    Redskins Getting Questioned Again.....

    @Hookem Horns There are 574 federally recognized tribes and some members want zero names and imagery, while others are good with it. With names and imagery, you still get people dressing up in red face. Is it socially acceptable to be in black face? I'm mostly fine with names and imagery...

    Redskins Getting Questioned Again.....

    I'm Comanche, Arikara, Seneca and Mohawk. None of my tribes like it. A better sampling than those 500+ ridiculous "self identifying" phone call polls, would be the National Congress of Native Americans. They represent several million Natives who collectively find the name offensive, and have...

    Adrian Peterson has been indicted

    The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

    Adrian Peterson has been indicted

    Not very many people who maintain a loving and respectful relationship with their grandparents and parents are willing to call them abusers. I finally watched 12 Years a Slave about a week ago. That was the first thing that came to mind when this story broke.

    Adrian Peterson has been indicted

    Children learn what they live. Then they become adults and their children learn what they lived. And so on.

    Ray Rice arrested in Atlantic City

    Guilty as charged. It's a business, a well oiled machine, and they operate it with skill. They're counting on us fanatics to get over our righteous indignation in due time and we will. We always do.

    September 26-28 Lawton, OK A good place to visit for tribal history is the Comanche National Museum and Cultural Center.

    Should the Redskins change their name?

    Natives have always been concerned about those living conditions but no one cares enough to listen, who can do anything about it.

    Bull, I'm inviting you to join me at the Comanche Nation Fair in September. I'd like to introduce you to the Tribal Chairman (my cousin) and the Elders group, so they can introduce you to your heritage and culture :)

    Should the Redskins change their name?

    No it isn't. The Comanche Nation is on record as to that fact. Further, if you had any cultural roots with the tribe, you'd know better than to speak for them (me) without permission from tribal elders.

    2011 called, and Vince Young finally answered

    If he did all that then he apologized. If he's wanting a response then he's STILL making it all about him. I wish he'd apologize to all of us Titans fans.

    Should the Redskins change their name?

    Here are approximately 3 million Natives for you http://www.changethemascot.org/supporters-of-change/ And your assertion that liberals are behind this is bunk. Natives have been against this name since the very beginning. No one listened back then, no one gave a damn. I've said everything...

    Should the Redskins change their name?

    Harjo declines to estimate what percentage of native people oppose the name. But she notes that the many organizations supporting her lawsuit include the Cherokee, Comanche, Oneida and Seminole tribes, as well as the National Congress of American Indians, the largest intertribal organization...

    Should the Redskins change their name?

    Even if someone is a mere fraction, I want to know if they identify as NAI. I'm 3/4 NAI and the remaining 1/4 is Irish, German, Spanish, Turkish. If the Annenburg Institute calls me and asks if I'm Irish, I can truthfully answer yes. That doesn't mean I know a damn thing about the Irish...

    Should the Redskins change their name?

    I live very well and I'm pretty darn happy, but not out of revenge. I've not ever liked revenge as motivation. The only people that have ever told me I shouldn't be offended about anything related to ethnicity, have been Caucasian men. Weird, huh? Take care and God bless :)

    Should the Redskins change their name?

    I don't ever talk about it until it comes up. I don'y hardly think about it all because they're NFC. We play them this year in the preseason and I have no idea how much attention I'll give to it. It's not explicitly racist to you, but it is to me. I don't expect you to care how I feel...

    In your opinion as a NAI, what is more akin to n*gger?

    Should the Redskins change their name?

    You're not cultural. At least I didn't read anything that indicates otherwise. I'm sure there are cultural Indians who don't agree with me. Their opinion absolutely matters to me.

    Should the Redskins change their name?

    I don't remember the Houston Crackers being a choice when choosing the team name. My factoid pointed out that hardly anyone gave a damn what Indians thought back then. Thought I'd mention that I'm not debating with any of you. I have no illusions about changing your minds. I hope you all...
