But you see, there is a big difference between “offending” somebody in a polite discussion, and a power structure furthering oppresive and racist representations of a group that it is activelly striking out against.. A singular person talking to another person and using the N word is a form of “offending”. Using the power of a structural institution (as baseball, football, hockey etc ARE, because the structure of capitalism supports and encourages their growth), to define a group extends well beyond “offending” some individual–when you’re talking about a group of people that is currently engaged in an active battle to keep their land/tribes safe from the same imperialistic and colonialistic power structure that is defining who they are to the rest of the world, I’d say you have some really big problems.
