The Purge of Indian Symbols





The NCAA continues on its warpath to purge any Indian symbols from college sports. The most recently causality was William and Mary who just recently changed their Indian symbol to that of a griffin.

Indian symbols were originally selected by many universities as a way to pay homage to the bravery and warrior spirit of the Indians. No one wants to have a mascot that does not reflect positive qualities. As such, choosing an Indian as a symbol was a high form of flattery and respect. This holds true not only of Indians but of other ethnic groups. For example, the Vikings and the Fighting Irish are symbols that are meant to honor, not degrade, people of Scandinavian and Irish descent.


The ultimate irony is that the extreme politically correct crowd is actually excluding all references to other ethnic groups save for Europeans. Of course, they are too stupid to see what they are doing. But it is amusing.

Violence In Chicago

President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student. In the stories linked below, all the victims happened to be honor students.) http://www.smmirror.com/volume3/issue23/samohi_honor_student.asp http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2005/09/27/BAG4OEUD661.DTL http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79459073.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_progun_senatordesignate_gillibrand_shoul.html Link to raw video: http://www.myfox
