Not only do they know nothing about it, they could care less as long as their desires are met. peace_5

That's B.S. I know plenty of indigenous friends that I play hockey with in Sault Ste. Marie that have know issues with the term redskin.

What he says is bullshit but what you say is gospel, weird how that works. You know that what your Indian friends say to you might not be what they say behind you're back. an_wink

The following is what I know cupcakes. Liberalism stole the name of 'Redskins' from the NFL franchise in DC! Prove me wrong.

The following is what I know snowflake, the term redskin is a derogatory term used to demean indians and like all the other ones used for a lot of peoples of different nationalities has slowly been inching their way to the trash can. You see Sundance its a matter of respect, if you have any black friends I bet you don't call them person do you. No if you really wanted you could go to the library and read some books written by Indians about what was not taught to you in school.But I suggest you hurry before the freedom of speech crowd ban them because it doesn't cast a good light on white people and may hurt their snowflake feelings.

@Biscuiteater1

Only a dumb American like yourself Biscuit would call an indigenous person an Indian. an_roll_laugh

Indigenous and Aboriginal are considered more politically correct than Indian when referencing Indigenous individuals as a whole. an_light

Many Indigenous people I know in Canada prefer not to describe themselves as "Indians" and view this term as rooted in colonialism and racism.

Biscuit, I suggest you go to the library and do some research on Indigenous and Aboriginal history to reeducate yourself because you're not as smart as you think you are. an_slap

@CanadaCup

Well at least i'm smart enough to know that what Cakes said and what you said can both be true while you on the other hand deem it to be bull based on your experience with a few hockey players is an_roll_laugh now go ahead and ask your friends if they would prefer to be addressed as Indian or Redskin(s)

Thanks for understanding about these ready to trounce on anything and anyone that makes a post trolls.

Why does a Montana senator care about the name of a football team on the other side of the country? This is what's wrong with our government.

Guessing he knows who votes for him? I would add why does anyone feel this strongly about the name of any sports team. peace_5
