The only people upset buy these nicknames are the liberal, white crackers. It doesn’t bother any of the Indians that I know. They wear a lot of these logos on their hats and jackets.

Exactly. It’s only insulting to people who are perenially insulted about something or other.

Would these whiners be insulted if their picture were on a dollar bill? That’s considered a compliment, is it not?

My grandfather was a full-blood Dakota Sioux — his favorite NFL team? Washington Redskins - his son’s favorite team?
Washington Redskins!!

Truly amazing is it not?

Right on. The schools took those names because they recognized that they were proud people with brave, valiant warriors. Using the name is not mockery or a slur; they chose the name because they respected them and their abilities in a virtuous way. It is an honor.
