Redskins respond to senators' name change demands: Why don't you do your actual job?

I'm proud (I speak after the flesh) to have "red" skin. I'm glad we are represented by gladiators on gridiron battlefields. It is an honor.
There are more and more liberal tribes, with overeducated female leaders in positions that we NEVER would have put them in, were we actually as traditional as we pretend.
So I speak for what I deem used to be a general consensus among Indians, that we are blessed the more that the public is reminded that we are here.
I hate Cleveland, but I wear an Indians cap, cuz I like the logo.
Redwings fan, but I wear Blackhawks gear, etc.
Our children are biased about our skin, they thank the Creator for it. Our skin heals quickly, needs no sunscreen, and keeps a 'tan'.

We are redskins. We are skraelings.
These descriptions don't hurt us.

 

:laugh: :thumbsup:

And to the senators: :tonofbricks:

This is exactly what my wife and I said to one another last night when she was watching the KU-K-State game and I was hoping the chicken-hawks would lose -- it gets interesting around our house, my being a Missouri fan -- and this story crawled across the bottom of ESPN's screen.

All the other stuff that needs to be addressed and these yahoos are trying vote-garner by essentially calling the Washington NFL franchise "racist." No, they didn't use the word, but they just as well have. These clowns don't even look at the polls, which clearly show a majority of Native Americans are not concerned/I] about the team's name!

 

A few years ago, I watched Bill O'Reilly discuss "offensive" sports mascots with a couple of liberals. I had the pleasure of watching it with a friend who is an Indian dancer, educator, re-enactor, and artist.

The one guest, who looked like every liberal, hippie stereotype you can imagine, said something to the effect of, "[Indians] may say they're not offended, but they just don't realize how offensive these things are."

My friend turned to me and said, "Oh, great. Another white liberal here to tell us what's good for us. That's always worked out well for us in the past, hasn't it?"

More than 100 years later, the infantilization of Indians by white liberals continues.

I think Bob Costas came closest to spilling the beans when he said that it doesn't matter if the Seminole Nation doesn't find Florida State's name offensive, it's offensive to the "rest of us", meaning his fellow liberals.
