Description I've said before that political correctness is nothing but tyranny with a smile. These narrow-minded rat-bastards who run around pushing this politically-correct propaganda sicken me not only because of how they incite controversy where no real controversy exists; calling themselves being offended on behalf of an ethnicity or group of which they are not part of and do not represent, but also I am disgusted by their blatant level of hypocrisy.

I am willing to bet that most of the jackasses riding the Washington Redskins tails over their team mascot (which has been their mascot for nearly 83 years) are sitting at home right now stuffing their faces with turkey in celebration of this farcical holiday called Thanksgiving which I would imagine be immensely more offensive to the Native American people than the mascot and name of a damn football team.

The first Thanksgiving is an event which should forever be condemned, for it was little more than a lead-in to betrayal and genocide. The pilgrims (or Puritans) were a vastly deceitful, ungrateful, and hypocritical group of people. The came to the "New World" to supposedly escape religious persecution, but after arriving and colonizing the Eastern coast they proceeded to do to the Native people what was done to them in back in England. Thanksgiving is supposedly a time to give thanks for the good graces life grants you, but the pilgrims certainly had a funny way of showing their gratitude to the Native Americans. If it wasn't for the Native people extending their hand in friendship and showing them how to hunt and cultivate the land the colony of Plymouth Rock would have surely failed. The Natives saved them. They gave them the gift of life in a strange new world, and the pilgrims repaid them with disease, lies, betrayal, war, and death.

Thanksgiving is not a time for giving thanks! It is an insult to the Native American people, for that first fickle feast was the beginning of the end for the Native People's way of life! It doesn't make it any better that the dengenerate who made this event into a national "holiday" was that fuckin' tyrant Abraham Lincoln. Little known fact about ol' dishonest Abe is that he was actually a terrible racist! He hated blacks and the Native Americans too and he likely only made this day into a national holiday to rub white man's great betrayal in the faces of the Native People.

Let's really be honest here. There is really no sensible reason for this holiday to even exist. The event this celebration supposedly commemorates is a despicable farce that demonstrates how evil, ignorant, and ungrateful the pilgrims really were, it's an annual reminder to the Native People of how their ancestors were cheated, lied to, and betrayed, and if you are truly thankful for what you have in life you should give thanks EVERYDAY not just the 4th Thursday of every November. The only real reason this damn holiday is still celebrated is because Americans love the idea of stuffing their faces...as if most people in this country needed an excuse.

A lot of my native friends are people who hate the logo and want it changed. Seeing as they've lived the experience of someone indigenous, whether they were raised on a reservation or off, the fact that they don't like being lumped and stereotyped like the sports logo and team name is doing, makes them narrow minded?? Wow.

I never understood why having a Native America mascot was offensive.Β  It shouldn't be any different from having a viking, patriot, spartan, whatever mascot.

It would be fine if it wasn't literally a negative stereotype of Native Americans, and it's legit a slur to call a Native a "Redskin". But you know, 'Murica.

Then wouldn't that make Vikings, Spartans, Patriots and a bunch of other human mascots offensive as well?Β  The only reason I can logic out for Native American warriors being offensive is that its not showing the peaceful side of those people.

Again, it's not that it's a Native American that makes it offensive, it's the way they portray him. The Seminoles have a Native mascot, however they don't portray the mascot as some goofy red skinned guy with a couple feathers sticking out of his head and are much more respectful in there depiction. Also, Vikings and Spartans aren't even around anymore, so I'm not completely sure how that's relevant.

And Native Americans nowadays don't live anywhere near the way they used to in pre colonial times, so if Vikings and Spartans are irrelevant, then soΒ are Native American mascots.Β  No one actually lives in traditional clothes anymore, you know.

Vikings and Spartans are irrelevant because they no longer exist, Native people exist but are still played off as "savages" or only being old men with feathers and red skin. You don't see any logos of overly exaggerated stereotypes of any other races, because they would instantly be called out, so why is it suddenly not racist when its towards Native Americans?Β

Vikings are just Scandinavians, and Spartans are just Greeks.Β  Both Scandinavians and Greeks still exist, but their lifestyles have changed a whole ton since then.Β  Same with Native Americans.

And I of course do see stereotypes of other groups, and they all get called out.Β  But for some reason Sports mascots are very Native American-centric.

What sports team's logo is a racial stereotype against some group other than Native Americans, because I could be wrong, but I don't remember any. I at least can't think of any off the top of my head. I honestly wouldn't mind if they used Native American mascots, just wish they wouldn't make them literally red (Cleveland Indians), or use a slur as their team name (Redskins). I think that if they want to use mascots of different races, that's fine. Just don't make them be designed or portrayed in a racist way.

*shaking my head*

who cares? Apparently only you do. If you don't show that it bothers you then it won't be offensive anymore. Stop trying to police pictures.

And YES, there are OTHER racial groups that are used as mascots. Clearly, you're one of those people who only pay attention to soundbites and don't actually care or bother to find others.

But let me show you the few that there are racial stereotypes against groups other than Native American: The Boston Celtics, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the New York Knicks, the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and MANY MANY MORE.

The Boston Celtics logo is a LEPERCHAUN. A FRICKING LEPERCHAUN. The Celts were a powerful Irish tribe (AND THEY WERE SCOTTISH TOO) and yet THEY are stereotyped by a LEPERCHAUN. Where's your outrage?

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish logo is a LEPERCHAUN. Again, SAME PROBLEM AS THE BOSTON CELTICS.

The New York Knicks. Did you know that a "Knickerbocker" was actually a name used to make fun of the pants that Dutch immigrants in New York wore? YEAH...it's lost it's meaning now but it was considered an INSULT.

Minnesota Vikings. VIKINGS DID NOT WEAR HORNED HELMETS. Yet the MINNESOTA Vikings do. They stereotype that ALL Vikings have blond hair and horned helmets! Oh no! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: A Buccaneer is a pirate of Hispanic descent. These guys are stereotyped with a jolly old pirate on the side of their helmet winking at you! yeah...and yet how is this not racist?



I'll tell you why they're not racist: NOBODY CARES. And nobody should. If you get offended by stupid shit like a MASCOT...then you need a life. I have no problem saying that guy is "black" or that guy is "brown". Why? because it's not wrong. Stereotypes have a root of fact. As long as no one is trying to hurt anyone with it than there's nothing wrong. I highly doubt these teams use the name to shame ethnic groups.

My suggestion to YOU is to actually go out and read about sports teams names and stuff and get a proper conclusion before you go out and try to whine about an issue that really is not a big deal in the slightest.

Also, if you want to get offended by stuff, we should erase the word "queer". Why? because the word "queer" actually was a derogatory term used against gay people. It was on the same footing as words like the n word and stuff like that. you know why we don't see it that way? because gay people decided to own the word instead of get offended by it. we ALL should own the offensive terms used to describe our racial groups. By doing that we HEAL those wounds. We make peace. Stop hindering REAL progress.

It shouldn't but you know how people are. If it exists you can rest assured somewhere some idiot is going to be offended by it.

Frankly, I think some people make a big deal about the actually name more than the visual mascot; as I think "Redskin" is supposed to be a derogatory term. It's still a petty thing to complain about though.

Thanksgiving isn't about a bunch of pilgrims wiping out an indigenous population, whilst that did come after. Thanksgiving is about a bunch of ill-prepared colonists coming to the new world without suitable farming tools or skills, receiving very generous and unwarranted help from a local people who probably went against their own best interests.

Thanksgiving is about the 1st harvest the pilgrims had after the natives assistance, and the thanks they should have given. It's an example of how people should treat others with kindness despite differences and having no reason to do so, a trait you once said you supported during a discussion on how an anarchistic society would run.

Supposedly from I what I remember the treaty between the Natives and the Pilgrims maintained "peace" for about a hundred years, but during that time the seeds of bigotry, distrust, and predjuice were undoubtedly germinating.

I think Thanksgiving nowadays is mainly about being thankful for all we have, but I agree that the holiday was originally a celebration of one of the most sordid events in human history. I'm not North American but if I was, I wouldn't celebrate anything on this day. I would celebrate my Thanksgiving on winter solstice instead.

IAmTheUnison In reply to Akhenamen [2014-12-16 16:51:34 +0000 UTC]

Which incidentally is why Christmas (or Yule) was actually celebrated by the Pagans before the Christians stole it and wrapped it around their mythological messiah.

Akhenamen In reply to IAmTheUnison [2014-12-19 08:48:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Yule is the name of the festivals celebrated by the Germanic tribes around Midwinter. Other cultures like the Slavs and Celts would have had different names for the Midwinter celebrations, and they probably celebrated it in different ways.

IAmTheUnison In reply to Akhenamen [2014-12-23 15:24:24 +0000 UTC]

True, the truth is that many cultures around the world and throughout history had midwinter festivals even dating as far back as Ancient Sumeria. So in a sense, "Christmas" has been around for a very very long time and encompasses many many traditions.

Akhenamen In reply to IAmTheUnison [2014-12-23 22:15:13 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, in fact it probably goes back even further than the Sumerians, starting way back in the stone age. Stone age people had a lot of knowledge about things like the seasons, the position of the stars in the sky, the position of the Sun and Moon and so on.

Woah mister, calm down.

I find myself in agreement to your point about being too sensitive and politically correct, Thanksgiving isn't a marker of genocide. Much of that was propogated by colonists who had arrived way before the pilgrims. Besides, can't holidays warrant a touch of romanticism? We can never forget horrible events, but the idea of Thanksgiving is still based around giving thanks for what you have and what others have done. Also, I've never heard this perspective on Abraham Lincoln before. May I have a source so I can pursue this line of inquiry?
