Sad isn't it.

I normally park in the north lot but the last two series (because I'm late coming in from out of town) the lot has been full and I parked in the south west parking lot.

Why? Why does there have to be 'forseeable tensions on campus'? Why blame the NA students for what the tribal leaders are doing? How many of those students are Sioux? Why can't those students be seen as just students many who don't give a rats a$$ about the name and logo? Why can't they just be students who are attending UND for an education? Why do they have to be labeled at all? Are the 'tensions' going to be directed at all NA students? Is TJ Oshie going to be ostracised because he's NA? Are there going to be 'tensions' directed at him? I don't understand why there's the mentality that the entire NA student body will be or should be blamed for the loss of our Fighting Sioux name and logo. I don't understand why the entire NA population is being lumped together as welfare cheating, federal government leeching, second class citizens. I've read here that many know a guy who did this or that on an Indian reservation and the NA community was too uncaring to change for the better. Well you know what, I've done a little Google search and found that the majority of serial killers are white males and the majority of pediophiles are white males. According to the mentality of some, this means that all white males are serial killers and pediophiles. Stupid is as stupid does.

Don't tie it in with the name and logo. Federal money allocated for whatever should not be funded in perpetuity. I agree with assessing the effective use of the money but don't tie it in with the name and logo.

Why do you want me to list what I find racist in this thread? You don't and won't find them to be. I'm not trying to win anyone over who is posting in this thread. I'm posting MY opinion which is mine to post. You don't like it, you don't agree with it and nothing I say or do is going to change that. Please, point out where I use the "racism card" because I believe the UND NA programs should not be eliminated because we can't keep the Fighting Sioux name and logo. The "racism card" is being used by those who believe they should be. Don't put that label on me just because you don't like my position. AND what the hell does this mean, I'm been very clear on my 'contrary position'. Your 'cute' Jackson-Sharpton' comment only belittles your position as 'not racist'.

I hate the settlement. I hate that we are held prisoners by Sioux tribal leaders. I hate to lose the Fighting Sioux name and logo. I do not blame the entire Sioux nation for the loss. I do not believe we should get rid of Native American programs at UND. I do not believe the the entire Sioux nations is comprised of drunks, druggies, low lifes, etc. I take offense when an entire race is judged on the actions of a few. I call that racism. http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/racist 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

If you can read behind those green tinted glasses I suggest you read this thread.

I have spent the past year working on the Navajo reservation and now am on a reservation in SD. I've seen it ALL. I see Native American health care professional working in the same ER as I am. I see Native American educators working in tribal schools. I see college educated and self educated Native Americans giving back to their communities. I have only seen 'losers' think that educated NA's are 'too white'. The majority of the tribes' members are very proud of those that have 'made it' inspite of all the crap on the rez. AND I've seen all the crap that goes on there as well. Because some fail, we give up on all the rest? Not me.

The three blind mice are on the ice and I'm not one of them. The day I keep my mouth shut when I see something I believe is wrong, like racism, is happening/sounding like, etc. is the day I die. So thanks for the offer but no thanks

The majority, if not all, the NA programs at UND are federally funded. The University of North Dakota will be the one who loses if it does away with the programs because, I believe, they get a share of that money. As I said in another thread, we don't have Native American programs so we can keep/use the Fighting Sioux name and logo. We have them because our institution is in North Dakota and it's the right thing to do. We offer Native American programs so NAs can get an education, so they can shed the cloak of 'victim', so they can move forward. Hopefully, they go back to their reservations and help fight alcoholism, promote health and education, and stop the vicious cycle of 'us against them'. I think we have to look at this issue in it's entierty. We know that the majority of NA's do not object to the name. The current tribal leaders are the one's shoving their personal view points down the throats of those they are suppose to represent. This thread is sounding very racist to this member. '...stop the vicious cycle of 'us against them'. This goes both ways folks.

As you say, I have been on the board for awhile. If I have something to say, I'm gonna say it. Kicking a dog when it's down isn't my thing and I'm going to let you know I don't like it when you (plural) do it. So, Cowboy up and take it (my posts) or ignore them. 'Cuz I ain't going no where.

Jonny Gets the Shaft!!

Jealous? The majority of the fans loved it when he did them. How many ADs really get into the spirit of a FB game? I have consistently said, I don't know how well or poorly he did his job. I do know he seemed to be a big fan of Fighting Sioux Sports. I'm sick of all the back stabbing, "I heard from ..., that he.... the coaches, etc". Show a little class, quit pi$$ing on the grave and just let the man go.

This is part of an email I received from a Cardiff Devils fan. That's our boy!!
-
I think he also said he was the water boy in the Sconnie bench during the 1982 water bottle incident! He was very afraid of Archibald!
-
I listened to the announcers on FSN and I thought they were very complimentary to our team and program. NOTHING like the Goof's homers! As others also noticed, the young guy had a definite man crush on Oshie!
-
Check the video thread, it's all there! No, we don't lose anyone next game.

Aw what the heck, I'll post this here, too. http://www.uscho.com/news/college-hockey/i...ndedforIncident

Cool. I bet I'd see lots of fights at that school!!
-
I'm kinda bummed that it didn't play out.
-
Today is a good day to be a Fighting Sioux sports fan!!!
-
Shhh, Dirty's on line. Don't wanna get him jealous. Dirty's is the ultimate Oshie man crush!!!

I love the Sconnie's young announcer. He said only good things about the Sioux all night long; over and over again, all night long. The other guy was complimentary as well. I think if I were a Sconnie fan, I'd be pissed at how complimentary they were to our boys.
