Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How did we get to Red Lives Matter ?

What’s up with wanting to change nicknames of professional sports teams - Washington Redskins, Milwaukee Braves, Cleveland Indians?

Seems like more pussies are caving in.

I went to school in Tecumseh Mi, our nickname was the INDIANS. The town was named "in honor” of the Shawnee warrior Chief Tecumseh. The city of Clinton is 5 miles north - their nickname is the Redskins (nut jobs have tried to change that but failed).

I think this crap is getting out of hand. What if the MLK stature “offends” someone - would that statue be taken down? I’m kidding of course.

It sure looks like the inmates are running the asylum.

Because the movement is really about white lives don't matter.

will we have to rename all the Tecumesh lawn mower engins ????

Yep. You boiled it down to the nut.

You spelled Injuns wrong. 😉

We have a winner!

Around here the BLM (Bureau Land Mgmt)/BOR (Bureau of Reclamation) just changed the names of two campgrounds at the local reservoir.

Chinaman's Campground is now known as Campground 1
Confederate Campground is now known as Campground 2

Both original names memorialize the mining activity around here in the 1860s era.

My high school team name is the Red Raiders. Wonder how long until they push to change it?

Ours is the Braves, Chiefs, Redskins, Warriors and Savages, from varsity jv soph freshman.

We are double A, the Browning Indians are A. So when the JV Chiefs play the Browning Indian varsity, the white kids take a pounding. Toughens them up.

Changing Chinamens and Confederate is just insane, total PC garbage.

People need to stop being a "color" and start being Americans again.

I'm quite happy to say that we don't have any issues here.

It's about a 50/50 native/white mix and there hasn't been much for bad race relation drama.

For whatever reason people here get along.



Guess I've gotten into a couple minor pissing matches but for the most part there is a mutual respect.

Yep, an elegant turn of phrase.

They don't matter. BLM and liberals tell me that the SOUTH lost, so all Confederate memorials etc need to go. Guess what, the injuns lost, so [bleep] them too.

Exactly. Been saying it for years. One nation, one flag, one anthem. All American.

Hell, I hate the cop flags with blue lines etc. It all creates division. One flag, not a special cop flag, firefighter flag, black flag, gay flag, just the Red, White and Blue.

The ones raising holy hell are the citified Indians. The ones on the Rez are just trying to ph ucking survive. Hell most are Washington redskin fans on the reservations across this great country.

I hate the redskins... More of a Pittsburgh steelers fan myself...

Some are nice I guess, others are warring mother fu ckers.. Guess which one I am..

Which is exactly what they are. They are not "native" to N America, as human life did not originate on this continent.

This was Teddy Roosevelt's stance on that.

I stand for straight Americanism unconditioned and unqualified, and I stand against every form of hyphenated Americanism. I do not speak of the hyphen when it is employed as a mere convenience, although personally, I like to avoid its use even in such manner. I speak and condemn its use whenever it represents an effort to form political parties along racial lines or to bring pressure to bear on parties and politicians, not for American purposes, but in the interest of some group of voters of a certain national origin, or of the country from which they or their fathers came.

Americanism is not a matter of creed, birthplace or national descent, but of the soul and of the spirit. If the American has the right stuff in him, I care not a snap of my fingers whether he is Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protestant. I care not a snap of my fingers whether his ancestors came over in the Mayflower, or whether he was born, or his parents were born, in Germany, Ireland, France, England, Scandinavia, Russia or Italy or any other country. All I ask of the immigrant is that he shall be physically and intellectually fit, of sound character, and eager in good faith to become an American citizen. If the immigrant is of the right kind I am for him, and if the native American* is of the wrong kind I am against him….

….Now for our own citizens. We represent many different race strains. Our ancestors came from many different Old World nationalities. It will spell ruin to this nation if these nationalities remain separated from one another instead of being assimilated to the new and larger American life.

The children and our children’s children of all of us have to live here in this land together. Our children’s children will intermarry, one another, your children’s children, friends, and mine. Even if they wished, they could not remain citizens of foreign countries….The effort to keep our citizenship divided against itself by the use of the hyphen and along the lines of national origin is certain to breed a spirit of bitterness and prejudice and dislike between great bodies of our citizens.

The gay kind?
