RACE For What It Is
Edward James Olmos gives a very interesting and enlightening speech on “race” at the United Nations. They were there to talk about his hit SciFi show Battlestar Galactica.
I agree with the idea that we will never get rid of racism until we stop referring to “race”.
Have you filled out your 2010 Census yet? For all the “programs” that the US Government has on fighting racism why do they keep perpetuating the situation by forcing you to choose one?
UND Logo Suggestion
I read a local blog called the BismarckMandanBlog.com. The author has some interesting views on issues and I especially like his comments on the UND Fighting Sioux. His latest is a suggestion of changing the nickname to the UND Valiant White Men. In his words: “nothing could be more "hostile" and "abusive" to the PC crowd than a white guy.”
He also has several other articles that refer to the UND nickname:
- Another "hostile and abusive" logo spotted in Bismarck – ND State Highways are “hostile & abusive”
- "Hostile and abusive" logo discovered in Bismarck-Mandan – ND State Patrol are “hostile & abusive”
- University AD apologizes for UND’s presence at their tournament, Clint gets quoted by Dartmouth Review – Dartmouth College Athletic Director appologizes for the UND’s “offensive and wrong” nickname. Read his response on this one, it’s really good.
