HAHAHAHA!!!!!

So your saying that wearing a UND jersey promotes Dakota culture? 9/10 caucasions who are UND fans wouldn't know Dakota culture if it hit them in the face! Nor do they want to know. All they care about is the logo/name and don't give a rats a$$ about NA's. By the way, the name is still going to be changed regardless of the vote results at SL, bank on it.

Remember, there will be 2 new council people and maybe a new chairmen in June and if you these are opponents of the name then this issue will be brought up again. This issue isn't gonna die peope until the name is changed!

In my 5 years at UND, no one ever thanked me for letting UND use the name nor did I feel one bit honored in my time there. I did though, experience more racial prejudice than I care to recount. You know, only about a handfull of SLT members have gone to school at UND, and pretty much all of them are oppsed to the name. I wish all of my brethren could spend some time on campus and get a feel for what its like to be an NA there.

I guess I was surprised considering the shoddy treatment of NA's in DL. Every response I have heard about the landmark from SLT members is pretty much just a shrug and a feeling that its about time DL does something considering about 1/3 of the their revenue comes from the rez(oops, can't use that word, offensive!), SLT.

Just curious, how was it educational?

See this is what bugs the hell outta me. If UND has been honoring the "Sioux" all of these years by using the nickname then why didn't they hang these flags along time ago? Why wait until now when we are in the midst of all this controversy? All you nickname proponents from SLT and SRT can't you see you are being used for propaganda purposes by UND so they can impress the NCAA? I can see it already: UND to the NCAA- "Look at these pictures of all the happy Sioux children at the UND hockey game". Shameless! Answer me this: When UND has to change it's nickname, how long till the SLT/SRT flag burning ceremony?

Of course they don't all agree with me and I never claimed they did. It's just funny that just because someone disagrees with your stance on the nickname then they are "brainwashed".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You sleigh me!

None of the individuals who will be attending this propanganda show will be acting as an official of the SLT.

I don't consider it derogatory. Next question.

If your'e suggesting DL put that up at no cost to the SLT you are wrong, sir. The SLT paid their share for it.

Come on we're not a bunch of ignoramous'. The tribe flag hangs on almost all entities on the rez. You should come to the rez sometime you'll find out.

2 things jump out at me. 1. If UND was sincere they would have done this decades ago! @. All this is, is a public ass kissing. How low will UND stoop?

You see people this is why you don't report a racial incident. And none of you will ever get it because you will never be discriminated against.

I don't know if those are Native Americans and I'll bet that picture was taken pre WWII when no one stateside knew who the nazis where.

You know what's scary and chilling about this whole issue is you people are making excuses and rationalizing that these things aren't happeneing at UND and they are! That sends a chill down my spine. Wow!

I could feel the bullseye on me so I'll reply. You all think I'm an A-hole, which is fine with me as I probably am. But I can tell you all honestly that this subject has never been discussed in any of the classes I teach, NEVER. Whether or not you beleive me, I don't care. I Know the truth and thats all that matters. I also have never discussed or brought the "Stick it to whitey" mentality in my classes, again if you don't believe, fine. Unfortunately, the students are bringing that attitude with them from home. They and their parents/relatives have had experiences that are shaping their attitudes toward caucasions. We have, on occasion, discussed race relations and the message I try to give is tolerance and mutual respect. I take my job very serious and know my responsibility in molding young minds. I have also never discussed this garbage with my own kids. Hoka.

I aggree with everything except the first paragrph. There is a huge difference between the Nazi's and NA's. Hope you can see that.

I already have enough ammo, thank you. Now I'm just havin fun and you just can't help yourself.

OK, he apologized and it wasn't proven. I spose you beleived "W" when he said the Iraqi's had WMD's, also. WOW. MT,BSW.

So he has a gala at his casino to celebrate the Nazi's and he isn't a Nazi lover? Am I missin something here?

Startin to feel better now? Thats it, get it all out. I have way, way more self esteem than this forum can take out of me.

Sticks and stones, baby!

The medal of honor was way over due. Question: why wasn't the Roughrider award given sooner? Sounds like whetther or not he received the CMH, he still deserved the RRR.
