Today on the news we learned that questioning hype around a quarterback is
racesist, but naming a team after an ethnic group which doe not desire to
have the team named after them is not.
Rush Limbaugh's statments were clearly ~anti~ racesist if anything. But neer
mind the reality, reality doesn't sell comercials, so each news brodcast
today spent about 3 minutes (1/10) of the brodcast on Limbaugh and his
supposedly "raceist" comments.
But what about the so called "redskins"? A clear case of football racesism
here. Today the judge in the appeal sided with the NFL and against the native
americans who find the team's name severly distatefull. Only one brodcast
even mentioned the rulling.
What would anyone think of a football team named the "Crackers", or
"Whiteies", what about "Darkies", or the "Wetbacks"? Maybe missipppi needs a
team named the the "Slaves". How about the Huston "Cong" or the New York
"Chinks"? Let's get real. This is clearly raceism.
On the other hand what if Limbaugh had questioned press surrouding some
mideocker white basketball player who was being biled as a big slam dunker in
the press, but seldomely dunks and even then, is very mediocker. Wouldn't
questioning that be seen as questioining an attempt at making a white
basketball superhero when one simply doesn't exist? Let's get real. This
clearly is anti-racisit not racesist.
