If that's not the point then why did you bother to tell us that you are part Native American? If you're not trying to imply that your heritage combined with your lack of caring about those things means that Native Americans generally don't or shouldn't then why make the statement? If you want to talk property rights that's one thing, but don't backtrack on the first point you made - make it.
I never said those people are ignorant in general, just ignorant on this one particular subject. That is to say they are lacking in knowledge or experience on the subject as well as the informal definition of just being rude.
If people don't want to get called out for being a dick, then don't be a dick. I have no problem with people being sensitive about things like racism and homophobia, etc., sets a good example for our kids that that shit isn't cool.
is it not rude to call someone ignorant because they disagree with you? lacking in knowledge? really? why? because they think different than you do?
Nor is it one which I made. You don't have to offend everyone with a racial slur for it to be a bad idea to name a football team.
You have so little information to base THIS statement upon it is astounding and you have UNWITTINGLY, I suppose, reissued the same insult towards those who disagree with you.
C'mon, thordaddy, don't be so sensitive, it's just words.
Don't know where that sort of thinking comes from ,it's a word used as an insult conventionally NOW not even PART of the time in some distant time ,if I tell someone they are ignorant ,I doubt they even give a second thought that it was a benign evaluation,isn't it ironic that here where speech is monitored and offensive language isn't a right someone would use that word and still expect to constrain free speech out in the real world ,alternate universe stuff there.
And yet another personal attack, you really don't know how to discuss HERE do you?
BTW THAT'S just trolling.
When I was a kid none of those examples were set for me. I was offended and bullied all the time. And when I went to an adult for help, I was told, "Fight your own battles". Nobody felt sorry for me. So I learned to fight back. And I got the bullying to stop. On my own. And it made me a stronger person for it. If someone makes a joke about your heritage or your looks, or your preferences, throw a joke right back at them. Get over it, deal with it, and quit your crying.
If every time the world had a problem, nobody tried to fix it and they just suffered silently, nothing would ever get done. Just because you don't care enough to do anything I don't see why you have a problem those who actually do. And that "stronger person" mantra is bullshit. People are broken everyday due to bullying and some never recover even well into their adult lives.
But you see there is a problem with the solution much larger than the problem they seek to rectify , that's not progress.
Discrimination is a pretty big problem. Are you trying to say that it's more important for people to have the right to discriminate if they want to?
I'm not saying nobody is trying to fix problems. But there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. I DID care enough about myself to do something about it, and I fixed it. And based on the will within myself, doing so gave me a much stronger self esteem, so don't tell me that the "stronger person" mantra is bullshit. It's not, I have lived it. You either stand up for yourself, or you look for someone to feel sorry for you. I chose the former.
