What about the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Shouldn't somebody ban that offensive name?

The native peoples of the United States have basically took it up the a$$ from the white man. The so-called "Indian Wars" were basically an ethnic cleansing carried out by the US Military. Not pretty stuff with wholesale murder the order of the day. Now in times of more civility I am not surprised they take offense to the names of their tribes and rituals being demeaned. How would you like it was the Atlanta "Christians" instead of Braves? What if the mascot was a charactature of a Bible fanatic and people waved plastic neon crosses around to "curse" the opposing team?
