Here We Go Again
During the westward expansion of the United States the
government decided in the latter part of the 19th century
to assimilate the "native population" into the newer
"western culture".....Traditions and language were to
be not taught and any heritage to be lost.....
For the past century the American Indian has been able
to reestablish its traditions and language (along with a few
casinos).......
Now, here comes the Political Correct crowd, that says that
the use of an Indian name for a sport's team is insensitive
and demeaning.....Seems like they want to get rid of
the Indians again, just like their great grandfather's did....
History does repeat it's self.....Pumps
