I think, with how ridiculously sensitive people are and how
we as a society let them, we should just call sport teams numbers. Washington 7’s
or Detroit 10’s so on and so on. I mean come on, I am sure if we asked PETA
about depicting Ferocious Bears, Lions, Falcons etc. they would say it
inaccurately depicts the gentle creatures.. so cross animal names of the list.
How about Patriots or something of that nature? Well if you look at the old
school Pat picture it’s a white colonial, well he probably discriminated
against women or non-European peoples, so nope to that. Titans? Inaccurately
depicts Greek inspired creatures…you get my drift. Numbers just then seems logical, who can
complain about numbers?
And before you go all “this is about skin color RED SKINS”
well then let them change to Paleskins, big fricken deal. But wait can’t have
something actually highlighting the evil white male/people. Even though through
history all races, religions, genders have been slaves in massive amounts.
History could be argued was built on slave labor and history is color blind, it
has never cared. As far as understanding the Native American Plight, well were
the Native Americans here today, the actual first people that were here? Nope,
there was a previous group that had moved in and somehow died out, so really
they are not Native at all, just here before “Europeans”. Also I don’t see this
country’s history as any different than the Mongols controlling mid-Asia and
Western Europe or the Persians or Romans in Europe, or the Aztecs in Central
America… People have been conquered and assimilated through history. Honestly,
it wasn’t pretty how thing happened here but it has happened worse, in other
times. I have never heard of peoples being compensated in Europe by Italy or
Greece or Mongolia because of previous conquering? Is it because it is more
modern in our timeframe that makes it different?
It’s funny how we decide to cut off talking history or make
history relevant when it suites a purpose. Anything before or after is somehow
not considered, like it didn’t count or something. If you don’t believe any of
this, than go look for yourself, research.
