    Sioux on satellite?

    in Men's Hockey

    Posted

    hey Sioux Fan in Denver, did you get your system up and running yet. I live in denver and I have tasked myself to pick a motorized system and buy it this weekend so I'm wondering if it all worked out for you with the system you have?

    The Install went pretty good had to call Sadoun and ask some questions about where to set the dish and motor elevations, but it's a really neat toy. Now I just need to find some good programs to watch til Oct. 5th.

    I have Directv and I don't recall having a problem with the college games being blacked out.

    They won't be, unless it is part of a subscription programming,ie, Center Ice or the Sunday Ticket. Only then do they blackout games that aren't sell outs and if it is on a local channel for you. I think, I could be full of it. :D

    Well that is kind of a bummer. Expected, but still a bummer. Thanks for 3 years TJ, in those three years you became my all time favorite Sioux! Guess I'm now a Blues fan by default.

    This thread was started because a Native American wrote a letter in support of the Sioux name and logo. I think it's time to revisit it.

    Sorry if I was the one that threw this conversation off its course, but those who live in glass homes.......

    A few things:

    1. I'll repeat myself again: fourwindsboy cannot be a racist. He's not white. Any anti-white statements he makes or has made is just his lashing out rightfully at the harsh oppressors of his ancestors. I find that laughable because I'm technically first generation American so my ancestors never knew Native Americans even existed while back in the Old Country of Eastern Europe.

    2. Siouxfan in Denver - Are you arguing against fourwindsboy? If yes, then, yes, you are a racist.

    3. Chewey is right. When life holds me, Jews, or Christians down, we pick ourselves up and try to right the ship. If we were wronged along the way, we correct the wrong by attacking the person or company that performed the wrong. We have to look at things rationally. Perhaps there is something we did to provoke it. Why did I lose my job? Was it because I'm Jewish? I have lost jobs in my past, but in no way was it because I was Jewish. I somehow doubt many who are a minority would see a white guy firing them as not a racist move. I have been told to my face that I am going to Hell because I'm Jewish. I have been told that I (not the Jewish people) killed Jesus Christ. I have been told to my face that the Holocaust never happened. I've heard people say the phrase, "Don't Jew me, pal." Well, so what? Those people were idiots. I will not hold an entire ethnicity, nationality, or religious organization accountable for the actions of those idiots. The Native American activists can't seem to handle that idea.

    We do not hold an entire race or country accountable for the actions of one company or the actions of a few representative of a country who are A) no longer in power and B) long since dead. For example, I do not plan on attacking blond haired German nationals over the Holocaust. Racism is perpetuated by the victims of it. They cannot see that the actions of a select few are just that, the actions of a select few. They hold the entire race responsible. They hide behind their perceived oppression to the point where people who may be distantly related to those who were oppressed feel themselves having been oppressed. How many black people alive today know slavery? The truth is, they don't. Their great-grandparents or great-great-grandparents might if they are still alive, but they don't. A great example of this attitude in black culture is this R&B/Hip Hop singer Rhianna (I think her name is) who claims Gangsta rap doesn't exist and wears an ak-47 necklace to represent the Black Panther movement's violent tendencies. I can find more direct quotes if you want, but there is NO WAY IN HELL she was alive for even a portion of what the true Black Panthers went through.

    I never owned a slave. I did not participate in driving Native Americans from their homes. I have never chanted any derogatory remarks towards any Native American or minority persons, yet I'm lumped in with the entire ethnicity because I'm Caucasian. Well, so be it. Better to be a racist for false pretenses than a holier than thou bigot who cannot see his or her own flaws despite him or herself.

    You're alright for a Dead Wings fan, as I sit here in Denver and watch the Aves lose this game too.

    I'm not racist. I have many friends who are caucasion. I work with caucasions. I admire and respect people like Einstein, Robert Devries, Bobby Knight, Dr. Seabloom and Dr. O'Rielly at UND. I have met many people of different races who I respect. I just feel very deeply that it's time the name be changed. I do not feel honored by the Fighting Sioux nickname. Actions speak louder than words. You say you are honoring me but would you give me the time of day if I asked for it? Let me tell you a story. About 10 years ago I was goin to Bismarck for a meeting. It was in march and the temp was in the 30's. About 5 miles past Steele my pickup gave out. I opened my hood had the flashers on but no one stopped. I walked 5 miles back to Steele without anyone giving me a ride on the interstate! Now I obviously look Native American but come on. Why wouldn't anyone give me a ride? How many of you have been to a rez? Have you ever been in the home of a NA? There are alot of contradictions in this matter. No answers either.

    And chewey, you don't know what he was trying to say. Why do you automatically defend his statement? It's a downright ignorant statement and you know it.

    No Chewey pretty much said what I tried to with my limited vocab. That is the exact point I was trying to get across.

    PS one of my dearest friends is an Ojibwa(is that spelled right).

    Not at all.

    Remember, any minority acting anti-white is just voicing pent up aggression towards the oppressors, the whites. It is perfectly acceptable to be Anti-White. However, if White People were to argue against these statements, THAT would be racism.

    It's how things go.

    I'd even go as far as to say that the Reservations could hang a sign saying "All White people are racist pigs deserving nothing more than the slop pigs live on" and there's nothing we can do. If the City of Fargo or somewhere posted a sign saying "We don't want any more poor people. Move here and get a job or don't come here at all" they'd get blasted.

    It's why I laugh every time I hear Jesse Jackson talk about racial equality. It's a pipedream. There can not be racial equality as long as race is an issue with either side. I don't see African-Americans laying down the race card any time soon. I don't see the Native Americans laying down the victim card any time soon either.

    I'm 99.9% positive I'll never see racial equality in my lifetime. I'm pretty sure none of our children will either.

    Did you just call me a racist? :glare: That is kind of what I was getting at, rasicm only exists because people of all colors let it.

    Why doesn't "sticking it to the majority" not make sense? You know what bothers all of you about the nickname being changed is that you will have lost to the "Indians" on this matter. And most of you just can't come to terms with that. Think about it, after kickin our a$$es for so long, you'll finally lose one!

    You are racist.
