The "R" word is not allowed....You might guess why...shameful that anyone finds the need to use it...but no surprise, considering the source...

What’s this got to do with the free market? I’m not sure you understand what the term represents. I’ll help a bit. It has nothing to do with the Federal Government’s money. Try to find a dollar that D.C. sends anywhere without a chain attached.

Your post made no sense at all.

Misconception:​

“Redskins / Redmen is Racist”​

90% of Native Americans disagree with you/that statement.



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.



Context and intent matter. Activists intend to make Redskins / Redmen a pejorative term. NAGA disagrees and chooses to elevate and reclaim the Name Redskins / Redmen.

School boards and sports organizations have the opportunity to make this word officially hateful or honorable by their actions, for this generation and all those that follow. Choose wisely and keep this word from ever hurting others.

Native names and imagery are protected, defended and saved by the Native American Guardian’s Association (NAGA). Educate not Eradicate - learn more here - nagaeducation.org


Redskins was originated by Native Americans to refer to themselves, the logo was designed and approved by Native American leaders, and the vast majority of both Native Americans and the public revere the Name.



“It's not a term that the white man created. It's actually a term that the Indians themselves created. I just think we have people in this country that try and gin up problems that don't exist." ~ Chief Robert “Two Eagles” Green of the Patawomeck Tribe



“Redskins” or “Red people” are the most authentic terms as the Native Americans used a color system to identify others. In the late 1600s and 1700s, the term was first used by Native Americans to self-describe and distinguish themselves from the White man and Black man. "Redskins" was first used as an inclusive expression of solidarity by multi-tribal delegations. Some early written recordings of the use of the word Redskins:



  1. In 1812, Chief Meskwaki Black Thunder is quoted, “I turn to all, red skins and white skins, and challenge an accusation against me.”
  2. In 1822, it is recorded that Big Elk (chief of the Omaha tribe) self-described himself as a Red Skin. In conversation with President James Monroe: “I am almost the only Red Skin opposed to war.”....

Funny thing about that organization. They speak for almost no Native Americans. They certainly didn't conduct any kind of a survey or poll to make their claim. They are using an old poll that predates the one I cited. They are simply trying to get along in ND where 80% of the whites are upset over losing the "fighting Sioux" name.

They want statehood to pack the Senate and you know that very well.

How about they just join back up with Maryland instead?

There you have it folks. MAGA morons never believed in self determination, and will always rabidly oppose self determination and statehood for Puerto Rico and DC strictly for self-interested partisan reasons.

I've never heard anyone of any significance in Maryland say they want DC back. The tax base in DC probably isn't worth all the trouble for Maryland.

A poll was taken to see if indigenous Indians would like to have the Cleveland Indians baseball team name returned,
and the poll found that over 70% of them did want that Indian name restored. So take your pejorative comment of
this racial group and stick it far up your decayed arse.

As a Native American, such team names honors the American indian and their ferocity in battle.
Bring back the Redskins and the Cleveland Indians.

Well, you're older than me, so you must be older than "older than dirt" with flappies dangling below your waist. lol
No, Why should we have to change a name that's been used for so many years because YOU are offended?

Racist? Yeah, you've been using that shit on me for years without any reason.. There's nothing racist about using those names that have been used for so many years. You libturds just need something to cry and bitch about. You people aren't happy unless you're destroying America's traditions.

Thank you.
