Well, I presume most negroes agree...Not on principal, of course...but mainly because it agitates and inconveniences the white man and is a chance for them to thumb their noses...
It's like "negro"...for hundreds of years it was used as the polite term for people of the negroid race...negroes decided they didn't "like" it anymore and they wanted to be "black"....then it was "african-american...it's all a ploy to manipulate people by becoming selectively "offended".
It's called "incremental creep" ...now it's "redskins"..if they succeed they'll move on to something else to be "offended" about and that simply MUST be changed!
As they've learned that they can manipulate people with emotional appeals it'll continue and grow.
Intent matters.
The term "negro" has been used with malicious intent as a slur for so long by so many....that it has come to be viewed as an offensive term.
Do you agree?
Negro is the correct term to describe people of the "negroid" race. Just as caucasian and asian are.
Is "caucasian" a "slur" used with "malicious intent"?
What about "asian"?
Is that a "slur" with "malicious intent"?
Describe how "malicious intent" can be attached to a benign word?
Who determines "intent"?
This school is 100% Navajo Indian and they are damn proud to be REDSKINS!!
Will Harry Reid Tell This 100% Navajo Indian High School Their ?Redskins? Mascot is Racist?
What about the other 2 questions? You'd like to ignore them, right?Intent matters.

Your last question.......
The person using the word determines intent.
You have used the "Caucasian" and "Asian" argument several times here.
That's doubletalk and evasion.A dictionary is not a suitable source for determining the intent of word usage.
The term "negro" is often used as a slur.
Not always.....but often enough to have become a word that YOU WOULD NOT USE to describe a black person.....TO ANOTHER BLACK PERSON.
I'm trying to figure out who is offended, not the Native Americans, it's white liberals that have the issue.

So, too, have the terms "cracker" and "peckerwood" been used maliciously but I don't cry when the terms are used.
It's interesting that folks are up in arms for using the term "Redskins" because it draws attention to the color of someone's skin but then the same folks turn around and demand that we call black people "black" instead of Negro. So if you're "black" we're to use a term that draws attention to skin color but if you're Indian it's taboo to do so. What a bunch of mental midgets!!!

Ok..I don't have any "malicious intent", so therefore your argument isn't valid.
Yes...and it's still valid.
Are they "slurs" or not?
That's doubletalk and evasion.
There is NO BOOK ANYWHERE that "determines the intent of word usage".
The term "negro" is often used as a slur.
You keep saying that..but you also say that "the person using the word determines intent".
Which is it?
Not always.....but often enough to have become a word that YOU WOULD NOT USE to describe a black person.....TO ANOTHER BLACK PERSON.
I use negro often. I use it in front of negroes. I also say "black"...See..you invent these fantasy scenarios with people doing imaginary things...and you pretend that somehow "supports" your arguments.
Skip all that "to another black person"...you ever hear what they call each other?
What are the demographics of the town/city you live in?
Just curious.

The term "cracker" doesn't have a genocide attached to it.
That might have something to do with it.
I don't believe that you use the term "negro" to refer to black people when speaking to black people.

So, too, have the terms "cracker" and "peckerwood" been used maliciously but I don't cry when the terms are used. I just see the user of said terms as ignorant, pea-brains and move on with my life. I don't declare a national emergency and call the ACLU when I hear someone using them. Too petty for my blood.

"Negro" is the anthropologically correct term for people of the negroid race.
It has nothing to do with "genocide".
You are absolutely correct that the word "cracker" is often used as a slur. Therefore, it's use is often considered socially unacceptable. That is doesn't bother you is not proof that it is often not used as a slur.

If I were surrounded by people who did not look like me and they started calling me the term "cracker" - I would definitely be offended - because in that situation its quite obvious they are using the term to offend me. (When someone intentionally tries to offend - they shouldn't be surprised when someone is offended, should they?)
On the other hand if I see someone using it on TV I'm not.
So it depends on context.

What black people say to other black people is not of consequence here.
We are discussing why the word "negro" has become a word that is often used in a manner that is not socially acceptable.
I don't believe that you use the term "negro" to refer to black people when speaking to black people.
I believe it 100%. I also have an inkling in my head as to what those folks think about him - at least the ones younger than ~70 years old.
What about all the other teams with similar names?
A Canadian team called The Eskimos. Racist?
Vikings? They never wore horned hats so the logo is stereotypical
Angels? Too religious for atheists?
Where does this ignorance stop?
eskimo, Vikings and angels aren't derogatory terms.
would you want to see a team called the staten island wops? or the Brooklyn kikes?
meh.. maybe you would. but i'd like to think you wouldn't. those words are more analogous. and not acknowledging that is what is ignorant. but please ... tell native americans how they should enjoy being referred to that way.
