Quote:I don't see how naming a weapon after a weapon could be construed as racism. Maybe if we were to create a 150-megaton nuke and name it "The Final Solution", but naming a cruise missile after a tomahawk is, to me at least, honoring the tomahawk in a way.

 

The tomahawk example It's a classic example of a red herring. Weapons aren't people.

 

Nothing bestows honor on a group of people like referring to them by the color of their skin, right?

 

The term redskin began to be considered a derogatory term when it was used when issuing bounties on Native Americans. But, hey, if that's what the owner of that incompetent football football operation in Washington want as his symbol, what can we do?
