The term "Redskins" was never intended to 'Honor' Native Americans...and 'Tomahawk Chops' are just as repugnant. Time for a bunch of Non-Native Americans to grow up and start showing respect for this long abused race of fellow Americans.
-----------------
Anita Whitworth, 62, also belongs to the confederation. A mother of five who worked for years as a chemical-dependency counselor, she hates the name.
She views it much the same way that many activists do. They argue that the central problems ravaging native communities — poverty, violence and addiction — can only be fixed if young people take pride in who they are.
Her youngest, Whitworth said, is a dark-skinned 13-year-old who attends an almost entirely non-native school in a region long plagued by racial tension.
When she looks at him, Whitworth thinks back to the years of disparagement she’s endured.
She has seen store employees follow her because they suspect she will steal something. She has heard derogatory comments in restaurants.
She has also been called a “Redskin.”
“I don’t want to ever have my son experience anything like that,” she said. “It’s time to change. It’s time to move on.”
