Native American Indigenous Coalition Filing FCC Complaints Regarding Derogatory “Redskins” Name
Brave #ChangetheName protestors at today’s game in Indianapolis.
Members of Eradicating Offensive Native Mascotry (EONM) began an event today during the Washington “Redskins” and Indianapolis Colts NFL game that is sparking FCC complaints against the derogatory term “Redskins.” Here is the link to file an FCC complaint against the offensive and derogatory term: http://apps.fcc.gov/cgb/fcc475BConf.cfm.
You can hear the game online here: http://www.espn980.com/ and it is also heard on FOX network WXIN (Indianapolis). So far Jacqueline Keeler has been diligent with documenting the below times she heard the “R*dskins” obscene word during A.M. Pacific Times. Keeler is Navajo and Yankton Dakota, and this woman warrior was the first person to file the FCC complaint against this derogatory term.
As a Chicana activist, I take into consideration how the derogatory term of “wetback” is used against us here in Arizona. I never understood why the bigots refer to the indigenous as “wetbacks” because we are actually native to this land before genocide and Manifest Destiny. In fact, we weren’t the ones who came here on the Mayflower boat. Therefore, we stand in solidarity with our Native American brothers and sisters in an effort for Washington to eradicate the “Redskin” name and we are filing FCC complaints and hope to send reinforcements to our Native fellow men an women. We implore Xicanos to file an FCC complaint here: http://apps.fcc.gov/cgb/fcc475BConf.cfm
