That's where you are dead wrong. The US is experiencing a watershed moment and you are blinded to it by your own hate and chauvinism. Millions are protesting globally and in the US. Major corporations support BLM. Changes are being made in the way police departments operate. People are removing monuments and changing street names. Even Daniel Snyder and the owners of the Cleveland Indians are about to rename their teams. There is a cultural revolution happening now. I don't always agree with everything being done but I am amazed at the major sweeping changes happening right now.

What's changed since George Floyd's death?

Whatever changes it will never be enough. None of this will fix the actual real issues.

Back up, Angry Dude and reread my post. I was talking about your attitude that nothing had changed in the world since the protests began. Plenty has changed and there is more change to come. I have plenty of experience volunteering with all kinds of people, too, so no sainthood for you.

Ok lol your passive aggressive posts are amusing. No you haven’t or you would know that the things you endorse as answers for the community you claim to support are nothing more than political posturing. You called me hateful and chauvinist in an unprovoked manner but I am the “angry dude” 😂 you are such a cartoon

I don’t think the world is ready for a 100 story tall vagina made out of concrete, glass and steel.

Although I guess AT&T Stadium in Irving, TX comes pretty close.

I was thinking 100 stories down into the ground.

J.K. Rowling, Noam Chomsky among dozens to Call for End to ‘cancel culture’

More than 100 writers and scholars — including Noam Chomsky, J.K. Rowling and Malcolm Gladwell — have signed a public letter decrying cancel culture and the rising “intolerance of opposing views.”

Published in Harper’s Magazine on Tuesday, the letter argued that the recent “needed reckoning” on racial and social justice has also “intensified a new set of moral attitudes and political commitments” that tend to stifle the norms of public debate and tolerating differences.

“The free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted,” the letter states.

Have you seen the dustup with big lib Matthew Iglesias, some sort of editor at Vox who signed the letter, had a complaint from another Vox employee who sent an email to the Editor saying she doesn't feel safe as a trans person working from home because he signed the letter. So he is signing a letter to end cancel culture while a co-worker is complaining about it and he is likely to cancelled for it....the left eating their own.

This is an e-mail sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune after an article he published concerning a name change for the Washington Redskins.

Dear Mr. Page: I agree with our Native American population. I am highly jilted by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One might argue that to name a professional football team after Native Americans would exalt them as fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of political correctness and courtesy, we must move forward.

Let's ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians. If your shorts are in a wad because of the reference the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns.

The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of militant Blacks from the 60's alive. Gone. It's offensive to us white folk.

The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do you see a team named for the Confederacy? No! There is no room for any reference to that tragic war that cost this country so many young men's lives. I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion among our sports team names. Totally inappropriate to have the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres.

Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders, the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates!

Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or even spending habits. Wrong message to our children.

The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children. The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates. Wrong message to our> children.

The Milwaukee Brewers. Well that goes without saying. Wrong message to our children.

So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out to rectify this travesty, because the government will likely become involved with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing the do-nothing Congress loves.

As a die-hard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in mind, suggest it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women's athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers (especially when they play Southern California. Do we really want the Trojans sticking it to the Beavers?

I always love your articles and I generally agree with them. As for the Redskins name I would suggest they change the name to the "Foreskins" to better represent their community, paying tribute to every last dick-head in Washington D.C.

The guy may be a PhD, but humor is not his forte. Besides, a Charger is a horse.
