And you know what else? You made a comment that didn't have anything to do with this redskins name, but I found it ridiculous nonetheless. You say you're tired of hearing "they use it so why can't we". Look, lot's of words are used in lot's of different contexts. I'm not defending some of the things that people say to each other. But IF you are offended by a certain word, I don't care what the context is, you shouldn't use it if you don't want others to use it. I don't care how you talk to your friends. But don't use whatever word you feel like in one minute and tell somebody they can't use that same word the next. It's hypocritical. I think people getting all up in a tizzy over a word is dumb. But I'm not telling people what they can say. You have no right to decide what words a person can use if you think you have the right to say whatever you want. Simple.

The whole world is built on hypocritical **** and this is the battle you want to fight? Everything is situational and contextual. This **** ain't black and white, no pun intended. Life is dynamic. Now personally, I use the n word all day everyday and I don't care who else uses it. You can say whatever you want, but if you piss somebody off and get shot or beat up I don't want to hear how messed up it is. This **** isn't a hard concept to understand, but people want to make it an argument and discussion. It's nothing to discuss. It's nothing to talk about. The majority of blacks are uncomfortable with white people using the word. Point blank period. If the Native Americans don't like the use of Redskin, change the ****. We may all be human but it definitely doesn't work like that in the real world. Never has.

In a nutshell you're telling an entire sub group of people what they should and shouldn't be offended by. I'm offended if you call me an ass hole but if my brother does I don't care. He's my brother. If my friend does I don't care. He's my friend. So quit pretending like the n word is the only word that works like this. You know exactly why black people are sensitive to white people using the word.

Redskins need to change the name. Point blank.
