If you ask most American Indians, they detest being called “Native Americans” and would prefer being called “American Indian.”

The NAACP, once again, is creating a problem that didn’t exist before.

Cancellation of the Lakota East High School play "Ten Little Indians" by school administrators has created a stir in the community.

The leader of the local NAACP said administrators, who canceled the play citing its violent content and racial title, made the right decision.


Both the school administrators and the leader of the NAACP are FOOOOOOOOOLS. Where are tar and feathering and riding someone out of town on a rail when you really need them? Is it any wonder in a society where so many are so afraid to offend someone that such weeds of imbecility grow in such rank profusion?

You know better than to use a “slightly modified” title.

This is as silly as calling the Muslim rioters in Paris ‘youths.’

Local NAACP President Gary Hines said the original title of the book can't be ignored, nor can the original book-cover drawing of a black man in a noose.

snip

Hines alleges the play is just a symptom of a larger problem at Lakota. He wants an assessment of the district and a diversity plan created in partnership with the NAACP.

Pretty sad when the race-baiters have to step in at a School named "Lakota" and stop them from putting on a play of The Ten Little Indians because they did not feel the original book title and cover were racially sensitive enough for black people!

The lunatics are making a strong bid for asylum management.

How about a play about feigned moral outrage by groups such as the NAACP?

I’ll bet the kids could have staged any outrageous play they wanted to, if it met the standards of the PC police.

Power is what is really going on, using the play issue as an excuse. The NAACP want to control the school and engage in liberal PC thought control. Simple as that.

Uh, if the play is staged on tribal land, the Nagging Activators have no right to object.
