Well, you are not expecting anything new, then, are you? Because you already perpetuate a hostile and abusive environment. I have had black friends that have told me that "at least in the South, they are all outright racist to your face...here, they just smile and then stab you in the back." I agree -- I have seen racism at its worst. You folks are doing a good job of seeing to it that I see the most privileged side of ugly.

Oh that is ridiculous. You know where the harm is -- you and all of Grand Forks -- well, North Dakota for that matter -- have been told that it DOES HURT. If a child says, stop, that hurts, we all teach them to quit doing the thing that hurts. Since I have been hurt, over and over on this logo stuff, why can't you just quit bullying and give up that name? Also, my children have been hurt over it so that makes you all guilty of child endangerment, so to speak. If you have not heard about an incident directly related to the logo, that is because SOMEONE has covered it up. This is all logical reasoning.

It is proven fact, though, that it perpetuates the stereotypes that are already out there. So, what harm does it do? You all won't have anything to gripe about and get upset and obsess about? That is about all the harm done. It has also been proven that alumni support does not dwindle, but is heightened with a name change at a major university level. So, again, where is the harm? I suppose nobody will respond to the question either since I am such a "troll."

grow up -- no opinion is allowed to be addressed here except the racist one or what? Sick and elitist racists -- that is a new brand for me!

For the answer to that and other questions, all you need to do is look at all the forum postings under "Sioux Name" on this message board site. You guys are all sounding pretty hostile and abusive. Not only towards a race of people, but also towards issues of homosexuality, you name it!

OK double standards AGAIN! You don't want to be called an idiot or DUMB or told that dumb people SUCK but you can call someone a whimp for feeling like this whole thing is getting tiring? Or, you insist you are going to win a losing legal battle without what poll, survey or research study? Where do you back your facts up with? And...winning one injunction doesn't count. That issue was not at the heart of the case at all. UND has a big song and dance to strut before April's trial. I hope they lose, myself. I hope that every student at UND feels the brunt when tuition gets hiked to pay for a frivilous lawsuit based on economics, being racist, and plain stupidity. You all need to CHILL and quit attacking people personally. Because, when the tables are turned and YOU are the ones being attacked, you cry whimpering to the forum administrator to get comments removed. Hide behind your cubist minds and just tell yourselves over and over that you are right -- even when the REST OF THE WORLD sees how wrong you really all are.

TALK ABOUT HACKERS. U people suk because you are dumb.

AND UND HAS HOW MANY PROGRAMS AND THEY STILL DON'T GET IT? What is your point?

I am going to puke. If you think that is a great letter, you might want to go back to COMPOSITION 101

PS: they don't need a poll -- I refer you to the CURRENT UND INDIAN ASSOCIATION RESOLUTION in support of CHANGING THE NAME. That was a majority vote that passed with ONLY 2 Indian studenta opposing it.

I also think that, when Kupchella was entertaining the idea to change the name based on tribal resolutions, he had a different take on things and may have, for once in his life, been thinking clearly. Each and everyone of you know darn well that, when he said he was considering it and "how can we ignore the tribes' requests?" was unacceptable to you and he, in your meager opinions, was NOT A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH during that time. DOUBLE STUPID STANDARDS ONCE AGAIN!@

Horrible quote you mean. Where does Kupchella (aka KUPCAKE) get off trying to criticize a prestigious school like Dartmouth? He has tried to discredit his own graduate students before, so this idiotic statement does nothing for me, except prove just how blind North Dakota and its University System really is. What a load of garbage. I suggest NONE OF YOU have a clue!

Why is it that any time an American Indian states a FACT, they have to provide the white guys with a study, poll, or (inconsistent) survey to back it up? Perhaps this woman is "channeling "Dr. Stephanie!"" I have a feeling she would be proud of that fact. Also, where is your poll, study or survey that backs up your calling this woman an "idiot." I suggest you and all the IDIOTS in this forum look in the mirror. There is no bravery, intelligence or other type of showing that supports talking about people in forums when they do not have the ability to defend themselves. I see it all the time in here. That is why I finally signed up to respond to some of this bogus poo you are all dealing out in here. I see sports fanatics just like you guys -- closed minded, simple, personally attacking statements, from people with their own agendas. It does no good, I realize, to even write this, as you will all call me an "idiot." Maybe, what is really on the tip of your tongues is ......"Indian Lover." So what? Why is it not ok to love Indians but it IS OK to love the white supremacy that is the overwhelming representing group in this here forum?

I s'pose it is ok then to offer extra credit in athletic courses so that you can go see a hockey game? Double standards abound in this and other forums on this website.
