A Tale of Wildly Frolicking (Washington) Injuns
Imagine there was a football team. This football team is called the Chicago white boys. Sweet Jesus in heaven who created America. How offensive. I’m so offended. Everything is offensive. I can’t handle going another day with a team bearing this name so offensive to my people. 90% of white people are okay with the Chicago white boys. I’m a minority.
In fact, most of the people who are bitching and moaning about the Chicago white boys are from a different ethnicity. Thank you for taking up my cause and splitting hairs over a minor issue even if you aren’t a representative of my people. You are part of a collectivist group with an “equality” agenda. You believe that your entire race is responsible for everything that has transpired to my race resulting in the name Chicago white boys, even if people can (and should) decide for themselves what is right and wrong individually and act accordingly. After all, individuals are totally responsible for crimes their race “committed” a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
I appreciate your feelings towards my race even if you personally have no responsibility. You just feel bad for things your ancestors did over a hundred years ago. I’m sure it is extremely likely your ancestors literally had everything to do with things as egregious as the Trail of Tears or smallpox blankets. I wonder if this is comparable to calling black people who are of non African descent African-Americans?
Thanks for making such a big issue about my race. Now, I am totally aware of how different myself and my people are from you. I now know there is a large difference between the team bearing a name that was once and is still is directed towards my people, and everyone else in the NFL because our name is racist. I am different than everyone else because I am a “white boy” and everyone else is an exotic animal or a warrior in some foreign culture. You have created a divide between me and you when all I sought was to be color blind and think that we are all people struggling to exist and be prosperous on planet Earth. Thank you, you fucking assholes.
I am now aware that such a thing as history exists. A history where people can celebrate their heritage. I have a culture. My culture is rich in history, fantastic deeds, and great people. 90% of my people view the Chicago white boys as a great and beautiful thing. Why? Because we all know that there is an acknowledgment of our existence and history by the very existence of the team name. It’s a form of recognition even if you think the name is shitty. What are you going to replace it with? The Chicago crackers? You are seeking to deny our own acknowledgment, personal racial woes and right to free association because you think it is right to decide what is right for others. We’ve been treated like shit in the past, but to deny our past and present is to deny our future. That is what denying the Chicago white boys is. The Chicago white boys may be a shitty racial epithet, but it doesn’t have to represent me. I create myself and define my individual beliefs. So, don’t fucking tell me that I have to go along with something I may or may not want, especially through use of government bureaucracy and trademark Gestapos. You don’t have to tell me what is right or wrong through use of government. If I think something is right or wrong, I can decide it for myself. We have the power and freedom as human beings to decide what is right individually. When you eliminate the ability to make ethical or unethical choices, freedom no longer exists. I will choose whether or not I want to purchase Chicago white boys products. I will also choose whether or not I want to attend Chicago white boys games. Why do you get to decide what is best for me?
