Why the Lefty Mob Is Gunning After the Texas Rangers.....

[MMC]

you forgot postal racism. Just look at the back of a postage stamp. It's white.............jes sayin'

Now the leftness is trying to use the term fundamental racism.

The "sordid history" of the Texas Rangers is well known in the Southwest, but so is the current reputation of that elite force. No one is suggesting - as far as I know - that the law enforcement agency change its name...any more than the U.S. Army is expected to call itself something else now because in the early days of Western settlements Army troops were sometimes guilty of unnecessary violence against peaceful Indians and others. If the Rangers themselves still use the name, why on Earth should a Baseball team be expected or required to change theirs?

written by Global Opinions editor Karen Attiah, declares the team name "must go" because of its sordid history:


Because an woke Karen is saying so.

I'm imagining the Arizona Diamondbacks being told they have to change their name because diamonds are a luxury item that only the rich can afford, mined by subjugated and underpaid people of color.

What? The diamondback is a snake? Shut up.

The political correctness mob is now coming after professional baseball. This was on the horizon. When the lefty mob scalped the Washington Redskins, whose new name is unknown, this was bound to happen. If you give the Left an inch, they'll take several hundred miles. You cannot give an inch of land. The same applies to statues. This wasn't about Confederate statues, folks. Any person could see the long game here. The Confederacy was the flank march to move against the real target: The Founding Fathers. This nation's history is the target.


The op-ed in The Washington Post, written by Global Opinions editor Karen Attiah, declares the team name "must go" because of its sordid history:


If the team ownership, as it proclaims, condemns “racism, bigotry and discrimination in all forms,” there is an easy way for it to prove that. The Texas Rangers’ team name must go.


For the most part, these campaigns to change brand names have been led by white liberals. Yeah, of all people, white liberals are dictating what is and what isn't racist and doing so in the name of people of color. Case in point, no Native American cared that Washington's football team was called the "Redskins." This op-ed was written by a black woman, Attiah, who outlines reasons for the team's name change. Let's see if more black voices agree and if this will become a lightning rod for more white progressives to froth at the mouth, which has been the seat of irony regarding this Black Lives Matter resurgence in the activist orbit. It's being overtaken by white people. I've been told this is not kosher by some folks.


And look, some may take this as dismissive, but we can't simply rename everything. It's nonsensical. Seriously, by this standard, we'd have to rename New York City, or burn it to the ground, because it was named after King James II, then the Duke of York, who built a slave monopoly with his brother, Charles II. That's not going to happen, but by the Left's standards, it "must go." This campaign of erasure must stop, but I feel more businesses are inclined to cave to this PC mob.....snip~

Eventually Americans are going to have to stand up to the Un American. As you can see the UN American will not stop until they tear the country down.

Some super fan needs to get a petition going before sports teams names sound like

1) This should be a peaceful game between the LBGT's and the Sensitivites!
2) Welcome to the sunny stadium where the BLM's take on the "White's Sucks"
3) The COVID hiders are ready to face the Liberty traders.
4) The me toos against the faint of heart

There's an instructional league in Kansas called the Liberal B.J.s (named after Ban Johnson, the first President of the American League).

Not sure exactly how that factoid relates to the topic - I just think it's funny.

Army Rangers trace their lineage back to 1751. If the Left wants them to change their name, I would suggest they arm up and storm their gates and try to make them. Maybe we can put this nonsense to bed once and for all.

'Fraid not.



And I misspoke on the name. They're actually the Liberal Bee Jays. Just as funny.

The effort is to destroy American icons so they can be replaced with icons for socialism and communism.
