And yet poll after poll always shows that the vast majority of people like the name and don't see it as a "Racist" name. Including the president of the 1st. nation people!

If this the only problem we have as a country...we have no real problems.
If any of you are looking for some extra cash, just join the protesters. The pay is really good..

Don't let this crap prevent you from watching Obama's dirty tricks. This is just another distraction to keep your attention away from the destruction of America.
Indians are from India not America. So why are protesters calling themselves Indians and not native american?
Why don't people assault these protesters?
