  • So based on that past behavior, do we remove all reference to Native Americans, or do we chalk it up to common behavior those times? I’ll hang up and listen.

    • Yes chattel slavery was utilized as a form of European assimilation post European contact. And don’t conflate plains and mountain tribes with meso-American tribes, that did use the chattel form. I stand by my statement as it is reinforced with the link.

        Which tribe does Redskin refer to? Is it Meso-American, plains, or mountain? What about Pacific Northwestern Tribes? Did they partake in any of these activities? How about the Atlantic Coastal tribes? What about the actions of the Cherokee vs the Pawnee?

        Are Clovis people Redskins or are they Asian? Did Asians partake in slavery?

        What about Nigerians vs Egyptians? Congolese? Were all of them assimilated, treated as chattel or exterminated?

        People from the Barberry coast, should they be remembered or taken down? How about the Japanese and their extermination of other Asian cultures in the last century?

        WHERE DOES THIS END!

        • I am truly sorry that you cannot find even so much as an inkling of rational thought that the term, which I have personally experienced, may be derogatory in context and through the passage of time. That is on you and has nothing to do with “where does this end?”

          Be well and stay safe.

                This needs to be the model for everyone.

                  I agree. It doesn't matter what nationality, creed, or race, people need to learn. Not giving the chance to learn only leads to more hate on both sides. Some people can understand and change quickly, others cannot, for many, many reasons, some of it not of their own doing.

                  • They should rename as the Washington Internal Polls. They'd always be ahead.
                    Dominance is a state of mind.

                              • Change the Redskins name, not because American Indians thought it was disrespectful, but because white leftist loons thought it was disrespectful.
