[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 810162, member: 20605"] You should read up about Gyassi Ross before deciding whether to take his word as gospel That's fine. If you want to be disrespectful of other races and cultures, that is your choice I suppose, even if it does make you a hypocrite. No, that isn't what I said at all If a minority want something changed, then I expect more than half of that minority to support that change, not just a few noisy individuals, otherwise you have a minority of a minority driving the bus. I would need a majority (over 50%) of [B]Native Americans[/B], not of the general population, to support a move to pressure the Redskins team to change their name, before I would support such a move. They are the allegedly offended party, so they need to clearly show that they have general support among their own group for such a move. Currently, they are nowhere near any kind of consensus, with far more of them against a name change than for it.
