The problem with the football teams is that usually the name of team is the name of a group of ppl that was almost exterminated and their descendants still pay the price and nobody cares while their name is used as something cool. Just using the name should not be that offensive.

Except redskins is offensive. It's not the name of a group of people, it's an epithet describing them.

New poll finds 9 in 10 Native Americans aren’t offended by Redskins name

It's offensive to gen z victim mentality complex people who want to define themselves through misery.

Were you going to show us this poll or were you just going to expect us to believe that quote of yours isn't one you just made up?

I like to omit the source sometimes just to draw out lazy comments like yours. It really shows that you're not that interested but just want to argue. It's the title of an article from one of the most prominent newspapers out there, it'd be the first result if you simply pasted it in Google, but rather than save yourself the embarrassment, you chose this route.

Swing and a miss.

The article is even better than the title.

Among the Native Americans reached over a five-month period ending in April, more than 7 in 10 said they did not feel the word “Redskin” was disrespectful to Indians. An even higher number — 8 in 10 — said they would not be offended if a non-native called them that name.

Sorry, it's not my job to find out whether or not you're lying.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

When you're trying to educate yourself that's exactly your job.

This is not about whether I'm lying or not, it's about you preferring to stay ignorant, which proves the point that you don't really care about the subject. If you want to close your eyes and pretend it's nighttime, then it's not my job to convince you otherwise.

Whatever you need to tell yourself to keep the illusion going. 🤡

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I don't know what illusion you are talking about. I know about a delusion. Specifically the delusion that you have where you expect everyone to just believe anything you declare.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You know Google exists right? Or do you only ever expect to be spoon fed knowledge like a child?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Insulting me won't make your lies true. Sorry. And I'm not going to talk to you in two separate threads, so pick one.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Being wilfully ignorant won't make you any more intelligent.

If you don't want to argue in two threads don't be stupid in so many places.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is this the conversation thread you wish to continue with?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, it's how educating yourself despite the other person works. I was right, you expect to be spoon fed knowledge like a school age child. You know they teach you how to research in grade school and it doesn't involve begging for sources.

Your choice.

See? Proof of your wilful disdain for knowledge.

Yes, you have lot the argument and have no more valid responses, we know.

What's wrong, did your stupidity run out of steam?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

I don't expect people to believe anything I say, I do expect the average adult to not act like a man-baby in a normal conversation. I admit that sometimes bites me in the ass, but I prefer that over willful ignorance.

The article is still there by the way, I bet you've already figured that out but aren't big enough to admit.
