Petition to Change the State Name of Indiana

[UGetPaid]

With the renaming of the Washington Redskins and the decision of the Cleveland Indians to change their team name AND the decision of Mississippi to change their racist state flag, I propose to the world that the State of Indiana is a racist, hateful and derogatory name. "Indiana" literally means "Land of the Indians" which is hateful and racist terminology that the woke world needs to focus their righteous indignation upon and impose change for the sake of change. Both the state and the state capital must be renamed in 2021 if we are really serious about the cancel culture mentality that we are moving toward at warp speed. Who would support an online petition to rename the racist state of Indiana to something more appropriate? And what would you call it?


Washington Football Team is already taken, so we will have to come up with something else. There is no time like the present, now that we are out of 2020 and turning over a new leaf - I propose that this should be out collective New Year's Resolution as a nation. Who's with me?

Interesting suggestion....I wonder what other ideas will surface as a result of those recent actions??

What the hey----we also need to change the name of Washington counties, cities and state, Lincoln counties and cities, Jefferson counties and cities, and all other presidential or other political names because they're all bad people.  How about changing surnames, too, while we're at it?

To the nitwits with the warped minds, see what trouble it causes? You can't just pick and choose which names to change. It should be all or nothing. That's what's wrong with this country today.  Did you see where they arrested 7 people in Philadelphia for "vandalizing federal buildings? Can you guess their ages? Yep. All in their early 20s. The guys were 25, the girls 22 & 23.  Smashed windows and anti-police anti-prison graffiti and damaged a sheriff's van and were carrying molotov cocktails but didn't get to use them. This is the indoctrination they have been getting from the colleges and the left.

The fact that it has "INDIAN" in the name and that it literally means "Land of the Indians" makes it inherently racist. Recent events prove that to be the case. It cannot be disputed.

But one thing you need to keep straight... It's not about the people, it is about the racist names and objects. Historical statues, state flags, and mascot/state names are racist - not people.   


(Edited to insert my /sarcasm tag for anyone who is not able to pick up on that intent).

It seems that any state that is mentioned are racist.  It looks like things have gotten worse and this is really bad.  No races are going anywhere, so why the racism.  All I do see is that the cowards are afraid.  Why?

I wonder if it is possible to roll my eyes anymore than I already have over the ricidculousness of political correctness. What is wrong with people?

I don't understand the idea of changing so many names.  What good is that going to do?  If you want to continue changing names eventually they will find a reason for everything to be changed.

We both are rolling our eyes.  This whole thing with name changing has gotten totally ridiculous .  These names have been around for years and it was fine with all the races, now all of a sudden people are finding fault with names.  So stupid

I think its all crazy.
