Redskins are changing their name

[Sibelius Hindemith]

Black immigrants benefit from anti-black racism? How convoluted does your thinking have to be to say somethink like that?

This country will aid, promote assist aid etc. Anyone who will denounce the Black American descendants of slaves. Especially black immigrants from other countries. Skin tone had nothing to do with the opression of Foundational Black Americans.

You used the term "Sub Saharan " in another post. Someone has been indulging in white supremacist propaganda. The fact that there are people making specific "talking points".which can easy be debunked. I cannot give you a more specifis example of systemic racism.

Notice how the theme of this post turned from the Redskins potential name change. Its clear whom the hated is directed at.

You had as much to do with changing the discussion as anyone. Sub-Saharan is a geographical term that has been in common usage for centuries and i didn't pick it up from some "white supremacist propaganda" so cut the bs. You are the one spewing talking points with your leftist psycho-babble.

back on the old Seattle times forum, before the Pro was banned for the umpteenth time - I was engaged in a discussion about whether RW could be a pure pocket passer - he literally accused me of racism because of that - because in his mind - someone's height is, somehow, a matter of racism. Just swirl that around in your mind. The Pro's interpretation of racism is simple - anyone who disagrees with him is racist. What's so weird is, basically, according to him, we're all racist, so, if he's hanging out here all the time with a bunch of racists, wouldn't that logically make him a racist too?

Cue the (everyone else is a racist) hypocrisy in three, two, one...

He was never banned, that was Crap-Pants who always got banned and then came back as hardcoremarinerfan, hawkbydynasty, etc.

We used to have these "discussions" in the old Times Forum with the last one probably being about MIchael ("I only shook that officer's hand because I'd just picked my nose") Bennett's adventure in Vegas. We haven't really had any political or racial discussions in the football forum here. Nothing wrong with that here as it is about the Redskins, but I think we've gotten a little sidetracked.

Identify politics.. Boorish. And the term Sub Saharan is prevalent on white supremacist sites. No one talks like that.
Laughing at "leftist psycho babble." You need to form your own opinion instead of indulging in Far right news media . Stop parroting their talking points and formulate your own.

The highlighted portion never happen. This fabricated story seems to be your go to. You really want me to be silenced don't you? My talking points bother you that much? Somehow you want the topic of racism to be disproved or rendered frivolous.

In this post show me where I called anyone a racist? Forum members disagree with me all the time and they can all attest that I don't call them racist

I did not start this post on the Redskins name. It started out civil actually then morphed into a discussion about Black issues. I never start topics about race. It becomes me versus the entire forum and every far right ( and white supremacist) news source in existence. I would rather talk about football . I can discuss football every day without it ever becoming political or about race. Can you?

Sub-Saharan is indeed used as a racist term by white supremacists, but I think most people don't know that and consider it to be just a geographical term. Personally, I wouldn't use it just because most of the continent is "Sub-Saharan" so to me it's a goofy term, almost like saying "Sub-Tundra" to describe Canada.

I would much rather talk about other topics. This is uncomfortable for everyone involved. I am not running away from any of my comments. I stand by them fully. But why argue? Why do that here? Why look at anyone here in a different light than their forum persona?

Can't this be a welcome distraction from the events in the world today? Do not think this is me conceding, backpedaling or showing cowardice. I just don't want to talk about it anymore. I would rather talk about football.
