For the uneducated...Go get some
In fact, it?s rather ironic that a nation that meted out extreme violence against Native Americans can somehow view Native Americans as the wild ones. Nevertheless, the qualities of being wild, primal and uncivilized are stereotyped perceptions of Native Americans that still permeate mainstream American culture, which the team?s owners have bought into. Instead, of helping to rid the culture of the stereotype, the football franchise is simply reinforcing it. These stereotypes are also damaging to White Americans because they foster a sense of superiority by denigrating an entire group of People of Color.

Bigboto,
That's a farce. The Natives claimed violence only after they realized what shitty traders they were.
A pack of smokes and a bottle of whiskey for Montana? C'mon man.
OMG lighten up Princess...it's a damn football moniker! Only ones getting offended are the PC whacknuts like you....:0026
I haven't seen a single post of any degredation towards Indians. I for one am sick of the preferential treatment they get in my state. Get a car tag, no tax, own a business, no tax, and on and on. It's gotten so bad that they have now sued a company for trying to put wind farms on private land because they say that it will take away income they would be able to get from mineral rights that they own. Anyone else wouldn't even attempt with such a feeble defense. Believe me, Indians have it made around here.

Why didn't you ever tell me that? This would have saved me at least 6,000 posts. :mj07:

Where is Rusty? He is a native american historian and expert.
Have a few native friends and have never heard of a complaint but the subject matter never came up. Will have to ask if they are offended by the monikers.
Didn't Israel just complete a 1,000 to one man swap?
opcorn2 Looks a little lopsided.In your defense Boto, I'm not offended by REDSKINS name, but it does appear hypocritical when the very city which makes all the other Indian "nicknames" change, doesn't use the same power to make the nation's capital team change theirs. On the other hand, we are talking about people who live by "their" rules while making others live by another set. :0008
