ubama is an embarrassment to everyone except to muslims and democrats. I am Choctaw. Indians I know are WAY OVER whatever occurred in 1492. I am more pissed off about the billions in stolen timber monies and oil/gas royalties that the Interior Department lost/stole from individuals and tribes from the 1920 to the 1990’s.

The inevitable clash of cultures was hard, but unavoidable. It was a tough life on everyone in 15th through 19th Centuries, unless you were a member of the elite. Some things just don’t change, I guess.

Hope you don't mind this question. If the Indians of the US are actually offended by the mascot name "Redskins", I think it should be changed. But if this is just a bunch of PC whiners and rabble rousers and attention seeking activists, then they should be told to STFU, etc. I think it should be voted on by the tribes.

Do you think that name is offensive to a significant number of Indians in the US?
