"Rebel" Team Mascots - Is it a big deal?
#44
As you can see by JR's research and as is known by anyone who studies history instead of media, the Civil War WAS NOT about slavery. But to serve certain interests, it has been drummed into our brains (and many people do not know the difference) that this was the ONLY reason for the Civil War.

This is stupid, and so is alot of the politically correct garbage! People need to llive life and not worry so much about some unintentional mistatement offending someone. Stop catering to the sensitive people. Otherwise, how far do you take it? Example, are any white people offended because they relate Pikeville's Panthers with the radical "Black Panther" group? Are any native americans offended by the Washington Redskins or the East Ridge Warriors? Maybe even Paintsville and other school's are offending dog lovers by using cat mascots? How far do you take it? It is stupid!

And if we are supposed to be so equal in our society, then why does the media keep drawing our attention to race? Example: After the Colts and Bears win the playoffs, it was stated that this was the first time that two african american head coaches were going to the super bowl. Well if everyone is equal and we are supposed to be so color blind, why bring it up? Who cares if it is the first or the fiftieth time? It shouldn't even matter. Yet the media starts making a big deal of it. All of this garbage (not just the AC stuff) is just media hype, people that have no life and want to stir up controversies, or just over sensitive people that think that the world should revolve around them.

I don't care what the Floyd Co. Board of Education or Allen Central does, but if it were me, I wouldn't change NOTHING!!
