Do it for Chief Zee!

Blackfeet Chief Two Guns White Calf was my great uncle and a great American icon. Americans know his face: he was the face of the Washington Redskins for 48 years, until he was cancelled in 2020.
Americans once knew his story.
White Calf defended tribal traditions in our Blackfeet homeland in Montana, where many of us still live today. He went to Washington D.C. where he forced the U.S. government to honor Indian treaties. He served as a model for the U.S. Mint’s famous 1913 “Indian head” nickel. White Calf’s face is still a collector’s item.
...
White Calf became the proud warrior face of the Redskins in 1972, championed by Blackfeet leader Blackie Wetzel and with support of Native Americans across the country.
Cancel-culture racists decided at some point they wanted to get rid of Indian images in the public domain. The Redskins and Two Guns were their No. 1 target.
White Calf’s name was dropped from the Redskins narrative. His life story was erased from history. Even worse: Uncle Two Guns was dehumanized. He was ridiculed as a “savage and clownish mascot.”
The National Congress of American Indians Fund, which led the effort to erase and ridicule Uncle Two Guns, was funded in part by the George Soros foundation.
They reduced a hero to a clown so they could remove American Indians from American history.
Polls by the Washington Post and others showed that 90% of Indians supported the Redskins. Nobody cared what Indians thought. Nobody asked the White Calf family for our opinion.
... We ask that the Washington Redskins — still the Redskins to us — work with President Trump to reclaim their rightful name and their proud image of American hero John Two Guns White Calf.

But white liberals feels bad and must protect you! You need them!
Blackfeet Chief Two Guns White Calf was my great uncle and a great American icon. Americans know his face: he was the face of the Washington Redskins for 48 years, until he was cancelled in 2020.
the same thing happened with the family of the lady that was the model for Aunt Jemima. As always, white liberals think they know what’s best for minorities
“Washington Redskins+ - much better name than the nauseating Washington Unconstitutional Commanders (”WUC”).
“Cancel-culture racists” AKA social justice warriors - destructive folks.
Always laugh when some woke white liberals complain about the Florida State Seminoles - then get a letter from the tribe’s head counsel saying cease and desist, you are interfering with our licensing rights.
BTW that apparently happens every few years or so…
Do it for Chief Zee!
Right on. Get’er done. Hail to the Redskins!
And Jerry should put Crazy Ray in The Ring of Honor!
When some brave soul take Soros and his slime sons out, I wish to be on the jury.
If a true leader cannot be represented by the D.C. team, let’s at least give those who they play for representation: Name the team “Swamp Rats”
They should have just shortened it to “Reds”.
Washington,D.C. “Ticks”
Congress should hold public hearings on this issue, inviting the family and other Indians to testify, and then float a resolution demanding that the Cleveland whatevers restore the name ... would be fun to see Democrats vote against such a resolution and attack the Indians in the hearings ...
Prior to the name change, every survey of native Americans that was done showed that a majority of them had no problem with the nme. This was a problem of lily-white liberals.
It’s so vicious, celebrating famous Indians and blacks. They must be removed from team logos and pancake syrup bottles! It always starts small. Hitler had pancake syrup bottles and team logos with pictures of Jooos and Gypsies on them. After that, it was a slippery slope./s
Hear. Hear.
