Native Americans Want Redskins Name Back

5/8 Cherokee and I could give two ***** what any team calls itself. you are a weak person if a slang name bothers you that bad. People tend to forget we were not allowed to use the white bathroom, drinking fountain or restaurants either.

It’s virtue signaling. These dipshits want to act like they are fighting racism without actually fighting real racist issues, so they concoct some fake problem they can get credit for protesting.

They would probably run the other way if they saw a minority getting jumped by actual racists. They just want something easy to do so they can post it on social media. All they really do is shift focus from actual problematic racism… more harm than good

Cherokee south or Cherokee Oklahoma?

I remember going into Mesa AZ as a kid. My grandfather took me in as a learning moment. He took me to a Barber shop that a sign in front said, "if you are Indian, go get your hair cut somewhere else" That moment actually inspired me as a kid. I became to think of Business. that Barber basically took 45% of the people needing haircuts elsewhere.

I know live in the corporate world. you want to call yourself Redskin? there is a reason for it and it is not negative. Go redskins. (unless you play the Steelers. then **** you)

my great great grandmother took that walk from Georgia to Oklahoma, I think she was like 8 years old. I guess i'm l'm blessed to be here. My grandmother and my father lived on the reservation in the early 1900's. when my dad got home from the war they relocated to Indiana, a few years later I came along. My dad told me he served on the Alabama so when I moved to Alabama I went on the tour of the ship. sure as **** his name is listed in the ship with all the others that served there during the war. pretty cool stuff.

My great grandma was in a Japanese interment camp in New Mexico. A lot of us have had some family type of “injustice” at some point. You and I are not out there demanding reparations though. It’s stupid to get mad at others for something they have nothing to do with other than an ancestor being involved
 
you know it's a shame how we have become such a bunch of ******* in this nation. I for one would welcome back the team being called the redskins because it just feels natural. I have said this so many times I feel like a broken record. IT'S A WORD. it does not define who you are, you define who you are by your actions and reactions.

We have so many more pressing issues in this country that getting all tittie hurt over being called a redskin, nigger, spic, kike or any other thing you can think of is just stupid.
I must just be an idiot because I can not understand how any race can use those slang words amongst themselves but find them so offensive if another race uses them. just blows my mind.

will you be defined by a name you are called or by the way you live your life.

Bring back the redskins let get back to some normalcy in this country.

But that’s the way you look at it, but what about the majority of Native Americans that don’t like it so much?

I’ve never look at the name as being racist or derogatory, but my feeling has always been that who are we to decide?

If Native Americans are OK with it, and it’s only a bunch of white liberals who think they know what’s best for everyone else, then Im good with the Redskins name.
But if the majority of American Indians don’t like it then I feel we should honor their wishes.

my great great grandmother almost made that walk. She was sold to a farmer. One of the farm hands then saved money to buy her from the farmer. He was my great great grandfather.
