Candy, pardon this interruption by me, but if you notice, whenever you should post anything that does not agree with the liars who post here, they will divert or change the subject. Liars can never provide proof, they just keep lying while insulting you - it is all they got.


And Stalker will interrupt discussions for no good reason other than to make himself feel less small.

If you're asking about Braves games, the fans like to do an "oooooh--oooh--oooooh" chant and make tomahawk-chopping motions. So the racial stereotype is of Indians as bloodthirsty savages.

 

This is not terrible as far as it goes. I think the only arbiter of whether this is offensive or not should be those who might be offended--native Americans. They should be asked whether they mind being depicted this way or not, and their wishes respected.

 

Trump showed yesterday that he didn't give a shit what the Lakota Sioux thought, confirming that the official attitude toward native Americans in this country is one of benign neglect at best.

Once again, this applies - Image may contain: 1 person, meme, text that says 'IT CANNOT BE DONE CAPTAIN NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY,IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A LIBERAL INTELLIGENT'

Names are not offensive. Nicknames are not offensive. Slurs are offensive.

 

I can't believe anyone needed that explained to them. I mean other than tom.


The Mister Mustards of the world suddenly decided that they are offended, and the rest of the world must adjust.  Fuck that.  Stop being a wuss.

Here's a stereotype.  White.  Should I whine and be offended like you whinky girls?

A racist wouldn't.

How about:  "The Washington Civil Servants" or "The Washington Bureaucrats" .

You should continue to be what you are--a racist, cruel-minded Trump stooge who believes shit that was obsolete decades ago.

 

"White" is not a stereotype; Jesus Christ, you're an idiot.
