ScottM Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Dani @xodanix3 7m @CrusadeR_KHolm dehumanization leads to violence. http://twitpic.com/dk6uq5 Dani @xodanix3 9m @CrusadeR_KHolm drunk stereotypes create stigma which perpetuates rape culture. This is the reposne I guess logical reasoning isn't her strong suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Again, if you want to do a story at least put the "Correct" facts in your blog post. I don't recall UND ever using this logo. I am not defending the kids with the tasteless t-shirts but at least get the facts before you write your story. The shirts were emblazoned with the the old Sioux mascot — a Native American "chief" figure — drinking from a beer bong along with the heading, "Siouxper Drunk."

cberkas Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 So now there's a Sioux Per Drunk twitter handle. Sounds like Gary Marrowbone III is tired of Ruth Hopkins and her supporters blowing this out of proportion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cberkas Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Dani@xodanix32 hrs Increase of human trafficking & sexual violence in ND with oil mining. #siouxperdrunk stereotypes will make native women a target. Dani@xodanix33 hrs 1 in 3 native women will be raped in their life but u think its funny to perpetuate rape culture w #siouxperdrunk stereotype. #walkforchange This is quite a leap, don't you think? So it's UND's fault for the human trafficking and sexual violence in Western North Dakota? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 So it's UND's fault for the human trafficking and sexual violence in Western North Dakota? Not hardly... Unless they're connected to the Drug Cartel out of Mexico. U.S. Attorney Tim Purdon said North Dakota — and particularly the booming western North Dakota oilfields — has become a target for organized crime, as shown by an increase in drug arrests with close connections to gangs and drug cartels. Prostitution arrests also have increased, though in most cases no immediate line has been drawn connecting the women arrested to pimps, gangs or others who may have forced them into service.

siouxjoy Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 If it is true that the people who designed the T-shirts only wore them for a photo and not to Springfest, then the people most responsible for spreading the hateful images were the ones who placed them on their blog, Facebook, spammed my and other UND employees emails, contacted the news media, planned a march against hateful images and the Sioux logo, etc. How ironic.

darell1976 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 http://www.uni-watch...mascot-history/ Today’s Marquette players and students weren’t even born when the team was last known as the Warriors. Yet students still wear “Indian” headdresses to games and chant for the Warriors. Many still want to see the nickname changed back, though I think many aren’t fully aware of the insensitivities of the history, nor does the university want to reopen old wounds by going over all of that again. The most reasonable claim made by those who want to see the Warrior nickname brought back is that it could be used without any reference to Native Americans, much like the Golden State Warriors have done. However, the history is strong, and I think the university knows the connotation will be hard to ever remove. I also think there’s a large segment of fans who are fine with the current nickname, although they’re not as vocal or visible as the ones who want to go back to Warriors. Could you imagine if at the REA students wore headdresses to games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ironic, but if you are a UND employee then do the right thing and raise the red flag about these people who are slandering the university and these kids. Tell your boss. Get out there on twitter. these people are blatently lying and something needs to be done. Edit: Send the harassing emails to the news media as well. Make it known that these people stepped too far.

CMSioux Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Grand Forks Herald has a story that claims the shirts were "spotted at Springfest a local festival popular with UND students." I emailed the reporter and asked if that was a confirmed fact as I too had never read of anyone seeing the shirts at the community event, not held on UND property and not sanctioned by UND. I also think they should stop referring to them as students as that also alludes a connection to UND which appears not to be the case. If these stories were accurate they would read "A group of young adults posted images of themselves wearing t-shirts that could be considered racist toward Native Americans. The images appear to be taken at a private residence at a private party." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girls abducted in Nigeria to be potentially sold on the trafficing market, the story you mentioned above and numerous others one could cite but a frickin' t-shirt leads to the rape of NA women, causes tribes to be rampant with alcoholism and everything else that afflicts them in a bad and hurtful way.
