Re: Saints' Champ Bailey: Redskins name like N-word
 

yeah i have to say my Irish roots are as mixed as any even by the late 1600's. Everyone conquered and enslaved us. My forefathers fell of the boat as "indentured servants" to an English tobacco baron in the Carolinas at the turn of the century. They might be one of the first run away slaves in America. So when it comes to being a true American mutt i have to say we are as pure as a mutt can ever be. I have almost every European blood line, more than one of the Indian nations and also a couple of African nations flowing through my veins. When MLK talked about seeing the world as grey I think i can understanding what he was getting at.

"indentured servants" i always loved that PC term for slavery. An Entire nation murdered and owned by various European countries for centuries. leave it to the English to come up with such a clean sounding word.

So Slavery is not owned by any one race. besides why do African Americans with decent to this time period allow an African fresh of the boat to use the "N" word? history in Africa was one were they practiced slavery also for 1000s of year and made a some money selling slaves long before the Europeans started buying them. Just as social acceptable there it was around the world at that time. Besides that Africans forefather might be from the tribe that originally put your tribe into slavery to begin with.

Historically the argument just does not hold water for a person like me. Every nationality has been enslaved some where in history.

I say get off your soap box and stop pointing your finger at me. go clean up your own house first then talk to me. by they way i know more white ******s than black ******s. Hell i know ******s of all kinda of colors. I have moved beyond race and I am no longer a racist. equality for all. rich or poor makes no difference. If you want people stop using the word then everyone must stop. other wise i view the argument as self serving and not valid. it is racist.

i wonder if the "N" word will post

my history thesis was on this very topic. got a c then debated the issue for hours over the course of a month or so with my prof before she gave me a better grade. no she was not white, actually we are more pink than white, she was of African decent. good friends still today. she is the only person that can call me cracker. :cool:

nope ******s

PS we are Americans. till we accept it and stop labeling our selves we will get no where. Go back to your home land they will tell you. your american. stop all the subdividing already

We are all the same and the sooner people accept that the better. Region, race, nationality mean nothing to me

Re: Saints' Champ Bailey: Redskins name like N-word
 

Mostly agree. Even though this came from an Englishman. :p

Concept is still around...

Change the name to the Natives. Same logo. Same "honoring" aspect. Fits with the Nationals.

Re: Saints' Champ Bailey: Redskins name like N-word
 

How about the "Indians that don't like the color red"?

Re: Saints' Champ Bailey: Redskins name like N-word
 

Native Americans.
