What is racist about the Redskins name

[Sailor]

Indeed. Shelby Steel has wrote about how white liberals are using this as form of white superiority. Telling blacks that they are hopeless, and only they can save them.

Fortunately some blacks are waking up and smelling the BS. Candice Owens and Kanye to name a few. Many more need to.

Quite a few real black civil rights leaders from the 60's are speaking up against this also. It is backfiring on Democrats who are doing this for political purposes only. I just hope it is not far gone to stop the what looks like to me inevitable violence between the mobs and citizens.

Indians used the term

1769: The first unchallenged use of the word “redskin” occurs when a British lieutenant colonel translates a letter from an Indian chief promising safe passage if the officer visited his tribe in the Upper Mississippi Valley.

“I shall be pleased to have you come to speak to me yourself if you pity our women and our children; and, if any redskins do you harm, I shall be able to look out for you even at the peril of my life,” Chief Mosquito said in his letter, according to a 2005 study by Ives Goddard, the Smithsonian Institution’s senior linguist emeritus.

Blacks call themselves niggers too. More dbl standard.

Four years ago, when the owner even said then he would never change the name, not the same today, and seeing you couldn't give an honest answer to the simple question I asked shows you know the name isn't appropriate and offends others

It’s definitely not the same today.

What changed?
