I posted a lot of ‘Fightin’ Whites’ articles back then. It’s funny to me that this silliness has come back up.

American Indians should embrace with pride the schools and colleges which select an Indian mascot, icon or slogans. They have always been good and wholesome images - “Go Seminoles”.

Soon they will only be known by their casinos

Names like “the Brown Bomber” or “The Big Hurt” are designed perpetuate fear of African-Americans among white folks, who, in turn, are inspired to over react with names like “Pistol Pete” Reiser and Carl “The Rifle” Furillo.

The establishment also seeks to maintain its elite status with thinly veiled efforts to perpetuate ethnic stereotypes. Who can forget the “Yankee Clipper”. As if all Italian Americans know anything about is how to give haircuts.

And what about Karl Malone, “The Mailman”. It really grates at us native Irish when one of our kind who makes it big in basketball is dismissed as a mere “mailman”.
