Supreme Court Rejects Appeal Of Redskins Trademark



The Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal by native groups calling the Washington redskin's trademark "disparaging.

At issue was whether the plaintiffs were decades too late in filing the lawsuit, or whether the trademark should have been denied years ago since "redskins" is as offensive today as it was 500 years ago, a racial epithet that brings native people into "contempt, ridicule, and disrepute."

The justices without comment refused to intervene in the dispute ending the suit.

The team said it has spent "millions of dollars promoting, advertising, and protecting it's mark."

This ruling, or lack there of, really shows the true colors of our so called legal system. An entire race of people can be openly disparaged in front of millions of people simply because they were too late in complaining? Native people have been complaining, conceding, and fighting for over 500 years. to use a legal technicality to deny people basic human dignity is so shameful, ignorant, and bigoted the people making the decision have no business calling themselves human, let alone judges.

The media is no better. No lead stories, 30 second blurbs, or even a mention of this historic decision. Just more news about a dimwitted ex-Governor with the IQ of a moron who dictated a book that makes no sense.

Without publicity there can be no public outrage. Thanks media.

For all the idiots, racists, and assholes who believe the Native people are being overly sensitive, take this test. Walk up to the next Native American you see and call him/her a redskin and see what happens. As they beat the shit out of you, kindly explain that you were honoring them with a term of endearment and meant no disrespect. If you survive, or happen to meet an ignorant dufus, approach a Black person and call them nigger, a Hispanic person and call them (take your choice spic, beaner, wetback.) I will take odds in Vegas that you won't survive more than one hour. All of the judges should take this exercise.

I guess H. Rap Brown was right. A Black or Hispanic Supreme Court Justice makes no difference. They become part of the system that created them.

NFL Union Chief Comes Out Against Rams Sale



NFL Union Chief Demaurice Smith has also come out against the sale of the Rams to Rush Racist. However, some sellouts like "Scoop Jackson" and Mercury Morris have come out in favor of the sale.

How do these idiots make it on television. Scoops position is that if Rush has the money he will probably get a team. Mercury Morris wants him to get a team "so he will see what it's like to be in the trenches" as an NFL owner. Their rationale is flawed, idiotic, buffonish. However, these idiots' opinions are widely sought by ESPN, CNN, and others to divide and soften a unified stance. Whites can now point to these idiots and say, "Mercury said it was OK." What a crock.

I hate to say it, but my own race is still stupidly being led by the nose by White bigots. Sure, we'll speak up about Limbaugh, but let Daniel Snyder, that racist who owns the Kansas City Chiefs, and the bigot who owns the Cleveland Indians off the hook. Why? Because we are stoopid! Discrimination and racism directed towards any race is racism directed against all races.

Al Sharpton Petitions NFL Against Sale Of Rams To Limbaugh



The Rev. Al Sharpton sent a letter to Commissioner Roger Goodell asking that the St. Louis Rams not be sold to racist Rush Limbaugh. Accusing Rush of being "divisive" and making "anti-NFL" comments, Rev. Al has asked that supporters send letters to the Commissioner expressing their outrage. Several African-American NFL players have stated that they would refuse to play for the Rams if Rush bought the team.

While I applaud the Rev. Al for finally waking up, where has he been for the last 50 years while a team called the "Washington Redskins" continues to denigrate Native Americans every day. Where are the boycotts, the sit-ins, the letters to the Commissioner? Why are Blacks and Hispanics continuing to play for the most racist team in all of sports? Where is the outrage?

Sure Limbaugh is a racist, bigoted asshole, but, so is Daniel Snyder! Don't start and stop with Limbaugh! Go after Daniel Snyder! Otherwise you look like a self-serving, publicity seeking whore!
