Liberals’ favorite pastime is to cry racism in every situation, sort of like how some people like to collect stamps or play Monopoly. The latest example has been the outrage has been over the so-called “racist” name of Washington’s NFL team, the Redskins — and Native Americans are crying foul.
In reaction from white Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s proclamation that the team name of the Washington “Redskins” is suddenly considered racist after more than seven decades, the Washington Post Editorial Board, Phil Sims and Tony Dungy have decided to ban the word from their vocabularies. Some Native Americans are speaking out in favor of keeping the Redskins name, claiming that it honors their heritage.
In a new video released by Redskins Facts, several Native Americans strongly object to those who are pushing to change the Redskin name.
Megan Yellowhorse, of The Navajo Nation, said the Redskins logo “shows a strong warrior, and our ancestors have always taught us to be strong and be proud of who you are.”
“The Redskins name, it’s always been a term that we felt was a unifying term,” said Mark One Wolf of the Chiricahua/Apache tribe in the video.
Wade Colliflower from the Chippewa Cree Tribe is insulted by those pushing for the name change, saying, “They’ve never asked Native Americans. It’s somebody else who knows nothing about us trying to speak for us and it’s kind of an insult.”
It’s typical of liberals to decide to force their political correctness on the rest of the world without ever caring to find out what the people they claim to be speaking for actually think. Good for these Native Americans for standing up and refusing to let these race-baiters exploit them and their heritage.
