What is your issue with Native Americans? Savages????? That's an accurate term???? Do you not realize how incredibly racist it is to classify an entire race of people as savages because they didn't live in stone houses and own guns? Sheesh..I suppose you think that they should be grateful to be genocided by a much nobler race.
And then you conflate Redman with Redskin. Seriously? If you can't understand why someone else would find the term offensive, then you pretty much lack any human empathy.
If you read her post, she said this:
a people sometimes represented historically as savages--which was accurate in many cases
And she is correct. If Anne Hutchinson and her children who were slaughtered and scalped by the Indians and were alive today, and if the entire population of Deerfield, MA who were slaughtered by the Indians in a surprise raid and they were alive today, they would agree with her.
She also said "sometimes" represented historically "in many cases" which means she ISN'T classifying "an entire race" as "savages".
You shouldn't put words in her mouth.
