Native American group releases thought-provoking team hats image

Making it a bigger issue is ridiculous.

And another thing, they want to be segregated from society but then tell society how it needs to operate. They need to get offended more about the things I mentioned than the name of a football team that helps generate tax revenue allowing them to have tax free casinos and kinds of other free things they get.

Any reason why even care one way or another about the situation?

Well you know, changing generations of socioeconomic stuff is just as easy as changing the name of a football team.

That's why.

Dude... getting all Native Americans to stop drinking is nothing. Just reinstate prohibition on reservations. Much easier than having to change the logo and come up with a new nickname.

Because the PC movement is out of control.

And another thing, they want to be segregated from society on their reservations but then tell society how it needs to operate. They need to get offended more about the things I mentioned in post #16 than the name of a football team that helps generate tax revenue allowing them to have tax free casinos and kinds of other free things they get.

It's like standing in the soup line complaining that a particular brand of food hurts your feelings.

Change the name already I'm so tired of my intelligence being insulted by this being shoved down my throat as some major social issue. There is nothing thought provoking about an identity battle over the mascot of a football team. Have the people in this country become this empty? Of freakin course it's derogatory just change it and shut the hell up about it.

luhooooserrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Maybe they should change the Redskins to the ACC.

So nothing of real substances? Just a perceived threat to your world view?

Gotcha.

You should stick with one liners and poorly thought out analogies.

Goggled the topic and apparently many tribes are filling suits.

This is like suing Hustler for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome...




Tribe suing beer companies for alcohol problems

LINCOLN, Neb. – An American Indian tribe sued some of the world's largest beer makers Thursday, claiming they knowingly contributed to devastating alcohol-related problems on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

The Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota said it is demanding $500 million in damages for the cost of health care, social services and child rehabilitation caused by chronic alcoholism on the reservation, which encompasses some of the nation's most impoverished counties.

The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court of Nebraska also targets four beer stores in Whiteclay, a Nebraska town near the reservation's border that, despite having only about a dozen residents, sold nearly 5 million cans of beer in 2010.

Tribal leaders and activists blame the Whiteclay businesses for chronic alcohol abuse and bootlegging on the Pine Ridge reservation, where all alcohol is banned. They say most of the stores' customers come from the reservation, which spans southwest South Dakota and dips into Nebraska.

It will never end with them as long as we keep giving them money.

That's fine if they want to live apart from everyone else, but they need to learn to do it on their own and they need to get the idea out of their head that they can tell everyone else what to do.
