The first time I met the African-American man who played the part of a racist Native American character, he called me a fool. I called him an embarrassment. It went downhill from there.
The encounter between myself and a man named Zema Williams was brief, lasting literally seconds. He was known as Chief Zee, the man who proudly sported one of the most disgraceful mascot uniforms ever. After a game in Washington, if I remember correctly, he quietly approached me.
"You the guy always criticizing the Redskins name?" he asked.
"I am," came the response.
