They are coming for the chop too
The Kansas City Chiefs’ racist “Arrowhead Chop” has flown under the radar. Not anymore. The Kansas City Chiefs’ chant isn’t a tribute to people like me. It’s racist.

Native Americans were notoriously peaceful and never fought wars with other tribes, plundered their resources, or their destroyed cultures.

If only we had left the poor indians alone, they would have built a bustling metropolis on top of every wigwam.

It’s almost like all these suddenly offended ‘groups’ are being disingenuous now due to financial/political reasons . . . . . . |

As much as people love to name call and stereotype people they don't agree with into Boomer and woke and whatever to make themselves feel better about themselves... people don't change all that much. Give people Twitter 50 or 80 or 100 years ago and give all the Karens and wokeness of the time a platform, and I have a feeling we'd look at those generations much differently once you not only gave every idiot out there a voice, but a way to bring their idiocy together, put pressure on other idiots, and create idiotic change. Likewise, if we currently had relatively few ways to know what was happening on the other end of the country, much less the other side of the world.... and didn't have a camera handy to shame all the Karens or catch all the asshole cops, etc; it would go largely unnoticed, just like I"m sure it did decades ago. |

So a massive caravan of Chiefs fans showing up to Arrowhead next fall in Jeep Cherokees while decked out in full injun headgear/warpaint and doing the chop would be wrong?

My theory:
Why do we get so offended by everything? We don't have enough to do. With everything so automated, easy to do and with immediate gratification. We have too much time for brains to focus on things that they do not need to. My parents and grandparents did not get offended by everything. They were more focused on survival. Feed animals, make a living, make a little money, wash dishes and clothes. Maintain a farm, house, kids. You know-that whole depression stuff. I am sure they did not think "I am offended because my syrup has a black woman on it." of course it took them 2 days to hear about Pearl Harbor.

Even if we don't have a work ethic, or have one with no outlet for it, we have an impulse to feel productive. Asserting offense on the behalf of others, or alternatively feeling offense from the actions of others, fulfills that impulse. You didn't build a shed or fix an appliance, but you found something 'wrong' in the world and gave voice to displeasure. You were a productive person for the benefit of mankind. But the thing is anyone can do what you did, they just have to commit to fomenting discord. But you don't think it through. You don't think comprehensively.
