I don’t remember the Kennedys ever going after the ‘Skins name issue way back when, Why now?

I guess the media mafia needs a new or rather old item to revisit to cover-up for their pitiful efforts on reporting current events nationwide.

Because, as leftists are so often heard saying, we’re a “more enlightened” country now. BTW, leftists in 2050 will view leftists in 2013 as odious. The standards keep changing with them.

The strategy of the left is to create and pander to “victim” groups in order to expand their socialist army. Their actual ideas and goals are so odious that they don’t help attract people to their cause. So they keep their true intentions as quiet as they can. Instead they have to manufacture side issues like this in order to get donations and votes.

Probably came to them that "red" and "skin" could refer to potatoes, and potatoes remind them of an Irish Seven Course meal, and that plays to some forms of the addiction gene that most Kennedys apparently have.

You're talking 1960 to 1963. Civil rights for Indians were even a smoke signal on the horizon. The only Indians the public knew were Tonto, Geronimo, chief Crazy Horse, Hiawatha, Pocohontas, Squanto and maybe one or two others.
