So there are about 4 or 4 theories on why Southern bases were named after Confederate Generals.

Not a single one of them is what you have stated.

Multiple can be true at the same time. It’s widely understood why they named the bases after confederate generals. But naming them after two southern generals who were both famous and had been reconned by tradition into something other than the failures both on and off the battlefield they weee understood to be in their own lives is exactly the kind of ironic genius that institutional bureaucracy produces when politicians force it to something repellent and contrary to its mission.
Are you honestly saying that naming bases after John Bell Hood and Braxton fucking Bragg were good faith attempts to honor the gallant conduct of the confederate forces? Come on man. That’s Lost Cause bullshit.

Not really. My junior high growing up was named after John Bell Hood. It certainly wasn't to poke fun at the south. It was a middle finger to blacks daring to move into white areas like Pleasant Grove. 

When the army does it, it’s irony. When the local school board does it, it’s ignorance.

Fleshing out the point for clarity:

For various reasons the Federal government wanted to build bases in the south. Politicians wanted to name those southern bases after confederates to garner support from southern people, who had been lied to systematically about the past.
Part of the “lost cause” myth involved rehabbing some pretty terrible officers like Bragg and Hood (who were reviled in their own time and survived the war to die in or near poverty) into heroes.
So, when the politicians told the war department and the army to name bases after traitors, the army gave them bases named after the men whose mistakes and failures were key moments in losing the war. Good bull.

I haven’t written anything that leads to any of those accusations or assumptions.  That is an utterly absurd post filled with hate. You have no basis to make these statements. 
 

You sir, are a bigot.

you think anyone who takes offense to the name "Redskin" as an official team name of a multi-billion dollar NFL franchise is laughably out of touch, and I'm the bigot?

LOL. 

I'm sorry my words accurately described you. Go fuck yourself in the unkindliest way possible.

Are you saying that gingers are the redheaded stepchildren of historically oppressed people in the United States?

Redskin was not considered to be a slur for a very long time.   I never wrote anything condoning the use of the term. I never wrote anything promoting a white history month. 
 

The fact that you find it hilarious that I am insulted by a term that is specifically meant to be hurtful regarding the pigmentation of my skin proves you are a bigot. 
 

You are a mindless fool incapable of discourse. 
 

Keep showing your ass, bigot.

You're right. Boston Celtics is too PC. They should change the name to Boston Gingers.

Have a good laugh you hypocrites and bigots.  All of your posts past, present, and future on any type of racism are now invalid.  
 

Perhaps you should reflect on what you actually believe in, both morally and socially; definitely politically.

Perhaps you should shut the fuck up. You come in here and post a bunch of dumbass shit, get roasted, then try to cry and act like you're being persecuted. No, you're just a fucking idiot.
