Fighting Whities doesn't make thier point. It makes thier point moot. This doesn't offend, it's funny. ha ha

I did not hear ONE WORD of advice regarding self-reliance, education (other than as a scheme to funnel money to Indians), or anything else that might really be valuable. (Not from the speakers, anyway- I did hear these things from a very few attendees). It's sad what socialism has done to the Indians. For centuries they were very self-reliant, capable of living off the land and enduring harsh conditions but it seems now the majority are reliant on government handouts.

Isn't honkies the equivalent of N-----s? So that shouldn't fly You're right, but the "Hornies" didn't quite sound right, either.

Are there any teams out there using a confederate soldier as a mascot? I think the Staunton, VA high school mascot is the Leemen.
To: socal_parrot
Or the Hope College Dutchmen

My father played minor league baseball for the Atlanta Crackers in the 40's I'd love to see that mascot!
To: Jaidyn
Will all the games end in a tie so no feelings are hurt? Or will The Whiteys have to lose until the other teams get their act together?LOL
I'm sure that the whities will inevitably become the reason all the other teams failed. Eventually (as one other poster put it) rooting for the whities will have to be banned as a hate crime.
To: real saxophonist
The message is, let's do something that will let people see the other side of what it's like to be a mascot," Obviously their message was stupid and didn't work ----but these guys should continue because it sounds like they could make a killing on the T-shirts etc. It would be politically correct for whites to wear these shirts since the liberals will think it's helping to get the message out.

The only reason some people even remember the Aztecs or Mohawks, etc., is because they are memorialized today in team names and mascots. Of course, if the Aztlan crowd hates the San Diego State Aztecs, San Diego State can always claim the mascot of the old ABA team, the San Diego Conquistadors.
The Conquistadors sailed from Cuba to conquer Mexico and the Aztecs and, as a Cuban American, I promise not to be offended by the Conquistador logo.
Umm.....do you think that having blood dripping from the Conquistador's pike might be a little bit over the top?
To: real saxophonist
Sensitive little sissies. "Fighting Whities". Yep. We kicked their Indian and Spanish butts, now didn't we? I never could understand how any team would want to be associated with those loser Indians. We've been kicking their butts for over two hundred years. /sarcasm
To: TN4Liberty
The old Boston/New England Patriot on the side of the helmet was white, but I think he was gay. That crouching wink always bothered me. LOL! Never thought about it until now, but I think you're right. Also, wasn't he about to catch or pitch?
To: real saxophonist, PhiKapMom
Hell, I LIKE IT! Now there are two whitey mascots; this guy and the U of N Cornhusker. It proves the point that some of these people just need to get a sense of humor. Does this mean that MY school can have our original mascot back now? His name was "Little Red" and he was the coolest mascot on earth. He was banned by a Federal Judge back in the early '70s.
To: real saxophonist
LOL! I want my team mascot to be "The dumpy middle-age White guys"!
This is a beautiful thing! Celebrate diversity!
"We're going to open up a barrel-o-gelatinous whupass on you!"
To: luvbach1
Yea but since when do we listen to them? Only the perverts in congress listen to crazy people.
