Besides, it's Obummer's fault. If he weren't just be so openly black, just rubbing real Americans' nose in it, they wouldn't have to be so violent. Reagan didn't act all black and that kind of shit didn't happen.

Grotesque. Reminds me of when students from my high school made and effigy of a lynching and brought it to a football game at an all-black religious school.

Bonus Racism: The coach of our high school girls basketball team came into my Spanish class one day to shoot the shit with the teacher. That evening they were playing a team from an all-native school. He told the class, "Everyone lock your cars tonight they'll be drunk on fire water when they show up."

I hope some punishment comes to that Ohio school.

Jesus Christ. I don't recall anything that blatant growing up. Even tho my home town had five reserves within 25 kms, when I was a kid few natives were living off-reserve and going to the public schools. Things have changed a lot since then—native migration into town, wealthier whites moving away—and I know that racism in general discourse has become more overt since.

It was rural Oklahoma in the late 90's. The school was 95% white. A kid was sent home for styling his hair into devil horns. Until some parents said something, the elementary had in-class afternoon bible study in the late 80's. My Social D shirt was offensive. Of course, kids were allowed to wear Confederate flag hats, shirts, and have CSA car tags.

Back to the original topic. This is what happens when Natives are treated as relics or kitsch. "They are all dead or on reservations what's wrong with having a team called the Redskins? "

Definitely. An ugly combination of dehumanization/objectification, past tense, and noble savage bullshit. It works because indigenous people aren't acknowledged as people.

On the plus side, a bunch of people who find Chief Wahoo to be just harmless fun are one game away from celebrating a World Series victory.
