My friend, I am so glad to see some White eyes opening in my lifetime. Can you believe this racial window of awakening we are experiencing? While I’m not a big football fan I know that naming your team the “Redskins” is a middle finger shot to the Native Americans”!  You good  Old boys could not have picked another name? How about Washington “Coons,?” Washington “Wet-backs”, “Washington Queers?” Don don’t get me started!
