Anglo Saxon is racist

[liberty]

Um, Bill - Anglo Saxons ARE Germanic.

An·glo-Sax·on
/ˌaNGɡlōˈsaksən/
adjective
relating to or denoting the Germanic inhabitants of England from their arrival in the 5th century up to the Norman Conquest.
noun
1.
a Germanic inhabitant of England between the 5th century and the Norman Conquest.
2.
another term for Old English.

You beat me to it, but considering how much I have to work that is not surprising.

No worries; love the ‘rootin’ Teuton.’

I’m a large percent Germanic too, but with a French Huguenot name. Have a goodly bit of Celtic mixed in, so the rootin’ Teuton must have loved some local lasses upon invasion.

And we are a warring people; possibly explains why we piss each other off so often. Or maybe you’re just a horse’s ass.

I bet I have you beat on that. My ancestry is alphabet soup of ethnics.

I have a solution for you liberals. You can cleanse your racist family names by sending reparation payments to Al Sharpton. Being a man of honor, he will see to it that the money is put to the best use.

Fallacy of composition

All Anglo-Saxons are Germanic, but not all Germanics are Anglo-Saxon.

That summa cum laude associate's degree from the University of East Butt Crack hasn't done you any favours.

• Just one more in a long list of articles that the village idiot misrepresents because he did not actually read it.

Indeed. If you read it you'll discover that the article is about problems within the academic community of medieval scholars (i.e., graduate and postgraduate-level university personnel who study the language, literature, history and culture of fifth- to 11th-century England) regarding several issues — including inclusivity within their field, and the unintended connotations of the name of their field's largest professional organization.

To represent the story as anything else is (to use a term lib might be familiar with) FAKE NEWS, pure and simple.

That is true but they are changing the name because some racist group call themselves Anglo Saxons. Well some racist also call themselves Americans too does that mean we can’t use word America. There is no need to change the name there is nothing wrong with Anglo Saxon Studies. I chose not to hyphenate.

It says nothing of the kind. Once again you prove that you do not do others the courtesy of reading the articles you post before commenting on them.

Lord preserve us from such dimness. lib, you silly person. The ONLY creature in the world banging on that my surname or anyone else's surname is "racist" is you.

The Anglo-Saxon club boffins (all of them probably desperate for human contact - they are are, after all, college profs and similar meaningless elitists) don't give a monkey's arse about your name or my name or anyone else's name. It would be so liberating for you to actually read and understand the material you post.

Hard to find any evidence that Mr. Liberty can read beyond the third-grade level of comprehension.

Maybe, maybe not.
But remember too .... you're a lawyer; you've had advanced training in arguing and picking fights. ( right back at'cha!)

This is very true; I would give just about anything to go back to the months before law school and REALLY convince my mother that I didn't want to go. For what it's worth, I don't like post-law school me very much, either. I was a mostly really lovely person before law school.

Did they or did they not vote to change the name of the organization because the name is problematic? Otherwise there would be no need for a name change.

You stingy old fart just send your money to the Reverend Al Sharpton and you can be absolved of you racist quilt. And I suspect when Al Sharpton hears of it he will agree with me.

Read for the deeper meaning!

And, do something about that racist guilt of your before it kills you. Send money to Al he will help you out.

I made a complete and utter fool of myself by not bothering to read what I posted, so now I have to figure out a way to walk back the moronic drivel I wrote about it.
