ONE'S RACIST THE OTHER ISN'T
The same of people who don't say a word when Democrats such as Cruz Bustamante and Sen. Robert "KKK" Byrd say "nigger" in public are getting their panties in a bunch over comments Rush Limbaugh made about Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb. On ESPN's show "Sunday NFL Countdown" Limbaugh said of McNabb, "I don't think he's been that good from the get-go. I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team." I don't understand this crap. Where is the racism in that statement? Presidental candidate Wes Clark and Democratic Rep. Harold Ford Jr. of Tenn. have called for ESPN to fire Linbaugh. Yet they haven't called for Bustamante or Byrd to resign. Funny, isn't it. I used the word "nigger" for a reason, read below.

In yet another twisted view on racism, a judge in Washington state has ruled that the football team Washington Redskins could continue using the name. The judge said that there was no sufficant evidance to show that the word "Redskin" is a racist term. What the hell? The word "Redskin" is a diragatory word for and American Indian, just like the word "nigger" is a racist, diragatory word for blacks in this country.
Redskin Noun: offensive terms for Native Americans
This according to the dictionary. As a Cherokee I find this word, as well as this ruling, highly offensive and a slap in the face.

God Bless America
