The Sicatoka Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Quote I also acted partly out of what I saw as a high-minded desire to support a politically weak ethnic group. It felt like a token of penance for the sufferings imposed on Native Americans over the centuries by the continent’s European conquerors and their descendants. Just as others have said: (liberal*) white guilt. *Yeah, I'm assuming, but he is an editor for the Washington Post so I'm pretty sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petey23 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Dennis Miller 18 hrs · Thank you to the Native American community for verifying something I've believed for a long time! There's a big difference between a logo and having perpetual helpless mascot status forced on you by whiny liberal do-gooder pains-in-the-asses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is offended by this they are spending too much time looking for something to be offended by. Trump blew the joke though. It is Fauxcohontas Warren. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 If Tex Hall (et al) should have their knickers in a twist over anything it should be that Ms. Warren claimed to be something she's not. Ms. Warren attempted to co-opt Native heritage and culture based on her claim of Native ancestry based on "high cheekbones". <-- That's pretty stereotypical and racist right there. I'll worry about Tex (et al) right after they call out Ms. Warren as racist for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxperfan7 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 It's unfortunate this whole native american nickname ban in the NCAA didn't happen in today's messed up times!! If the NCAA came up with their rule about native american names and imagery, UND and the state of North Dakota could just hold a vote for people who identified as Sioux or native americans and they could have decided if they approve of the name or not. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the positive side, that will be one less glaring example of hypocrisy for the stubborn pro-nickname crowd to continue to rally around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I'd noticed that around parts of the state (Gwinner and Forman areas). And the westbound sign on I-94 for the ND 30 interchange is updated, but not when you're eastbound on I-94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiSioux Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Not sure where to put this but I am curious.... does anyone know if the bushes in front of the Ralph still spell out Fighting Sioux ?

A simple solution, move the game back to Cleveland or Toronto forfeits. Cleveland should not have to change anything on their uniforms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
