2001, November 10 - Sports, Racism and Violence. Evidence that they all swim in the same foul pool.

On Saturday, November 10, 2001, between 1:00-2:00 p.m., a racist note was left on our car in Sam's Club parking lot in Florence, Kentucky.

The car is a station wagan and has signs and bumper stickers that read "Frybread Power," "Honor Native Treaty Rights"—and "Indians are People, Not Mascots."

When we returned to our car, we found the following note:
native american stereotypes, native american mascots list, teams with native american mascots, native american mascots names, native american name controversy, native american redskins mascot, offensive native american names, Atlanta Brave, American Indian, Braves, bravettes, changers, change the name, cultural appropriation, Cleveland Indians, debate, ethnic identity, headdress, Illini, Indianettes, Indian mascots, Indian chief, Indian head, indigenous, indian mascots in sports, indianness, Kansas City chiefs, keepers, logos, monikers, mascot, Native American mascots, Native American imagery, Native American names, Native mascots, Native theme, Offensive name, Playing Indian, pocohottie, racial slur, Redskins, racist mascots, stereotyping, scalp, scalp ‘em, squaw, squawd, save the name, savages, stereotype, school board, school mascot, tomahawks, Trail of tears, tradition, totem pole, team names, warriorettes, war dance, war paint, warpath, war path, wannabes, war bonnets, wahoo, Washington Redskins, redmen, red raiders, red men,

I AGREE!
INDIANS LIVED HERE FOR 25,000 YEARS AND LOST IT ALL TO EUROPEANS IN A BRIEF TIME.

NOBODY SHOULD NAME A SPORTS TEAM AFTER THOSE FUCKING LOSERS LETS ERASE INDIANS FROM OUR COLLECTIVE MEMORY!
