The American Ornithological Society will drop the names of some 80 birds because they were named after slave owners who originally discovered and identified the new species. This follows after the renaming of Aunt Jemima’s Syrup and Uncle Ben’s Rice, as well as the Washington Redskins football teams. Even American Presidents, like Thomas Jefferson, have seen their sculptures torn down.
When will the leftists be satisfied? The answer is never.
They are pigs who mean to desecrate history and destroy our nation. There are no boundary lines to limit their pillaging and their rapes. Here’s more from Mark Dice.
The left claims to speak on behalf of groups in America they label as oppressed or marginalized–even when those groups reject the left’s representations. In this episode of “Fireside Chat,” on PragerU, Dennis Prager discusses the issue and offers three contemporary examples: The Washington Redskins, Latinx and “racist” voting laws. Here’s his report..
As America has drifted from Judeo-Christian values, people have turned to Leftism to fill the void. PragerU’s Will Witt is on a mission to expose Leftism as a cult of shame, guilt and destruction.
Witt tells us of a visit to a California University to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. He and his entourage dressed up as Native Americans to celebrate the culture, but were immediately attacked by Leftists, hurling death threats, racist remarks and chasing them off campus and calling the ordeal cultural appropriation.
So after ruminating on the horrible experience, Witt decided to put their ideas to the test, driving 900 miles from Los Angeles to the Navajo Nation Reservation in Window Rock, Ariz. The encounter was stunning, to say the least. Not one of the Native Americans was offended by the Washington Redskins name, not one of them was offended by cultural appropriation and not one of them wanted other people getting offended for them on their behalf.
Says Witt, “It’s cultural appreciation, not appropriation. These young people, people my age, are going to universities now and are coming out more stupid than when they went in.” He says the white Leftists are on a mission, too. Their goal is to spread nonsense of how terrible America is, and that canceling and shaming people is how we should live our lives. Which only means one thing: White Leftists are the most racist people in America. Here’s more with Witt on PragerU.
Glenn Beck, of The Blaze, is taking umbrage at those folks who suddenly want to rename the Washington Redskins. “The name’s been around for 80 years and now, because of Harry Reid, the guy who liked Obama, and I’m quoting, because in Harry Reid’s words, ‘a Negro dialect wasn’t part of it. He didn’t have a Negro dialect unless he wanted one.’ That guy is now the moral authority on what’s offensive and what isn’t?”
But should the Redskins lose their nickname to the bureaucrats, Beck has some novel ideas on what to replace it with, such as the Washington 60,000 Alien Children Flooding Our Borders or the Washington 80 Bucks to Fill Up My Damn Gas Tank. Listen to Beck’s other suggestions in this edition of MercuryOneMemphis.
Jodi Miller reports, “President Obama has always been supportive of U.S. troops … and, oh I’m sorry, the punch line for that joke was stored on Lois Lerner’s hard drive.” In this edition of NewsBusted, Miller also touches on the Washington Redskins, Valerie Jarrett, IRS and Iraq.
The controversy surrounding the nickname of the Washington Redskins has drawn the ire of conservative commentator Glenn Beck. Most of the fuss, says Beck, is coming from non-Native Americans, such as President Obama, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and reporter Peter King, who believe they know more than the Native people themselves.
“Ninety percent of Native Americans feel that the name isn’t offensive and shouldn’t be changed,” Beck says, citing a poll taken by the Annenberg Public Policy Center. “Students primarily at Native American schools all across America wear the name with pride and now say, they might lose the name.” In this edition of “The Blaze,” Beck explains the history of the nickname “Redskins” and how it relates to today.
