Its so nice to see all of the stupidity and racism on these comments really proves who wants these mascots, its just for whites and non natives to show they're still the big man HA
I am Native American and Black American and i have meet other full blooded Native people at Pow Wows. And i was surprised to find that they liked the Washington Redskins. I don't really think it is bad. Having a team are something like that is of the highest honor i believe. There are not many symbols of Native people around today. I don't want my people forgotten because we are first and true Americans. Mascots good.
@tuskachata What's so wrong about mascots as long as they do it with good taste and respect. I don't see it as being bad. But people can make some thing look bad and sound bad.
Redskins is in good taste? Chiefs? (you ever been called Chief because you're NDN?, it's not cool). I don't like them and I think any NDN who is down for mascots is punk'd out by amerikkka.
@nativemrv19722 sure u did, hey lets have some pics of lynchings and white on black violence with some sambos thats wat ur approving of period, and if u think that these cartoons and this bullshit r the only things that remind white people that my kind r still here, man u r full of as much shit as the others
@lion3p0 Your full of shit . A football team are college team have no barring on race of people. Vikings are white from Sanidinavia. And leeching of blacks from your white people have nothing to do with it. Only thing is this teams are owned by white men! The very onces that took lands and enslaved blacks and other races including there own for money. ! Weak and cowardly people. So you don't know what your talking about to me.
@nativemrv19722 hey asshole remember it was my boys who hid u from the white slave masters remember that and vikings were an occupation considering there were vikings from russia, normandy, siciliy and all over europe, viking i just a word for raiders its not exclusive to scandanavain peoples, do some research about these dip shit if
@lion3p0 Bottom line is Vikings is WHITE man. And you didn't hide me from any white slave masters either. I a m related to the Cherokee tribes. They had slaves but didn't beat and kick them around they married them. Bastard!
@nativemrv19722 No, Seminole peoples, and countless other peoples hid slaves and freed them, i hate the fact that the cherokee's did and i find it despicable, but they were the mostly white mixed blood aristocracy, but i think we need to have a conversation thats alittle more calm and collected on both our parts, but be weary my paitence is thin towards mascot supporters
@lion3p0 If i upset you then i am sorry. I first thought you were a white racists are some one trying to push my buttons which i will not tolerant . I run into many crazy people on youtube. And it is hard for me to see anything wrong with mascots. Your own tribe has a team, a College team named after them. I just love my Redskins and have meet many full bloods in my area that like them to. My view is you can't please every one.
@nativemrv19722 no i went off a little half cocked, love ur team but not the name ir the bad it represents, imagine that being a black man and it says N****ers if that would give u a better perspective, its the racist white people who use these, im not Seminole but i grew up near the oklahoma Seminoles, who oppose FSU and so do many florida Seminoles, its the negativity the names and alot of fans cause, not the team itself
@lion3p0 Well some people are aways going to be jackasses. You can't worry about them to much. Because if you focus on them to much you give them power over you. The way i see it. Every one isn't going to do the right thing. A nd lot of whites just don't now how to respect other people. They came here from England and just started building house like no one was here.
@nativemrv19722 no duh lol ik but as indian people we gotta fight these sterotypes that they forced on us to give themselves more power and control, these mascots and logos r just continuations
@lion3p0 Good agrument, but this teams make lots of money and without major support from every one they aren't going to get rid of them. Some little schools will but not the big boys.
@nativemrv19722 and thats a sick part, they dont care becasue they're making money from it and they will when more people hear the thruth and get the right facts and fight back (legally) the schools r all over and soon the big teams will too, its like slavery, the racists wanted to keep that becasue they were getting rich off non white labor, and free labor
@lion3p0 And if i remember correctly your tribe voted to keep the Seminole name with the School. I myself will not change my view on this matter. The only mascot i have a problem with is the Cleveland Indians mascot. He looks like a joke. With me as long as it is serious looking mascot i have no problem with it.
Hannity on another vid you claim to be German so what is it? You piece of crap. You enjoy being represented by a drunken Leprochon, thats great that your so lame you except that. However I don't like 500 years of rape, theft, and murder to be laughed about and used for white peoples selfish ignorant racist entertainment... I'm going to make a team called white america and our mascot is going to be a fat diabetic eating a cheeseburger.
change them, and these stupid ass generations r just as bad as the previous because they're letting this happen,causing it and r too goddamn stupid to care, and i honestly doubt that the REAL irish like the fighting irish mascot and i mean real irish, not no accented,assimilated 50th generation white american s
All so callled native american mascots should be changed. Or here's another solution. In our tribal colleges we should change our mascots to "The Niggers", "White Trash", "The Wet Backs" or how about "The Zipperheads"... How does that sound to some of you folks that have Native mascots??
Well I am a native and I think that school a school mascot is supposed to be a symbol of respect and courage. Teams choose mascots like tigers and eagles. I don't think is racist I think it shows respect for the culture. Yes does involve entertainment but you don't choose a mascot of something you consider to be weak or inferior. As far as the end of using black stereo types as reason seems silly. Those images are of black people being used as slaves and being stupid.
...internet bashing is childish. back on the topic....to some is pride, to some isn't. but all ethic backgrounds have logos all around. irish, native..you name it.
Acually thats a lie, its only Irish and Native's who are used as Mascots, NAME ANOTHER one more plese? The Irish are white people they don't understand meaning behind sarced things.
How would you feel if after the 9/11 muslims populations said to us Americans sorry about 9/11 but don't worry we wanna Honor you. Than they made a team called the Pittburg PALE-FACE who was white as Snow and he held a Cross and was waving it aronud like crazy? How long do you think that would last in America?
Dealz ... We've been over this in other places... Scots are a race... Trojans WERE a race... Dons are part of a race (kinda like "Chiefs")... Vikings represent the warring tendencies of their race (like "Warriors")
(continued) Instead............ why don't you (if you have children) take your child when she/he turns 8 years old, take them to some boarding school and leave them for a year. All the while: slapping the shit out of them for speaking english, EVERY time they spoke (make them learn another language), deprive them of their own religion (and getting the shit beat out of them for praying), bathing with other kids with no hot water. Just for starters.
okay....im native myself. and i have no problem with it. that video doesn't have a negative side. without the exposed symbols/images and history, us natives would be like a ghost to "HISTORY". i mean swap the native images to a Pittsburg Steelers symbol. do you think the steelers would call it offensive cuz their symbol is everywhere on shirts/cars and so on. ...i suppose having native movies are to exposeable to you right? fine...lets ban making movies about us.
hey nokturnal, you are a complete idiot. why don't you go to a powwow near your area throw some of what you're saying around there. Ask some elder what they think about this stuff............on second thought, nevermind, because you're just going to ask a person who is just as stupid as you. Instead......................see if these kids would like to be "honored" by the same people that committed these atrocities.
The "people who committed these atrocities" are all dead. Please don't pin the sins on one generation on all generations to follow. This won't solve anything!
Ok aussie, yes, those people are dead and gone. Yet, today's generation refuses to even acknowledge that there is a past to how this country was overrun, where the name redskin comes from. You have a homeland, as does every other race of people, except us Original Americans, this is our only homeland and the race that overran this land chooses to denigrate the original people so freely as if we weren't here. Quit using Indians as mascots! that will solve this.
Did I read that right? Stop using Native American mascots and everything will be ok? You (personally) will no longer accuse me of attrocities that I had NOTHING to do with? AND Native Americans will suddenly feel as though we're all on equal ground? Shontz, do you represent all NA's in saying this, and does this mean that as a white person, I'll also have the same rights as you? Idea:
Why don't you talk to Haskel INU about changing their mascot, and setting the example!
Thats funny, I have bever heard any of this. Show me a poll that has a majority of indians claiming it is offensive and then come talk to me. o any survey run by indians doesn't count
When the NCAA surveyed all 500+ federally recognized tribes, 99% of responding tribes asked that these race-based team nicknames be eliminated. Over 110 organizations, including every major national and regional American Indian organization, have adopted resolutions opposing these race-based athletic practices.
In a survey by Indian Country Today, 81 percent of respondents indicated use of American Indian names, symbols and mascots are predominantly offensive and deeply disparaging to Native Americans.
This is not racist at all. Sports Illustrated took a survey of native americans and found that 12% found them offensive. All of u who are crying about it, r makin your race look bad.
@illini222007 but they refused to show any of their data or facts and the other polls showed the exact opposite and has been refuted multiple times u fucking idiot
I see a chief as being a strong leader. A Warrior is a strong fighter. A tribe sticks together like a team. To me its honorable. Thats just my opinion. I can see how some of you think its offensive but I just dont see it that way.
could they not find a hot Indian babe to tell us how to think rather than this cro-magnon beast?
