That's fine that your school has a pleasent symbiotic relationship with the Miami tribe. That is not the case in other parts of the country. My issue from the start was the use of negative stereotypes such as the term Redskins. You can't convince me, or others, that it's ok to use that term. Just because some AfAms use the N-word to refer to each other doesn't mean that i'd ever use it. I'm sure there are other AfAms that are totally offended by that world and never use it either.
