Molly Qerim gets right to it and calls out all the sports teams currently marketing offensive mascots: Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians, Florida State Seminoles, Atlanta Braves, she forgot the Kansas City Chiefs, but the list goes on and on in minor leagues. Sports fans\u00a0and\u00a0team owners have been trying to defend their blatantly stereotypical usage of Native culture as simply, celebrating their own history and tradition as a sports team, similar to the argument wavers of the confederate flag spew. Many white fragilists took to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.essence.com\/2016\/04\/07\/bomani-jones-rocks-caucasians-shirt-espn-and-twitter-cant-handle-it\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> to express their hurt feelings, only to be put in check for hypocrisy.\n\nI'm confused, do these Twitter mongers\u00a0not understand sarcasm? I thought it was a give in. If someone is going to call you out for being offensive, you can't respond by childishly saying, \"Treat others as you wish to be treated,\" if you're then going to continue giving\u00a0them swirlies like the playground bully you are. It's a two-way street people, if you're not blantanly mocking someone's culture, then they won't have to call you out for it, will they? Bomani explains his choice to wear the shirt best,\n\n<blockquote>\"The reason they won\u2019t get rid of Chief Wahoo \u2014 it\u2019s completely indefensible \u2014 is because they can still sell stuff with it. They can say they\u2019re going to de-emphasize it, but they\u2019re not going to set money on fire.\n\nIf you\u2019re quiet about the Indians and now you\u2019ve got something to say about my shirt, I think it\u2019s time for introspection.\"<\/blockquote>\n\nAs a white person, I personally prefer this style because\u00a0I think it's more indicative of true Caucasian culture. I mean, backwards sunglasses, that's the coolest...
