White Jesus; Socialist Jesus; Washington Redskins

The gang is back. Segment one is about the Shaun King White Jesus episode and what it means for the discourse. Segment two is about the Wasington Redskins situation. Matt argues that the case against the name is undeveloped. Segment three is a brief foray into Jesus is a Socialist rhetoric.

Not sure this should impact the argument, but in undergrad I remember going through various studies that found that although Native Americans largely weren’t offended by terms like redskin, their self worth appeared to lower after being presented with such terms and stereotypical movie representations.

I don't have any stake in the Redskins name change, but I read somewhere that "Redskin" was used a derogatory term back in the day. Just change it. People will get used to a new name and move on. Perhaps Jesus would not lean socialist if he were walking the earth, but he certainly wouldn't lean capitalist. I enjoy "Jesus was a socialist" just for the irritation it causes the Christian right:) Can you guys do a short segment on the mail-in ballot issue? Repubs appear to rail against it and the Dems promote it. I don't understand the issue. Would like to hear your analysis.
