Ugh, please no.  I'm still not over the Bullets name change to the Wizards.  Just awful for those of us who grew up here.[/quote]

Really. Just awful, how do you endure such awfulness? It's way worse to have to endure the name change of your bullshit basketball team than to have to have your children hear a racial slur casually used? After all, casual racism is casual. And yeah, it's Black people who seem to be the ones who are most opposed to the name change--how ironic. There, I said it.[/quote]

Not everyone interprets it as racist.  Sounds like YOUR issue.[/quote]

How can you not interpret it as racist.  Redskins.  The skin of Native Americans is, historically, of a reddish color. Negro, which morphed to N*gger, from the word negro or negre for black.  A black skinned person.  I just don't get how you can argue that it isn't racist.  I get people saying they don't want the name to change.  I disagree, but I hear that. But to say it isn't offensive and derogatory and racist, that's just ignorant.[/quote]
