It would be like a Africian-American living in DC and seeing the N word on t-shirts and hats.
Now when I say this im just giving a different point of view. I know Redskin fans respect and honor Indians. We all wear our Burgundy & Gold in pride. Im happy we won another case that lets us keep the name Redskins, logo, etc. Im just giving a different point of view from the other side. If I was a Indian I would probably be offended in todays society seeing the word Redskins as a team of a US Pro Football Franchise.
I know not all Indians care about the name but I can understand the other point of view of the Indians that do.

To be quite honest with you I live in the outskirts and see "African Americans" as you put it walking around with T-shirts with the "N" word on it. Frankly what upsets me more is the "African Americans" who walk around calling each other the "N" word. The word is either offensive or not offensive and either everyone can say it or no one should. Being white I take pride in telling those individuals that the word offends me and to please stop using it.
