Semantics, I chose the wrong project name but the point is still there. That the Apache Nation doesn't mind is not important in today's culture, I know black people who do not feel offended by the term blacklist. I do not believe the term blacklist had any racial origins, until white people as

Yes, history is written by people, not one person. Nor should one person think (in my opinion) that they have a grasp at what will be perceived as the ‘wrong and right’ side of history while that history is still to be written. And last of all, such standing points should never be used to try
