And that’s basically it!
Most MAGA people I have been forced to listen to, say there is only racism against whites. "Racism can only be a supremacist view" (not simply I just hate/suspect members of a race because....) and so accusing America of being racist "can only be an anti-white racist view".
That NFL removes this, may, just may in the DEI advocate view, encourage whites to adopt supremacism instead of being angry that this "racism against whites" is the new NFL approved policy.
The problem is that most "anti racism" campaigns are just low ganging "white men bad" bullshit. They don't actually tackle the source of racism or actually do anything to help minorities, since that would cost actual money.
So they just attack white men, which alienates working class people because they are getting fucked by the system just like the rest of us schmoes.
In reality it's another way to divide the working class against each other, because Cletus from Alabama is getting fucked just like Wayne from the Bronx, but they are both being pitted against each other by the ultra rich and mega corps.
The right latches onto the anger of Cletus and tells him it's all Wayne's fault the left rushes to the side of Wayne and tells him Cletus is a racist piece of shit that needs to be knocked down a peg.
Meanwhile, Chad is siphoning both their 401ks and laughing his ass off from his mansion.
Are they taking it off the helmets too, did we solve racism already?

KANSAS CITY RACISTS
Would be more honest had they only removed 'End'
They can save time by only removing ND from END and adding MOR before END.
/j
Because they want to continue racism? I mean, how did it get there in the first place. "Oh wait... Nevermind. We weren't serious."
Oh, America.
Haha hope uncle kenny speaks on some o this
Honestly it was pretty dumb to begin with. "End racism" is not really a measurable or actionable goal.
They'll replace it with "End DEI".
Cowards
Not everything has to be drenched in politics at all times. And doing so is not a crime, aside to those cultist people, whether they are on the right or the left.
Edit:
Wow. Some people here really want politics into everything.
Shocker: Not everyone wants that, 24/7. That is how you alienate average people and why trump got elected.
Not because people are racist, as this sort of thing comes off as a cult. Despite the obvious good intentions. Can't be the only one that sees this. I mean, can't be, since the orange man won. And I say this as a non-American looking in.
You need to realize the privilege you have to say this. There is a mass erasure of people going on.
Acknowledging the world has issues, and active removal of that acknowledgement is not just fucking "politics." It's about humanity. It's about respecting people. It's about progress.
This is being done to appease the same fat shithead nazi who is scrubbing Trans from the government. Who is stoking fear into the lives of millions because of the ACTIVE effort to suppress them and their concerns.
And this isn't only a US issue. There's been a clear push towards fascism worldwide for a while.
You don't see that because you have some kind of privilege, or you just idiotically have your head in the sand.
