I have no issue with the name change. My issues is with comparing redskin with the n word.

This is petty, and pointless. So what if it is, and so what if it is not? How does this help native americans or black people?

there is no such thing as an orignal native, they have been banished from this land, blacks have been welcomed tho so it's different

I agree with most posters here...if native americans want it changed then change it. White people did enough to them where I think they can have 1 freakin name change considering their right is to much more (lands, minerals, etc.)
But I do think the main offense is how they're betrayed by fans. A bunch of white people painting their face red or with war paint symbols, doing the war cry, wearing traditional head dresses and running around with foam tomahawks like its one big joke. And the "red" term comes from a lot more. Red ******, dirty reds, etc. and I recall reading "redskins" was also in reference to the actual skin of natives that was presented to collect bounties for every dead native back when they were battling.

Being in a positon to agree with Don Lemon makes me depressed

Why does everybody feel the need to piggyback off the black struggle to make a point? I don't think anyone is trying to have a debate over what term has been more offensive over the course of american history, but the term redskin is clearly racial and insensitive to American Indians....why can't everybody at least agree on that?
this is like Jews getting offended when black people used terms like African Holocaust. Unnecessary chest thumping.
