(Weasel Zippers)
Quoting Pundit Press:
As an enrolled member of Navajo Nation, it is mine, Mark Beasley’s, and my Native American colleagues’ position that the City of Buffalo and the the news outlet Buffalo News, owned by Berkshire Hathaway, should change their offensive and racist names containing the word “Buffalo.” Buffalo is the name of the animal that was driven almost to extinction by the non-Native forces in order to annihilate and drive out my ancestors from the American landscape. Within only a few years from the beginning of the campaign, all Native nations were driven off their lands and into reservations, where we have prior and since been unduly subjugated and and exposed to genocidal horrors unimaginable to the rest of the world and throughout history. End the use of racist and genocidal imagery and symbols toward Native Americans today. End the pain and denigration these symbols and images incite and the damage to the psyches of Native Americans everywhere. Drop “Buffalo” from the New York city and its main news source and restore Native people’s dignity.
....I got a few ideas on what they can change the name to....
-Custerville, NY
-Redskin, NY
-Winchester, NY
-Sharps, NY
-Indianhead, NY
-Indian Wells, NY
-Andrew Jackson, NY, etc.,etc....
...though to be quite honest, someone should tell Mr. Beasley, "We won, you lost, GET OVER IT!"
Thoughts?

So native title and due sensitivity means nothing to you?

Sure, you can disagree, it's your right. But why so callous about it?

On the first point....let me think: nope.
On the second point: given all the things going on in the world at present, there a lot of more important things to worry about than a name... :mad:
 
I will second that nope! If we start kowtowing to the word police on words like buffalo there will be no end to this nonsense.
