Re: Redskins Win In Appeals Court
Def;
The Macquarie Dictionary defines racism as: "the belief that human races have distinctive characteristics which determine their respective cultures, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule or dominate others."
Clearly the team is not trying to prove that it's superior then the NA or dominate them.
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines racism as a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular racial group, and that it is also the prejudice based on such a belief.
Again the team is not trying to show any signs of superiority over any NA.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each racial group possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another racial group or racial groups.
I honestly don't see why the NA are upset. No where have the Redskins tried to show they are inferior to any NA's. If nothing else perhaps they have put them on a pedistal because we all know the Redskins are the best team and are happy to have the name, which is actually showing they are superior. So why complain. LOL.
