Colored wasn't a racial slur until it was. Negro wasn't a racial slur until it was. Hell, some believe calling one with dark skin "black" is now a racial slur to some in the PC crowd. What's next?

Um, because Blackhawks isn't a racial slur.


Right now it isn't, but in the world of PC, it could change at any time

Or, to go along with poor Don Diego's suggestion of naming NFL teams with new names. How about: "The Philadelphia Turkeys"?. They are usually "gobbled" up by Thanksgiving anyway, providing even more bitterness to that hate-filled, cruel group of fans, lusting to win something. Anything! But providing joy and a sense of relief to the rest of America. At least us other folks won't have batteries or snowballs thrown at us!

DonDiego enjoyed his Thanksgiving last year within the AT&T Stadium, . . . really enjoyed it !

History becomes censored out of existence unless we have monuments/roads/ flags to honor the life and death of people who attacked America. Maybe we should name the new World Trade Center structure the "Bin Laden Memorial center". That way our resident Confederate Flag lovers wont forget about 911.

Write your Congressmen and make it happen


PJ, how do explain to the younger generation what a nazi was or how 6 million + jews were killed? Maybe you want to tell them that queen ED just let the Founding slave owners buy the land and start their own white country club waaay back in 1976?

Neither did the Black Hawks Indians...


Give it time, never know which way the PC winds may blow tomorrow. A month ago and I never in a million years would've thought that people were going to have there panties in a wad and be so offended as to want to change the name of rt. 1. I would've said you were nuts. Amelioration my ass. It's just to appease the squawking minority and those are the ones the people in power listen to currently.

DonDiego agrees; he also does not believe "Blackhawk" is a racial slur.
He supposes that Sturm, Ruger, and Company employ the term to suggest their single-action revolvers are strong and reliable, . . . sorta how Daniel Snyder and all the former owners of the Redskins NFL franchise apply the name to their team, to suggest proficient warriors.

And the term Cowboys suggest uneducated, ill-mannered, horse-mounted persons marginally capable of minding a herd of ignorant ruminants on the way to a slaughterhouse, . . .umm, minus the horses.


You do have a way with words there DD, quite succinct on both points for sure HAHA. I do like the proficient warriors analogy, good one and well said.

Leave it to the left to want to memorialize an international terrorist that has changed the world forever, and not in a good way.

BTW I know PJ, it's as silly as your suggestion.
