Whither Redskins: Political Correctness Moving Forward

Offensive Mascots:

"...The overall point, of course, is that white people feel an overall need to protect the darker skinned people, as though darker skinned people are not capable of looking out for themselves just fine, thank you, and it is up to white people to save other people from whatever might be bothering them. Or at least things that white people think should be bothering people who are not from east of the Caucasus Mountains. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the White Man's Burden has changed shape. Has it occurred to any of the white people who are trying to save the rest of the world that non-whites are quite capable of dealing with problems and they might not need saving from themselves? See, non-whites have these things called brains and they happen to use them every day, so they are very used to their functions. But it seems that white people are attempting to keep non-whites from having to worry their pretty little heads about all those big concerns in life and, don’t worry, white people will take care of the problems. This certainly explains the way that white people try to figure out solutions to the problems of Africa without consulting, let's say, Africans.

The battle over mascots is just part of a larger problem in which white people pretend to have all the answers and they will always be there to prevent non-whites from having to actually think. Maybe if white people would stop treating non-whites like wildlife, the world would be a much happier place. But, unfortunately, white people are all more than happy to try to prevent non-whites from actually thinking. And they are doing non-whites no favors by it.

Fucking white people."

They can't all be like Youppi!

Anyway.

Then there's the whole branding issue. Of course the Redskins will get hurt by this. I don't know how but they will. Shit, the Washington Redskins have been around for what, 90 years?

Sometimes it's just bet the let sleeping dogs lie for fuck sakes.

How about a compromise? The Washington Congressmen? Burgundies? Burgundians? Jewish Lobbyists?

Ok. I'm not good at this.

As long as they don't touch the Chicago Blackhawks. That jersey is sick-cool.
