"Black skin" is not the equivalent of "redskin." The exact equivalent is "n*gger." That said. The context matters on that too. Often enough it's a compliment. Agree or disagree on if it should be used that way, it is used that way. Not saying you are saying it one way ...

It's worthwhile to learn more about the "Native American Guardians Association," especially when people are trying to use its words to prop up an argument in favor of the name Redskins . It's a lobbying group founded less than a decade ago for the express purpose of "protecting"...

He is the greatest defensive player ...

Jimmy Hill played in the NFL for 11 years but beyond the fact he played high school football at Booker T. Washington in Dallas in 1946 the rest of his "biographical" story is really a mystery. First, his college is always listed as Sam Houston State and that he played there in the late 19...
