To the logo picture , I don't think there is a problem with the redskins logo, just the name itself needs to change.

if they were smart they'd change it to the Red Tails, could keep the same colors and not be a daily sign of disrespect to native americans

No, it needs a rehaul totally.
If they were the Washington Sambos with this on the helmet....
would changing just the name be acceptable?

Is see it different, this is clearly a stereotype and offensive nd insulting in nature. The redskins logo is not that but more a historically accurate representation. How many movies with indians to you see mimicking the look of the redskins logo, quite a lot, how many movies or shows of involving black people of the era look like the picture you posted ?...none. Thats because of it's clear offensive nature.
And that's what people like you don't get and understand, just because it's not insulting to you as a non Native American doesn't mean that it isn't to actual native Americans. Telling another group what they should and shouldn't be insulted by is privilege at its finest.

You got it all wrong, it's not about privilege, they can change it the logo for all i care. The name is a slur and more the concern, some don't see the image as offensive. It's not as if the image is a caricature of some sort meant to focus on the bad. We don't hear complaints about it in other areas of media when used, it's more so the combination with the name and reluctance to change that's the issue.

Let me ask you something. You don't see that guy as a plant? It was all good in the 80's, now in 2015 America is trying to be politically correct to the point the average person doesn't even think. Let me tell you why the name shouldn't go. The name cannot be a racial slur because native Americans created the name, not the racially oppressive Caucasians
White people want people to feel like they are ugly if you not white. Why else would Redskins be bad? Just look up the origin of the name, look at the Redskins name used in reservations and then DON'T IGNORE THESE FACTS. Try to understand that the white man deemed it a dirty name, not the other way around. And it was deemed that because a white person in the past had beef with a "Redskin" and the rest became white history. The whitewashing of history applies here Coli 
They didn't invent the word nikka either. The most dominant tribe in Africa is (or was) called the Naga tribe. The origin of the word was never taught to African Americans so the man teaches it to be something to be ashamed of. Ugliest word in the English language they say 
Back in the slave days "******"was just the name that was used. It wasn't used as a racial slur at first. Why/how could that be unless there is truth to what I'm saying???Africa must wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob...

Bruh, you are a victim of 400yrs of conditioning. Even your conditioning has been conditionedNo, it needs a rehaul totally.

As I have posted many a time here, When the Africans taught Asia about Henduism, the Buddha statue was named Samboa (sambo)
This is 30,000yrs ago, but its not FORGOTTEN HISTORY. Just history not taught in America. They'd rather teach you about Christopher Columbus
The sambo you see is really just African Art breh. Little Black Sambo which is a story that angers African Americans who don't know their history, is basically the story of Jesus Christ. Only difference is he doesn't look like a bearded white dude. So it gotta be bad, right 
Once again, its easy to find the truth if you just go right to the origins of things. The whitewashing of history has any minority hating themselves (Redskins 
) I hear black folk still trying to bleach their skin/etc. Now, with all that said. There will be people who will turn something into a negative. There is a white person in the universe who might say "I hate ******s, I hate black people, I hate dark skin"That shouldn't erase all history before that hatefilled commment tho should it?
Your right and wrong at the same time bruh
This is the beef right here.... You have any group of people acting like another group of people and it usually will come off as offensive to the group you are imitating unless you go out your way to NOT be offensive. IF the white man for instance was trying to make a documentary on something, it would be somewhat accurate. If you talking about Hollywood movies that are made for entertainment? And in a time when this country wasn't really about human equality? Then you couldn't expect the depictions of others to be up to par As time passed, its just the mere fact a white person is depicting a culture is where the problem lies. Another example is Liz Taylor playing Cleopatra, most African Americans don't know much about her. But we can all recognize the "whitewashing" of history when they had white folks play these roles. Native Americans feel the same way about white people using their likeness PERIOD. Fast forward to today, and just like how African Americans have been taught to hate themselves, naga's and sambo.. Redskin is not whiteskin, so its bad. Who said it was bad first tho 
As for black people looking like Sambo's, there are tons of movies with that bruh. WHite people would dress up as sambo then do a shuck n jive dance. Basically they was "c00nin" around. At the end of the day, that is not a reason to denounce our history, but that seems to be the go to move in America...
If someone makes fun of your culture, distance yourself from it altogether

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
That's a good point tho. Do Natives find the logo disrespectful? Serious question, not the fake outrage @Rekkapryde is talkin about
