Guess What Group Is the Washington Commanders Restore Name

On the one hand, "Redskins" certainly was coined, more than a century ago, as an ethnic slur.
On the other hand, who on the planet ever uses it that way anymore?
To almost everybody, it was just the nickname of a professional football club.

Pandering to the hypersensitive and to the perpetrators of righteous indignation is a current fashion
that may or may not take hold long term. I'm hoping it doesn't.

It didn't start out as a slur Indians called themselves Redskins when talking with the French and Americans





According to Smithsonian historian Ives Goddard, early historical records indicate that "Redskin" was used as a self-identifier by Native Americans to differentiate between the two races. Goddard found that the first use of the word "redskin" came in 1769, in negotiations between the Piankashaws and Col. John Wilkins. Throughout the 1800s, the word was frequently used by Native Americans as they negotiated with the French and later the Americans.

Indians themselves coined the term Redskin
 
If the claim made in the OP is true, then I'm all for them changing back to their original name.

The only problem I have is believing anything right-wing Trumpers say anymore.

You guys post so much utter bullshit, if you ever do say something true and fact-based, it's impossible to take seriously until other believable sources report it.

Personally, I hope it's true.

Take an actual video, anu unless it id run my MSNBS, CNN, or some other source they are spoon fed, and they shut their eyes and stick their fingers in their ears.

Some day when you are bored and want to know what they will all be screeching about that particular day, go to Media Matters,

they seem to control the leftie mouths for the day by day vomit.

They not only spoke English but colloquial English as well. Impressive,
unless you refer to real Indians, who could in fact speak English, coining the term to describe indigenous Americans.

Redskins / Redmen is a Native American iconic name and is revered by the vast majority of Native Americans and general public alike. Redskins/Redmen represents honor, respect and pride for Native American culture. Redskins / Redmen is and has been a self-identifying term for Natives since the early 1800s.

The name Redskins was chosen in 1933 to honor Native Americans in general and the coach and four players at that time who were Native American; and that in 1971 coach George Allen consulted with the Red Cloud Indian Fund on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation when designing the logo.

The term Cowboys (which originated from black slaves that worked the cows) is revered by black and white people alike.

White cowboys were called cowhands, and African Americans were pejoratively referred to as “cowboys.”
