Why does nobody point out that they called THEMSELVES “Redskins”, not because of the natural color of their skin, but because they would paint their faces red? I’m referring to the actual Reskins, not the football team. I swear, people get offended by shit because they don’t understand and misinterpret things. Sure, if you Google it now, all you get are stories about how racist it is because that’s the narrative they want to paint. Before all of this politically correct bullshit started it was understood where the name came from. It was something that was written about in books from the 1800s. It would be nice if people would learn to use actual sources for their information rather than Google and historians who weren’t alive at the time. There are actual sources that explain all this. A source is someone who was actually there. I have a library of books from the early 1800’s going forward. They are written by actual sources and contradict so much of what Google and politically motivated historians claim about numerous things. “Do your own research” doesn’t mean “Google it”. The Internet has made people lazy and easily manipulatable. I’m not saying I’m above it. I’ve fallen for the lies too. That’s why I started collecting as many books as I could that explain history from the people who were there when it happened.
