Magazine controversy continues
My previous posting on Redskin magazine continues to draw comments. Readers seem unwilling to accept that "redskin" is as offensive as other pejoratives.Because you resorted to name-calling again, throwing out more offensive words aimed at me and my two daughters, I've got one for you: dick. And:Wow I don't know about you but these are harsh words, pretty ignorant if you ask me and I would say possible lawsuit material too. I can see you trying to make your point, but out of frustration you target children? Preposterous!! Feel free to check out their arguments and my counterarguments.
In the same posting, I also help Russell Bates with his obvious learning impairment:To reiterate, the magazine's name is Redskin, not Red Skin. Every poster in this thread has confirmed this point by calling it Redskin, not Red Skin. Learn to freakin' read so I don't have to keep helping your with your sadly deficient English skills. For some recent postings on the problem with "redskin," see Redskins, Brownskins, or Blackskins and Colusa Drops "Redskin."

"To reiterate, the magazine's name is Redskin, not Red Skin"
ReplyDeleteI guess it depends on what the meaning of is is.
From now on, I will look at the debate of America's medical situation a lot differently, now that I know the presence or absense of a space in a compound word can racially alter the meaning: when people talk about "health care" or "healthcare", they are talking about two very different things, right?

Russ, that's funny considering I've posted the covers of Redskin magazine repeatedly. Check them out again, because they clearly say "Redskin," not "Red Skin."
ReplyDeleteI guess you're too dense to read the direct quote I gave your from the Redskin site. I guess you're too lazy or incompetent to navigate the site yourself and read the magazine's descriptions. Here, I'll help you with your pathetically poor comprehension skills:

That's eight more examples of "Redskin" to add to the one previous text example and two previous cover examples. That makes 11 examples of "Redskin" total.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, you've seen or, more likely, daydreamed one counterexample. If you could prove it, which would require you to get off your fat ass, you'd still be losing 11 to 1. Until then, you're losing 11 to 0.
How blind do you have to be to see seven consecutive letters, repeatedly, and still imagine they form two words, not one? As I said, learn how to freakin' read, ignoramus. I'm tired of your acting superior when you're too stupid to see the facts in front of your face.
To reiterate, I've proved my case eleven times and you haven't proved yours once. In other words, you lose again. Better luck next time, loser.
Actually, DMarks, a space can transform a word into two very different words. For instance, compare "kidnap" and "kid nap," "grapevine" and "grape vine," or "roughhouse" and "rough house." The compound word has a noticeably different meaning than the two root words.
ReplyDeleteIf the magazine's people claimed its name was "Red Skin," they could argue they were talking about a generic crimson-colored skin, not a pejorative for "Indian." But Redskin's people aren't saying that. In fact, they're proud of using the dated, offensive, and taboo term "redskin."
Since the issue is what they are doing, not what they could be doing, why don't you help Russ out? I assume you've seen the examples I referred to. Tell it to us straight: Do they say "Redskin" or "Red Skin"?

ReplyDeletewriterfella will say it again: plug away, Rob! You're helping the magazine become a rousing success! In point of fact, they say BOTH! And YOU (among others) are the reason that they do! writerfella is happy you are helping to perpetuate his newest market!

I've quoted the magazine's website and displayed the magazine's covers. With that in mind, let's revisit your initial comment:
ReplyDeleteTo show that you cannot see beyond the end of your own nose, Russ, closely examine their logo: Redskin magazine, not Red Skin magazine. When one overlooks the obvious, there only can be one reason: elected ignorance, not circumstantial happenstance.
Yes, you've correctly diagnosed your inability to read the Redskin logo. You've elected to be ignorant. If ignorance is bliss, you must be ecstatic.
Your latest claim is that the magazine calls itself both Redskin and Red Skin? Would that be on the "logo" you imagined you saw? You know, the "obvious" one you think I "overlooked"?
Did this logo also have a pink elephant on it? Was it in the imaginary gap between the words "Red" and "Skin"? I see seven consecutive letters with no spaces between them, but I'm not privy to your rich fantasy world.
Unfortunately for you, the evidence is in. None of it supports your ridiculous claim. Save your daydreams and deliriums for your psychiatrist, because my readers aren't interested. They're laughing at you, I suspect, and so am I.
I've explained how posting something on a subject boosts the rankings of Newspaper Rock. And thus gets more and more people reading my critiques. That's another facet of the Internet you apparently don't understand.
ReplyDeleteYou go right on thinking that I'm helping the magazine by pointing out its offensive title. Perhaps you also think I helped Apocalypto and Bury My Heart by criticizing them. And that I helped you by noting the times you lied about me.
If so, I'm glad to have "helped." You keep on praising me because you don't understand what's going on, and I'll keep on "helping" the people who deserve it. Deal?
Writerfella here --
ReplyDeleteNope, 'cause once there is a deal, you'll renege. As things are, we who benefit from your largesse want you to continue being 'The Dorkside of the Force'...

But if I reneged on "helping" people by criticizing them, that would mean I'd stop criticizing them and start helping them for real. In other words, that I'd start shilling for the likes of Mel Gibson, Dick Wolf, and Larry McMurtry just as you've done. Isn't that what you want me to do: stop criticizing and start shilling?
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. When I said I'd "help" people, you reflexively and thoughtlessly denied it. But the opposite of "helping" people is helping people, and you don't think I'd do that either. Once again, you've foolishly contradicted yourself.
Thanks for this excellent example of how you don't understand logic. Next time I suggest you leave the converses, inverses, and contrapositives to me. Remember, I have a degree in mathematics and you don't.
