Some people certainly think it was offensive.
Have you ever seen crime statistics for Washington D.C? I think Bullets was appropriate.
I thought I was clicking on a link to read about GWU changing its name.. not just its mascot. Cause ole G-Dub himself owned slaves.
Yeah. Maybe the only time I like the new name better.
Yes and because they're regarded as white. So many on the left don't care about the other stuff because they don't live in those countries and they've embraced the "white people are the worst" attitudes. Many are also ignorant of the rest of the world. Of course we do have our own history of slavery, segregation and white supremacy. It also doesn't help that some conservatives and Republicans fight to keep Confederate names around instead of letting that stuff go (Why was that flag on the MS state flag for so long? That was just dumb.). Also, maybe quit worshipping the good ole days. They weren't that good unless you have a poor memory. Anyway, the white tribe in America is divided and rich white progressives, people who influence media and cultural, political and social institutions, don't like prolish white people. Look at the dumb Jan 6, stormers now sitting in prison after taking all those selfies and for believing they were the true patriots protecting the integrity of our democracy. I mean, a pillow salesman thinks that way and who knows more about our electoral system than a successful, totally emotionally stable pillow salesman? Those are nice pillows, though. Revolutionairies isn't so bad. A reminder of how the country was established.
Well... technically... no, we were not all Colonials. There are a bunch of people now scattered between Oklahoma, Philadelphia, Parts of the Southwest, and Alaska that weren't. Then you have a bunch of people that I guess were technically Colonials because they were brought to live and work in the colonies... but like... not because they wanted to be.
It is.
At some point Washington's army was called The Continental Army. FWIW
