This #@!!&%*%$ is what Indians still have to put up with


http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/05/12/1298869/-This-is-what-Indians-still-have-to-put-up-with?detail=email

this is what those tea party indoctrination camps and their evangelicals and mostly their parents are teaching their kids readying them for the world, but what kind of world one more vicious and radical than this would?  believe it will evolve and ratchet up the hate and bigotry as time goes on they will find other ways to practice what they have been taught.


In [the photo], non-Native UND students are wearing shirts that say ‘Siouxper Drunk.’ Beneath it, a stereotypical ‘Indian head’ reminiscent of the retired Fighting Sioux logo is pictured drinking from a beer bong. What followed the post were a string of comments from understandably infuriated Natives, many of whom were from the Spirit Lake Nation, the Dakota Tribe located closest to the UND campus.
Dakota, Lakota and Nakota people comprise the Oceti Sakowin (Seven Council Fires), also known as The Great Sioux Nation. Oceti Sakowin were called ‘Sioux’ by their enemies.
The UND Fighting Sioux logo was retired after the NCAA concluded that the race-based mascot was hostile and abusive toward Native Americans. This decision was based on numerous complaints, affidavits, and an abundance of evidence collected over the years that proved the mascot was not only offensive, but detrimental and contrary to NCAA policy.
being taught intolerance in a world that will depend on it to survive is just setting up their kids for a life of hate and alienation of themselves, some will slip through but in this age on internet nobody gets a free ride for long.  do these parents claim they love their kids or do they love bigotry more, enough to pass it on?  if so many deny the mantle of racist they know it is a minority mindset so relegating their kids to their past is okay with them, where's the love?
