If the Washington Redskins should change their name, shouldn't the NAACP?

Asked by josie (30934points) February 11th, 2014

The Redskins are currently under pressure from The Sensitive to change their name.

The alleged reason is because the term “redskin” is offensive to Native Americans.

On the other hand, the “CP” in NAACP stands for “Colored People”. Good luck saying “Colored People” in public anywhere without getting shot or fired. And yet, nobody is demanding the NAACP change their name.

What is the difference?
