    How about a black reggae band singing about the Ku Klux Klan?

    I am highly offended by the Delta State mascot The Fighting Okra. I have eaten okra lots of times and I always found it to be a peaceful vegetable

    Same with the Scottsdale CC Fighting Artichokes. When will this bigotry end?

    Why don't Irish people whine about Notre Dame's nickname?

    An Irishman walked out of a bar. Yeah, like that ever happened.

    everyone's favorite liberal news network says everything is going fine.

    But hey, in a world where it is becoming offensive to dress up as a cowboy for Halloween, it is certainly ok to call Republican congressmen klan members.

    I can't wait to hear Bob Costas' Sunday Night Football rant on how the Dallas Cowboys need to change their name.

    i was only kidding about the klan meeting but i hope you are kidding about the cowboy name being offensive vs the redskin name.
    you cant be that stupid, which i know you are not.

    redskins=/= cowboys

    of course redskins is offensive to people especially native americans, but its too late to change the name, should have done that a while ago, now its really stupid to raise this stink, but that doesnt make it any less offensive.
    when did people come through and try to wipe cowboys off the face of the earth?

    I know. Check the link. There are people out there, you know, who find the next layer of the onion offensive. It is just a matter of time until they get around to being offended by it.

    I was being purely satirical. I find this level of sensitivity very amusing.
