Divide & Conquer The media and the Redskins organization have attempted to make the Redskins logo issue simply a Native American issue - in essence, 'it is (probably) offensive only to (some of) them (non-whites we classified as "Native").' This is racist deception. In a white supremacy system all non-whites are niggers (in the absence of white supremacy niggers would not exist). [MORE] The only purpose of race is to practice racism. The Redskins logo along with other corporate brands that minstralize non-whites demean all persons of color. The effort to divide "minorities" into fractional (and frictional) groups is a response to white people's own numerical inadequacy or their for real, minority status. White people are vastly outnumbered throughout the world.
"The white "race" has structured and manipulated their own thought processes and conceptual patterns, as well as those of the entire non-white world majority, so that the real numerical minority (whites) illusionally feels and represents itself as the world's majority, while the true numerical majority (non-whites) illusionally feels and views itself as the minority."[MORE]
From [HERE] One of the main criticisms of the opposition to the name of Washington’s professional football team, at least one propagated by name defenders like ESPN’s Rick Reilly (photo below), is that the efforts to change the name are driven largely by white apologists who aren’t in touch with the Native American community. That isn’t and hasn’t been true, but as controversy over the name has escalated to new heights this year and as the media has taken a new interest in amplifying complaints against the name, Native American groups are renewing their fight and shaping the argument in new ways.
The Oneida Nation is one of those groups. It has aired advertisements in New York targeting NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s support for the name, protested outside a Green Bay Packers game against Washington, held a conference in D.C. opposite the NFL owners meeting, and will air radio ads in Dallas during Washington’s game there this weekend. The National Congress of American Indians, which has long opposed the name, is now joining the fight in a new way, releasing a white paper this week that details its long opposition to the use of Native American imagery in sports and the discriminatory history from which those names arose.
The white paper also attempts to shatter another one of the central arguments in favor of names like “Redskins” and logos like the Cleveland Indians’ Cheif Wahoo: that changing them is nothing more than a political correctness issue and that Native Americans face far larger problems than a football team’s name or a baseball team’s logo. Citing research from sociologists and psychologists, NCAI’s white paper explains that these names and the stereotypes they perpetuate has harmful psychological and societal effects on Native Americans, a population that battles higher-than-average rates of suicide, alcoholism, depression, and addiction. From the paper:
