Tribal chief: No FedEx until Redskins change team name

I remember when I used to devote time to responding thoughtfully to posts like this. Then, I realized that education is like sobriety, you have to want it before you can get it. Whether you're trolling or not, you don't want it so I won't waste my time.

Because you can't. You have your opinion and that's fine, I have my opinion and that's fine, you can do nothing to prove your opinion correct and do nothing, other than react emotionally, to show that mine is wrong. Hence, you simply choose to run. Don't worry, it's expected.
 
Tell me what is it, other than dancing around campfires, that this ten thousand year old culture has brought us? The truth is, they haven't evolved socially or economically in 10,000 years. Not sure why you think there is some divine virtue in stagnation. The only thing more absurd than Indians clinging to a reservation might be the Amish.

you actually need me to explain to you that native American culture is more than "dancing around campfires?"

you know what? i give less of a **** about what you think than i do about sportsball.

You can do better than that.
 
Doesn't matter to me one way or the other. If someone wants to revere their ancestors, they're welcome to do so.

i do.
 
that isn't going to hurt fedex in any way.

people need to just get over it. so sick of hearing about it.

Then don't bother posting about it. Some people do care.
 
Wow! Conservatives really are as ignorant, arrogant and despicable as I suspected.

Yes, I need you to explain it to me. What is frustrating you is that you cant, so you lash out at me for exposing your empty argument.

Wait. You really think that a multitude of Native American cultures can actually be reduced to "dancing around campfires"? Holy ****.
 
Wow! Conservatives really are as ignorant, arrogant and despicable as I suspected.
And liberals consistently put up posts like this that add nothing to the conversation. Here is a test for you: What is ignorant, arrogant or despicable about what any conservative has said in this thread? I figure that either you wont answer, or you will pull a Helix and say something like "If I have to explain it to you its proof of how stupid you are." Do try and not live up to my expectations for you.

You can dish it out but..........

What is your ethnicity? I want to name a ball team after it.

What else is there?
Oh. You're not going to get ME to do you're learning for you. You've got to want that for yourself and thus, do it for yourself. But back to my questions. Do you have access to Google or Wikipedia? How frequently do you read? Have you ever been to the non-fiction section of a library or bookstore? Are you a medical miracle?
 
Summarize please. Real people don't let links do their talking or thinking for them. The claim has been made that there is a rich, 10,000 years of indian culture that must be preserved and is of some value. Why must it be preserved and why is it of value. These aren't tough questions even for liberals. Then perhaps you might list 3 things, 3 great achievements of American indian culture that have made an impact on the human condition: art, science, literature, law, engineering, architecture, philosophy, anything. Here, Ill make it easy for you. Name one.

So you cant think of any either. I guess we agree then.

I'm human. Maybe people ought to stop artificially dividing themselves up by how much melanin is in their skin. And name your ball team anything you want, it's yours.

OK, so you have quoted me, now tell me what is ignorant, arrogant or despicable about that statement?

German and Scottish. Have at it. But its only fair to point out that I am not a crybaby liberal wallowing in phony victimhood so there isn't going to be a name you can come up with that would offend me in the slightest.
 
Good for them.

FFS you still call natives "Indians", a name given them by a sailor lost at sea and starving who thought he was 10,000 miles east of where he relly was. No one on reserves was born in India so it's really time to lose the bigoted crap like "Redskins" and "Braves".

When did India gets its name?

Oh stop. You could also do better than that.
Hey, you guys seems to be outraged over Cephus' fire dancing comment, but as of yet, none of you have refuted it. Look I have nothing against Indians. I wish them the same success as everyone else. They are the ones clinging to the reservations and the stagnant culture of the ancient past. You cant worship and revere a savage and prehistoric culture and expect respect from anyone who understands the value of modern culture. Its people like you who pander to their backwardness that keep them impoverished in the richest nation mankind has ever known.
