"in this white man's world..." indians have been tryin to get the skins to change their name and mascot for as long as i can remember to no avail

Sure did.

And no racism over here but the "White Man" has taken advantage of every race possible from black to Indian to the Chinese and Irish. But they have too much MONEY now for anything for many of us to do anything about it.

We live in a country where money > anything!

Their culture was destroyed and nearly erased and their people were raped and killed by Christians that now wear a uniform with a viking visage on it.
