I’d say the days are now numbered for these names.
Veterans aren’t happy with a recent op-ed by the Washington Post, which charged that the Apache, Comanche, Chinook, Lakota, Cheyenne and Kiowa military vehicles were a “greater symbolic injustice” than the NFL’s Washington Redskins’ name.

This is getting ridiculous.
I always thought it was a compliment to the Apache warrior and other tribal names, honoring their warrior spirit. What now? We have to change every name of every city in the USA, and place, and country, or whatever that uses an Indian name? Sioux Falls, South Dakota? etc.
I’m sure it is. They aren’t the ones complaining. They’re too dumb to know they’re being disparaged and need a white Lib to direct them.
It gets worse, my dog now wants to be called a canine American.
My thoughts exactly.
Heck, even your state is names after a tribe.
Let’s change the name to Azrael. It’ll give the ISIL forces something to think about and hopefully piss off CAIR in the process.
Massachusetts is an Algonquian Native American phrase! It’s an outrage the state has appropriated this most revered Native American word.
It must promptly be relabeled a good Marxist name in keeping with the states political philosophy.
A guy in the comments section had the best new names.
Under Obama we should give them names like “Retreat, Surrender, Withdraw, Apologize…”
Nearly everything on Long Island NY is named after a tribe or refers to a tribes culture. Good luck renaming all of that…
Id support a government program that visited the people who start this stuff and smacks the shit out of them.
I’m waiting on the first tard to mention Oklahoma. Being that it’s a Choctaw word for “Red People” it should be first and foremost.
What bothers me are helos that go wop, wop, wop. Both sides of the my families grand parents came from Italy after WW1. It is in the blood I guess:cool:
Could always change the names of all cities, towns and states in the US to their GPS co-ordinates. Should make it easier to find them and only piss off mathematicians. And stop referring to any and all inanimate objects by a name and instead give them all serial numbers. So instead of a Piper “Comanche” you’d have “NV93R”. Think of all the fun times we’d have with that! Instead of an AR15 you would have a “200569” (not to be confused with a “200570”).
Texas (Tejas) is Caddo for friends. That too is racist. Being friends is racist. Don’t mess with Texas :nono:
Is Florida State still the Seminoles? But UND isn’t allowed to be the Fighting Sioux…
Besides, renaming them after white people things is racist.
Or 200596. Or 20569. Or 020569. Or 002569. Or 200659. Or…
Actually, Florida State has the full sanction of the Seminole Tribe to use that name:
And UND has the blessing of two of the state’s three Sioux tribes.
I don’t want to drag this one off topic since we have a thread about the sports teams already, but you bring valid points.
15 years ago we used to joke about scenarios this completely absurd with PC running unrestrained.
Of course the movie Network was originally satire more than prophecy once too.
When I saw the thread title, my first thought was someone complained to the tinfoil crowd, “Why do the helicopters have to be black?”
Glad to see it is something much more serious (sarcastic voice).
