White liberals: We'll say who the racists are

But again: Colbert’s intent rescues this remark. He doesn’t mean anything bad by it, after all.

But think about that. He’s attacking Dan Snyder’s supposedly offensive use of “Redskins” for his team name. And doing so using 1910s era coolie-jokes to do so. But Colbert’s intent must be considered here. After all, he’s just ripping Dan Snyder.

But what about Dan Snyder’s intent? Does that save Dan Snyder?

Does the Washington Redskins’ clear lack of intent to denigrate Native Americans save it?

If Colbert can say the Forbidden Words with impunity — which he asserts, as do all the White Liberals lining up to defend him and attack Korean-American “hastag activist” Suey Park for being such a stupid Gook to not get the joke — because he had a permissible intent in using them, why can’t Dan Snyder keep his team name as the Redskins for the same reason?

Obviously no one names a sports club after something they think is substandard, or shoddy, or weak, or useless.
