Black people don't suffer from White Guilt so their own actual racism doesn't bother them

That makes your question/complaint about a double standard even stupider.

not really, it's just an observation. I am huge fan of funny racist stuff and it would be damn near impossible to offend me by making racist jokes, remarks or slurs towards my Caucasianess. I can also acknowledge that if a shirt was made like he said with the fried chicken the outrage would reach epic proportions

At first, the team's T-shirts used "Fightin' Whites" as the name of the team, but various media reports referred to the team as the "Whities" instead of "Whites".[8] The plan to insult whites in the same way the minority students perceived Native Americans being insulted[citation needed] backfired on the group when the team's popularity skyrocketed. In response to customer demand, the team eventually began selling shirts under both names. The team added the phrase "Fighting the use of Native American stereotypes" to its merchandise to discourage the shirts from being worn by white supremacists, and arranged for CafePress.com to handle manufacturing and sales of the clothing.[9]

The stupid frickers think that is edgy and will "offend" us into joining the march to change Indian names.

frick that. It is beyond stupid. A sports team isn't going to name themselves after something they don't hold in high regard.

What's a black cocksucker doing caring about that anyway? He can eat shite.

Double standard? Could a white guy wear one that said African Americans with a chicken leg instead of a feather and get away with it?


Works you have made this thread if Bomani was Native American?

It's a funny shirt, but the fact that the "story" and the "controversy" of it is being forced down our throats by ESPN makes me ill. They sent out a fricking sports center news alert about it earlier. Just pathetic. frick ESPN.

i think there are few things that infuriate "social justice" types than when their attempts at insults (that they think are so clever) get adopted and celebrated by the dominant class
