True fact: If a nuclear holocaust decimated all human civilization on this planet, the only things left would be a few of those sugar-coated gummy Cola bottles, Joan Rivers’s face, and several thousand audio clips of people talking about the Redskins nickname.

They don’t exactly have a microphone every day. If it were African Americans, you’d know all about it.”
