Redskins trademark at risk after U.S. Patent and Trademark office rejects nickname as derogatory

[Brown_Pride]

THIS MONEY IS FROM AN INDIAN NATION FUND AND NOT THE US GOVERNMENT, CORRECT, BROTHER?

it's from gamblers
Money they take in at the casinos on the reservation they do a "profit sharing" type thing with all the tribe members

step in the right direction.
Side note:
My little cousin who's half native american just turned 18 and got a check for 450k! And now get's 8k a month for the rest of his life!

No joke.... A.A. got fuked on that 40 acres and a mule thing. You guys should advocate for your own "reservation" or some shyt and just start tossing up casinos.

that must be one of the luckiest tribes in history. i have an aunt who is half native and i guess she gets a small "per cap" check at most. she has committed a lot of crime so i doubt they are breaking her off much

I wonder what would happen if someone proposed "crackers" as a team name.

Blacks didn't even get the 40 acres and a mule, they got 40 years and a headache.

I'm sure you realize the false equivalence, given that you know that signifiers and symbolism (mascots and such) captures history and in this case, it's the history that troubles people the most. And one other thing troubles them, autonomy of self naming, you would not want other people commoditizing your identity willy nilly (sp)

I think you made the mistake in assuming that I'm somehow in favor of the false equivalence. I'm not for the Redskins name, Indians logo/mascot or any other trash. I was merely saying that certain subgroups of white Americans embrace their dumb stereotypes and caricatures. To compare Irish struggles to African or Native hardship would be dishonest and insulting but that doesn't mean they didn't face certain discrimination because they certainly did. Terms like Paddywagon are an example of this. But the Irish became "white people" pretty quickly, especially when they started consolidating political power in NYC, Boston and the northeast in general. I'm not Irish by the way.

I find it puzzling why an Irish-America would take pride in a logo of a stereotypical leprechaun and name.
