I don't want to ban the word from usage on television, I want to ban it from usage anywhere, in any context.
Um Carl, aside from the obvious constitutional and legal problems that would arise, how in the hell would this be enforced?
Obviously I didn't mean a literal ban on the word that would involve, like, jail for people who use the word. I'm talking about not using the word ever unless it's to say "the team used to be called the Redskins" or whatever. Using it as an adjective to describe people, essentially, is what I want people to stop doing. Basically, I want it handled the same way the n-word is handled. White people shouldn't use it unless it's in a historical context, but black people can use it because it's
their word. If Natives choose to use the word "redskin" to describe each other, so be it.
