I’ve been following the story, being just a bit west of Marshall. I think, honestly, some white folks of that area think ‘Redskin’ and they think of a romantic image of a proud, fighting people. That’s what they say on camera, anyway. They also put out that angry- white-guy-tired-of-being-told-what’s-politically -correct-vibe. But I honestly think they’re idiots, to be blunt. Just take a look at all old Western movies–‘Redskin’ is always used as a slur for those who had to be killed by the end of the picture. I think we should ask if it’d be okay for, say, some urban Kalamazoo or Battle Creek school to use the name ‘Rednecks’ and have their mascot be a white guy with a mullet, a pinch of chew in his cheek and a Marshall Redskins shirt. But that still wouldn’t be the same, since the people slurred were not killed and/or driven off their land.
