Racist?

A couple of weeks ago I remarked on the racist implications of the name NAACP but there is another race that has problems and they are the Native Americans. Now for years they have been protesting the fact that sports teams have used a people as a mascot and they are right. How would white people like it if there were the Florida Crackers or how would blacks like it if there were the Chicago Black Hitters? Also I take offense to the fact that they are still referred to as Indians. They aren't. Indians are people that derived from India. Just because Christopher Columbus made the mistake a couple of hundred years ago, why are they still paying for it. Looks like black folks aren't the only ones still needing to fight for civil rights.
