I'm more disturbed how many people can pretend to be offended by the smallest things in today's society. No one has a backbone any more. Men have become like women and women have become activists to trample the men. Everyone wants to be "equal" and thinks the "pursuit of happiness" in the Constitution means a GUARANTEE to happiness. That's not so. We can't change every little thing that one person is offended by to try to please everyone. It will never happen. We could name the team the "Cotton Balls" or the "Cheeseburgers" and someone will scream that they're offended and can't function any more when they see that name on a t-shirt at the mall.
All of this created racism and victimhood and crying over every little thing that can even remotely be twisted into "racism" is not helping our society and race relations, it's making the divide even greater. If we'd just live our lives together and stop LOOKING for excuses to cry racism at everything, we'd be far better off.
