The dog’s name.
Nobody has suggested burning copies of books with the offensive word in them. History will always bear the dog’s name.
Some of you need to ask yourselves why the name of the dog is so important to you. Are you really a warrior for truth and justice?
If the petition were to succeed (which we all know it won’t) all you will have achieved will be for many, many people to think that you are all (and by association many military veterans) racists.
I don’t fling that word around very often and I am not a fan of erasing history but this is one I just don’t get.
Maybe it is not an issue for some of us to discuss. Maybe those of us who were never called that word just don’t understand how demeaning it is and was.
