Black Man / Redskin

[Fucky McFuckerson]

I think the browns should change their name too... Obviously the team is making fun of my heritage and the color of my skin

That, or they are honoring the color of shit, in which that is what that franchise has been for the last 30 years.

I don't see much difference between the Fighting Irish and the Penny Pinching Jews

One is prideful the other derogatory, obviously.

Which one is which though?

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Being known as a fighter is a macho, prideful thing. Now if they called them The Drunken Irish that would be different lol.

As for The Browns, well if they were called The Brownskins with a funny looking Mexican as their logo maybe, just maybe, some people might have an issue lol

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

I guess i cant figure out why being cheap is an insult. Usually means that you are smart with your money and understand how to save. But hey, thats just me.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Well, it's a stereotype. Being a cheapskate isn't a positive thing. Some stereotypes are just stupid but still offensive. Like black people loving watermelon. If a team called themselves The Watermelons with a logo of a black dude lol people would be pissed. But if you think about it what's wrong with liking watermelon? It's delicious

 

[StillHustlin]

Being part Irish, trust that no real Irish finds Fighting Irish or Drunken Irish offensive #FACTSONLY

 

[DAT NIGGA TAZZ]

Hahahahaha that is some cold shit lol the pink is for breast cancer my nigga not cuz they on some fruity shit

I guess the question is though is WHY being a "cheapskate" isnt a positive thing.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Because it's typically viewed as being selfish. Selfish = negative.

 

[savage]

Thats true but savage told him to wiki it lol

Well if you read what Butcher said, he clearly states that he did research on this subject back in 2002. I highly doubt Butcher got his info from wiki way back then. lol

 

[Gueroloco]

Snyder has said he would not change the name as long as he is owner.... Redskins have had that name since 1933 and no one really complained over it till the mid 90's, I believe. If it should have been changed, it should have taken place many decades ago!

 

[NAMO]

Hmmmm....

I don't see much of a difference or a big deal!!!

I am called a black man!!!

Lmao!!! What kind of shit is that???
I don't really have a problem with it, but it's funny if you think about it!!!

The term "redskin" could never compare to "nigger, wetback, cracker, kike, sand-nigger, etc..."


keep the name!!!
Stop crying over something that really has nothing to do with nothing!!!

That is all...

I agree with you man, but if black people don't want others to call them that word, you guys need to stop using it yourself. You can't use it in every sentence every song every movie and then expect others not to say it and not get offended by it.

I would imagine that depends entirely on who you ask.

Is an Irish person who takes offense to "fighting" stereotype wrong in your opinion?

Well, it's a stereotype. Being a cheapskate isn't a positive thing. Some stereotypes are just stupid but still offensive. Like black people loving watermelon. If a team called themselves The Watermelons with a logo of a black dude lol people would be pissed. But if you think about it what's wrong with liking watermelon? It's delicious

Objectively, I think most people would agree being frugal is better than being a fighter.

Notre Dame tries to spin the name to have positive associations, much the same way people try to the Redskins name to be one with a positive history rather than the one Butcher stated.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Really lol? "The Penny Pinching Jews" is better than The Fighting Irish? Cmon, son.

The Fighting Irish name came from Irish people. Doesn't quite have the history of the redskins name does it?

The point is the responses are all very subjective. Even to the degree of the origins of the name.

And yeah, like IPIM said earlier, I respect people who save their money. I don't respect drunkards who like to start fights.

Now you stereotyping. Its not the Fighting Irish cuz Irish people like to get drunk and start fights, its cuz they fought oppression.

Says who? You?
