slurs he listed...

Cleveland Niggers

Huh??

All teams with Native-American mascots. I'm saying, put it into context. Calling a team the "Redmen" (ex.) is no better than calling it the niggers, wetbacks, kikes, dagos, wops, etc.

Cleveland Niggers

Huh??

Just to give you a break for a minute......you do realize that Redskin is/was an insulting term?

mannybolone

I'd shut up while you're behind. It's cool if you want to be contrarian but seriously, you're just playing yourself.

I didn't take over anybody's country. Excuse me for being born here.

And is "Indian" really considered offensive now?

Of course you didn't, but it's highly likely your direct relatives had plenty to do with the history of opression in this country. Would it kill you to give a little? As you said you were born here which means you have a certian amount of privalige built in to your life. It wouldn't hurt to give in a little to people without that privalige.

For plenty of "Native Americans" "Indian" isn't a big deal, but for some it is. Plus, it demonstates ignorance. The reason "Indians" was used was because Columbas was lost and thought he'd made it all the way around to Indian. Are you aware of any of this???????

Calm down. I'm sure that if they suddenly switched the name to the "Brownskins" everything would be a-ok.

You guys are getting carried away. This isn't about Manhattan and some beads.

It's just about using racial slurs with little regard, when most other racial slurs are reserved for bar room and jokes and family reunions.

Yea, I'm just trying to get him to think about the long history that leads up to these things. He doesn't seem to think that "redskin" is a racial slur. "Indian" really isn't a slur, it's just a misnomer (SP) that a lot of people don't like.

Plenty of Native Americans have said they don't like these names

just as many Native Americans have said they find no offense....they are aware that these names are used to acknowledge the bravery of the "Indians"....The mascots/chants etc are a different story.....and Redskin is not a term used in reference to skin color it's used to acknowledge the war paint "Indian" "warriors" wore in battle....

Yea, but plenty of black people use the word nigger, does that mean everyone gets to use it? Does that mean a team can be named that? And pulez with the redskin, do you really think ignorant people aren't reffering to skin color. People that use terms like that could care less about actually historical context of body paint. Back when all these names came up Indians were the enemy and none of these terms originated in flattery or respect.

there's a lot of cornballs in the world(a few on this messageboard) that ask themselves the same question everyday.

you just answered your own question

yes..ignorance is bliss

the only name that can be argued as blatantly...i repeat..blatantly offensive is redskins and i already addressed that

Gnat

I'd be curious to hear actual "indians" (sorry) Native-Americans discussing this...

PS isn't saying indian akin to saying black? That's my take on it...I realize it's not hugely PC but my impression is that it isn't offensive either....savages/niggers...that's a totally different story...and while we're on the subject of being offensive...perhaps we should strike the derogatory graemlin from our board so as not to offend homosexual men and women...

edpowers

if the graemlin said FAG i would agree with you...

I...and while we're on the subject of being offensive...perhaps we should strike the derogatory graemlin from our board so as not to offend homosexual men and women...

oh that ol chestnut again.

I've mentioned this a few times, but the soulstrut rule is that homosexuals are the one group it is ok to make slurs against...

the heterosexuals love being able to reserve the right to scream out faggot when ever possible. Besides I've been told its not offensive

Gnat

if the graemlin said FAG i would agree with you...

The implication of the GHEY graemlin (no matter how you spell it) is the same as FAG and you know it--100% negative...look up the last 10 fools who used and tell me they used it in a positive or non-derogatory light...I think that you'd be lying if you told me that...

street_muzik

I wonder how many native americans are on the roles at these schools. Just curious, that's all.
