Coming soon: the NFL's D.C. Cabs?

I'm not spouting it at every turn. I'm directing it to Mark, who has proven that he is one time and again.

 

If you want to get philosophical, who is to say what is right and wrong? If it's not the majority of our community (or our society), then who is moral arbiter?

 

Bigotry is wrong. The use of slurs against any minority is wrong. You really want to argue either of those points?

Neither of those things becomes acceptable just because a majority decides the word is fine.

 

Bigotry is wrong. Because the majority of our society has decided that bigotry is wrong. It wasn't because a few people decided it was wrong and forced everyone else to go along with it.

 

Is Dan Snyder a racist? Are fans who have cheered for the team and players who have played for the team racists?

 

A few random thoughts:
1). I'm not a Native American. I can understand how Native Americans can be offended by a team called the Redskins. I don' think it's right for me to tell them they shouldn't be offended or if they're offended, too bad, suck it up.
2). Is this really something that offends Native Americans or is it mostly coming from non-Native American liberal shit disturbers?
3). Were we better off as a society when it was OK to use the n-word and gay slurs in polite company?

 

So if enough people decide that something is wrong, everyone else should shut up and get in line because the majority makes it right?

 

Didn't work so well for Nazi Germany, did it (Oh, did I go there?)

 

The person who originally named the team was a racist.

 

So in 70-something years, how many players have refused to play for the team because the name is "racist"?

 

You tell me. You know all about being a racist.

 

Never been a huge Snyder fan, but it has nothing to do with team names. "Racist" is your term, not mine.
