Yes and the difference is the NAACP is an organization founded by Black Americans, for Black Americans, and remains as such in 2014. Therefore, Black Americans have had discussions and will continue to have discussions about the relevance of the name at the time it was founded and today. There is no need for protest or trademark dispute.

If the Washington Redskins was founded by and for American Indians, either the name would have never been used or issues with the name probably would have been handled many years ago.
