Gotta love it when white progressives tell minorities what they should be offended by

If you stop scrolling before you get to her teeth, she's alright.

I can even see why Indians can also be seen as racist since the people who they refer to have never set foot in India.
Some one (probably a white liberal who are the clear authorities on the matter) should tell the millions of people who proudly call themselves "Indians" and refer to their land as "Indian Country" that they are supposed to be offended.

Just got a push notification from ESPN trashing Manfred for his defense of the name Braves lol. These people are way too bored.

Fans might see it as honoring Native Americans, but in equating them to Tigers and Cardinals, it dehumanizes them.

And our ancestors didn't try to erase them any more than they (the natives) tried to erase our ancestors. Where peace was possible, peace was made. Where it wasn't, well... there wasn't. Now we can sit here and cherry pick some incidents that took place where our government overstepped. Nobody is going to defend that any more than they will defend what our government is doing to us today. What does that have to do with a bunch of fans in a baseball stadium?
I think the article is silly, but this is equally as silly. It’s okay to admit our government did shitty things to natives 200 years ago. And LOL at it being comparable to “what out government is doing to us today.”

Lol. No they didn't. Or did you not see how that ticket "overcame" an insurmountable deficit while most of America was asleep? If you knew anything about Georgia, as a whole, you'd know that it isn't possible they voted for those two.
Ah, never mind. Politard spotted.

Indians and Redskins are pretty obvious especially with Cleveland’s mascot being a literal native with redskin, despite what some of the diehards and old heads think, I didn’t have much a problem with either change.
The Braves and their war chant however are different stories they’re not racist terms or racist images of natives, Brave is just a high class warrior in Native culture and their war chant is just an intimidation chant.

Can’t believe we equate these humans with animals. Just disgusting.

The name “Braves” is bad enough. Fans might see it as honoring Native Americans, but in equating them to Tigers and Cardinals, it dehumanizes them.
There are a lot of mascots referencing different human groups, so I don’t understand why the only groups perceived as being dehumanized are those associated with Native Americans. Someone connect the gaps for me here:

It's like what Chappelle said in his latest stand up
Every bleeding heart is out there trying to put some bubble of permanent protection around select classes of people, for no reason other than the person screaming, "BECAUSE THEY NEED IT" when in reality said person doesn't do jack fricking shite to actually help the real issues those groups face.
Want to help Native Americans in this country? Maybe address the root causes behind the high alcoholism and drug use rates on reservations. Maybe address the cycle of poverty they face.
But no, a harmless chant used by fans in an honorific way is the real evil in this country.

When are the Jews going to atone for their genocide against Amalikites and the Jebusites, and the other Canaanite tribes they murdered?

When is she going to apologize for forcing me to look at those horrible teeth?
Ever heard of braces and a little laser gum surgery?

Nah
People need to stop giving a frick that people are offended. They can be offended all they want. Who cares? Don't listen to them.
Oh you are defended? I dont give a frick.

Because public policy follows, ignoring it is why this country is in the mess it is now.

I like her little Jew fangs, they’re cute, besides it makes it easier for them to suck blood.

She looks like a girl I bought ecstasy from and finger banged at a bid day party. Good times
