No, I even said that opinions from Native Americans/the Indigenous will vary on whether or not "redskin" is an epithet or slur. Some of them believe that it is a derogatory description, and some of them don't. Either way, too many people outside of their community, think they can speak for them.

.... and this is a trite subject, anyway. The "anti-woke" police want to make this a more important issue than what it really is. We are just talking about the nickname of a football team for f*** sake. The NHL team in Utah doesn't even have a nickname. Who cares?

So don’t lead with Dear White People.

Glad you recognize the honesty. The easy ones show themselves like an addict, and here you are. The speech impediment is a nice touch.

You just have the creativity of an autistic lizard when it comes to your zingers.

You have the benefit of premeditation here. You don't really form coherent arguments, so at least excel at what you do.

Make sense?

What’s to argue in calling out the brokenness/weakness of the left? This somehow triggered you twice.

Most recent ratings

Colbert had almost 2.5 million average viewers for new episodes

200K were under 50...

How did Colbert's canceling become a narrative that it was politically motivated? In the history of broadcast TV, more shows are canceled than are on air. Colbert's colleagues all seem united in their view this was about Colbert's content rather than his inability to attract an audience. I don't understand how we got here.

Hmmm ....

www.independent.co.uk

Opinion: Dear white people, stop telling Native Americans like me whether we're offended by the Washington Redskins

My tribe doesn’t identify as 'redskins' – this is a derogatory term coined by colonialists often historically used interchangeably with 'savages'
www.independent.co.uk www.independent.co.uk

Opinions from Native Americans/the Indigenous will vary on whether or not "redskin" is an epithet or slur, but I have never seen or heard any of them call it an "honor" to be referred to as a "redskin." At the very least, it is a coarse description. The article I posted up above, is from someone who identifies herself as being a Native American, and for what it's worth, she does consider the term "redskin" to be racist .... with her general point being that white people should stop speaking for them on the matter of what is and isn't offensive to them.

..... and yes, the subject of what an NFL team chooses to use as a nickname, is a trivial matter. Regardless of who it is, Obama or Trump, the President of the United States should have better things to do than get involved in such a matter. Trump had it right in 2013. He should have left it that way.

So wait your defense of being a white guy telling native Americans that this is a trivial issue..is to post a article from 2020 even tho the exact thing is being mentioned by 100k plus American Indians since 2023. Are you just not seeing how funny that it is
Your article is telling YOU to stop doing exactly what your doing..telling them what is a trivial matter to them or not.

Pretty much everything is attributed to politics now. Donald Trump has definitely exacerbated this toxic atmosphere. Can you imagine any other president weighing in on the cancellation of a late night talk show? In most cases, that would seem beneath the office of the presidency, but when we get this Truth Social post from Donald Trump :

"I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings." - President Donald Trump

.... it is exactly what would be expected from him. Trump never takes the high road of a mature leader.

Odd to start by calling someone by their skin color “dear white people”, when asking them to not call others by their skin color. Weird move

No .... the article is telling white people to stop telling Native Americans what they should and shouldn't be offended by.

My opinion only concerns a belief that the President of the United States should have more important things to concern himself with .... which by the way, is exactly the same opinion that Donald Trump expressed in 2013, when he was being critical of Barack Obama. Trump had it right in 2013, but he is being phony and hypocritical now.

Your a white male who has repeated called it a trivial matter...it's not to native Americans.

Your article is telling white people stop telling other ls what is trivial or not meaning of they are offended or not by a name is not trivial to them...so stop telling them either way...it's trivial to you and only you.

Really, one who’s paying attention would say it was “exacerbated this toxic atmosphere” when Obama decided to chime in on Ferguson, MO ruling. Or the famous “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” But please, continue believing it started with Trump.

The nickname of an NFL team should be a trivial matter to the President of the United States .... Trump even said so, in 2013. So, why the change now? Because Trump wants to pander to his base, just like Obama did.

I didn't say it started with Trump. I said he exacerbated this toxic atmosphere. Look up the word "exacerbated." It doesn't mean the place of origin. It means to take an already bad situation, and make it worse.

As someone on the outside, the dynamic that the tribes have with Trump is confusing. You know several truths about the man:
- He will say anything to promote himself (keep himself in the news).
- He will lie and exaggerate.
- He doesn't care if he lies or exaggerates.

And rather than ignore him, the beast is fed by taking his posts and giving them life.

But i appreciate the answer to my question. It became political because Trump kicked him while he was down.
