I hate being friends with family members on Facebook. They keep sharing articles with titles like "OBUMMER USES EXECUTIVE VETO POWERS TO STRIP REDSKINS OF NAME"

Cole, you sound like my great grandma when I used to scold her for calling black people "negro"

She had the exact same argument: "We called black people negro all the time growing up. Why is it a problem now?"

Society becoming more sensitive and evolving isn't a bad thing.

Yes it is. Go read e/n.

Those people aren't sensitive. They're goons.

You really think we aren't headed that way?

I don't see what weird people posting strange personal problems on the internet has to do with the word redskins being a racial slur or not.

We got off topic. My fault.


I've been around TFF for a while. Sorry I said last Tuesday and you didn't see the sarcasm. TFF hasn't given a poo poo until relatively recently.

Better?

Why does the timeline matter? It took too long for this topic to get the attention it deserves, but that has no bearing on whether or not redskin is a racial slur or not.
