...wear white jerseys with the picture of a white man in a SUIT on the front and the slogan 'Every thang's gonna be all white!' printed beneath." OH---I am Sooo offended!!! Sounds like a cause for a class action lawsuit.

Haven't these kids heard about the Celtics, the Spartans, the Crusaders and the Vikings?
How about the Fighting Irish?
To: Jaidyn
You have helped me immensely! I have one more problem. My kids, three boys, are part Indian. Can they refer to themselves as Indian or should they use my ancestry which is an oleo of a little bit of everybody. Should I call them Mutts? Or Whiteys? Or Indio-Americans? Or should I just call them on time for dinner?At the risk of getting serious for a moment--
I would tell them that they have nothing to be ashamed of in being Indian or white, and that The race that's attached to them has no meaning compared to what they do and are as individuals.
That's what the real civil rights was all about. Not the dishonest neomarxist drivel that remains.

Hey, Luis, look at Post #223.
We're mascots. :-)
To: real saxophonist
I'm so offended, my feelings are really, really hurt. Devatated and distraught. I won't be able to work, somebody get me some food stamps and subsidized housing.

Re post 219:
I like 'Ritas.

"The Fighting Whities".....I like it! I like it too. It's high time we got this kind of recognition. Go team go!
To: Polybius
Now that's good humor.

Darn tootin, the law of unintended consequences is about to bite some multi colored butts.

At the risk of getting serious for a moment-- I would tell them that they have nothing to be ashamed of in being Indian ... It has always been my impression that Indians were chosen as mascots because of their bravery--not out of disrespect. By constantly railing on this subject they perpetuate racial differences which we should have been over a-long-time-ago.

Hate to spoil the fun, but the official name of the Basketball team at UNC is the "Bears"". I can't find anything on the site about the Fighting Whities. I do notice that they have a great Spirit Groups (pun intended) page at http://uncbears.fansonly.com/genrel/ncol-spirit.html. The school does have an inquiry page; maybe some intrepid Freeper will submit a question about how we flattered whites can obtain Fighting whitiey jerseys...
To: redlipstick
If you get an answer can you point me the way. My hubby wants to get some for him and the kids!!! I asked him if he felt "offended" and he said "H*l No , this is cool!!"

OKLAHOMA SOONERS
(yeah, the original '89 Sooners who stole a march on the Oklahoma Territory land rush were mostly white folks).
To: liberalism=failure
Can you get some Freeper to make a downloadable picture in Red, White and Blue? Someone could make a lot of money here!

A future Louis Farrakhan University will pick "White Devils".I'm sure they've already got it copyrighted.
Here are some more possibilities --
The Hay Seeds
The Fishbellies
The Flat Butts
The Ghosts
The Goobers
The Gomers
The Massas
The Wonder Breads
The Pastyfaces
The Palefaces
The Moon Crickets
The Rednecks
The Round Eyes
The Rubes
The Saltines
The Sh*tkickers
The Hicks
The Ahabs
The Albinos
...and last but not least --
The slave-owning, slave-trading, negro-lynching, negro-raping, whip-brandishing, whiskey-swilling, chitlin-eating, gun-dealing, tobacco-auctioning, tractor-pulling, sister-shagging, moon-shining, outhouse-sitting Trailer Parkers.
To: redlipstick
There's nothing on the school website. I've emailed the reporter at the Greeley paper and asked him if he can provide such information....

By constantly railing on this subject they perpetuate racial differences which we should have been over a-long-time-ago.I agree. I would only add that in this day, in spite of this "offendedness" nonsense, the only group that is expected and often even required to feel shame over their race, is whites.
I expect now that little owl's PC trickery has backfired these liberals will revise their plans and say how racist it is for anyone to root for the "whities". It's inevitable as the sunrise.
