True.. I want to see posters such as Lahkota come in to this thread and equally condemn that demonstration of "RACISM." I don't personally see it was racist but those who demand the Washington Redskins change their name need to be consistent.
Oklahoma translates to RED PEOPLE:
The name Oklahoma comes from the Choctaw phrase okla humma, literally meaning red people
What's the difference between Red Skin and Red People? Why aren't they protesting for Oklahoma to change its state name?
Because Oklahoma was named after and Indian word. The state is also home to many tribes, to include the 5 civilized tribes of the US..The state has a right to use the name Red Mans land which is what Okiehoma really means...but
Washington Redskins do not have the right to use what the Red Man does not want to be used to disrespect the red man..
How about the Washington Slant Eyed Yellow Devils team for a name?
