Mayor Gray To Skins: Change Name

Again, Gray seems to be deflecting attention away from his own problems.

His campaign staff makes the Nixon Committee to Re-Elect the President look like an 'integrity in politics' organization.
 
Ok Ryan I'll bite...they had their land/country stolen from them and what happened long before that? Where are the ORIGINAL natives of that land? Answer: dead, wiped out, or absorbed through conquest by other tribes. The original natives didn't have red skin dominated by tribes coming up from the Southwest and Central America. They looked like Inuit and had brown skin with eyes that looked more Asian than Sotuh American/Spanish. They were all destroyed via conquest by OTHER INDIAN tribes. I get so tired of that incomplete and erroneous argument. The implication is that the natives that whites displaced were the original "natives' and that is flat out false.

And really, you've payed more taxes than most white Americans? Based on exactly what? Hyperbole can be an effective device but sometimes it's just silly...like here. I guess I am out of the loop too because I have yet to hear a single person complain about Indians living on tax free land or owning Casinos. That's an argument that was probably common about 100 years ago, but 2013 not so much.
 
Next we'll be getting into Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons, Homo Sapiens and Australopithecus

Come to think of it, we might have the makings of a pretty good team with that group.:yes:

One reason why there's so much to-do over the Kennewick Man among Indian tribes. No genetic ties to any known North American Indian tribe, which pissed them off (and no-doubt worried them) to no end.

The Umatilla tribe in the Pac NW tried to bogart the remains, more likely to hide what they really were rather than bury them as their own.

But I digress...

we need some more neanderthals on the offensive line, big uglies with a loin cloth and a club with lots of hair on their backs :laugh:

the excuse that there were other natives before Native americans is pretty weak, you have some sources for that? There are many tribes of native americans, some that came from the bering strait (supposedly) and some who came up from the south, the fact is they were here for thousands of years before white people. your grasp of history however is rather weak as is your grasp of the genesis of native americans, it wouldnt account for the Dene Tha of the northwest territories speaking an dientical language to the navaho, or with the plains cree of the northern US and Canada sharing DNA with mongolians AND south americans. odd.

yes I paid more taxes than most white people because during my life I have made more money than most people, thats not hyperbole, thats fact, in Canada we pay more based on if we make more, ergo if I make well over the average amount per year, I paid more than most white people. I hade several years where I made 6 figures in the oilfield and in the security profession and now I make around 75-80 k a year, approximately 45% goes to taxes. whats the average income in the US? in Canada it was about 35k last time I checked. the only Indians who don't pay taxes have to live and work on the res.

about the tax free stuff and casinos, maybe read back in the thread a few posts.

so because we are winning we should change our name? **** that.

sounds like they just found a way to get attention again. they can go back to their tax free lands and money making casinos and cry about it for all I care.

changing our name means more than just the logo..it means changing the song too. and Ill be damned if Im cool with that.
