    I've always believed that the people who are the most offended by something even slightly racial are white liberals feeling guilty for something they didn't do to people they've never met.

    Ding Ding Ding!! Winner!!
    Welcome to reality.

    Ok, don't get me wrong, there are some minorities that get irritated with some things that are racist, but usually it's some BS thing that really doesn't matter, just irritates them.
    For me, it's a white person using the native terms. It isn't often, but it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
    I don't know that I view it as racist, just that it is something that grates on me.
    I guess it would be like me, being from the west, going to the mid-west or wherever it is used and using "Don't ya know." It would be ugly.
    Or saying "Bless his heart" without the southern or Texas accent
    No. Just no. There is a refinement to that phrase, that without the accent, just sounds stupid.

    Ok, went off the rails on that. LOL!

    @0patience, Tony your American Indian and if they gave you the choice for the new name what would you choose? Completely serious question. I like The Washington Tomahawks or Washington War Eagles but the radicals might think those are both too offensive.

    Anything I came up with, the radicals would find offensive.
    The PC Police do not care about it being offensive or not.
    They want to stop anything that is someone's heritage.
    It doesn't matter to them.
    The fact that the logo was designed by a native makes no difference to them.
    They don't believe the truth. As far as they are concerned, it is racist.
    The funny thing is, most the a$$holes who are raising hell, are white.

    As for names, Warriors is over-used, Chiefs is taken, Ravens is taken.
    A lot of names ARE native american origin.
    I would say Coyotes, but they are tricksters and not always looked upon favorably.

    But honestly, the only one that I think would be good and retains power is Sasquatch.
    Although, I'm sure the radicals could find some issue with it.

    Other than that, War Eagles is good. I like that one and it could refer to the military too. But again, the radicals will have a fit about violent nature of it.

    Bottom line, we can't win against them.

    Whistle pigs! I would suggest Woodchucks but that is derived from a Wampanog name for the critter. Ground Hogs would work, too.

    I sure hope your last words are wrong. If they keep winning these battles, they just may win the war, if they do God/Goddess, whatever you choose, America as we know it is gone.

    I sure hope I am wrong too.

    Let's see. People imposing their views on other people.
    Attacking the other people when they oppose those views.
    Destroying the homes, villages and towns of those people who oppose those views.
    Using the govt to enforce their beliefs and views on the other people.

    Any of this sound at all familiar?

    Sound familiar? Of course It does, I studied history before they began to change it.

    @0patience @Diver43

    Yep, I have a degree in history and like Diver says now that the powers-at-be change it and de-emphasize it in the schools the young people can’t see through the muck which Im convinced is by design to control their minds.
