re: Why are the Redskins getting so much heat?

I have never once hear anyone use the term Redskin when not referring to the football team.

That's because it's not a racist term.

I decided to do a little research. So, I took a walk into my office and grabbed the dictionaries from off of my bookshelf. They are from 1985.


I decided to see what the dictionary said about racist terms in 1985. Was the term "redskin" being re-branded as racist now-a-days when it was never a racist term before?

So I opened it up to see what the dictionary from 1985 says about different racist terms.

Notice how they very clearly state when a term is offensive.













Now, let's see what they say about "redskin":







This proves to me that the term "redskin" was never racist.

Only recently have self-righteous white people tried to re-brand the term as racist.
