But, when you take a second look at this controversy problem, I for one realised that reading this article has many Native Americans on edge with people discriminating them, has turned into a heavily disputed arguement. The controversy shows how we represent Native Americans with athletic sports. All coaches, and teammates feel they respect Native Americans and honor the name by representing them as their team name or mascot. On the other hand Native Americans feel that their ancestors and themselves are being demeaned. To find a solution to this controversy we must look at what people say about Native Americans, and we must listen to what Native Americans take it as offensive or as a compliment.
Their peer-pressure, such as friends, parents and may even be teachers in their school. The bad history that they've experienced was the reason why they had such belief planted in their mind. They believed that the Tutsi made use of the Hutus and now it is the time for the Hutus to do genocide of the Tutsis. These things thus affected the people's view on the truth and explanations for it. Even if the Hutus are exposed to the real truth hat the things that they are doing are inhumane, they will still will not listen to the explanation and take the truth in a different spin.
According to the article, Native American mascots bring more negativity than the luck they are supposed to bring, “…(1) they [mascots] reflect and reinforce stereotypes, (2) they harm Native Americans, and (3) Native Americans do not have control over them,” (IMHTNA). Native Americans are already stereotyped against by having “red skin and feathers in their hair.” Seeing this exact image portrayed by many school mascots reinforces these stereotypes and keeps people thinking close-mindedly. However, it’s not just recently begun to be a problem; Native Americans were treated harshly back in the 1800s as well. The United States government was cruel to Native Americans in more ways than one, “The soldiers attack your villages and kill your women, children, and old people,” (Lakota). In many cases, the United States government had agreed and signed a treaty with the Native Americans, but then had broken the treaty soon after.
Then we have to show that we understand this. To fix this issue, I believe we must all emerge ourselves in the study of backgrounds. Learn about the ethical past of your neighbors. Non-Indian people may not be culturally aware that some cheerleading symbols, peace pipes, eagle feathers, war bonnets, and dances can be sacred to many American Indian tribal communities. Many mascots, logos, and nicknames represent stereotypical and racist images that demote American Indian people to a colonial version history.
Now days people see too far into issues and it simply just becomes an issue of wether it is politically correct or not. If Adam Goodes got booed because he was aboriginal, then every other aboriginal footballer would get booed yes? Adam Goodes is simply playing the victim and taking abusing his position as an aboriginal. If anyone disagrees with the conclusion that booing Adam Goodes is racist, they are seen as a politically incorrect and racist, as now days society cares more about what’s happening than why it’s happening. Most people understand that Adam Goodes is being booed, but they don’t understand why and therefore they hope on a prejudicial bandwagon thinking anyone that boos Adam Goodes is a racist pig.
His teaching could not be as effective because he neglected the influence the white members would have on the movement, by resenting them as a race, therefore handicapping his popularity and likelihood of success within the various white communities. MLk’s method prevailed here because he was trying to change the people as well as the law, Malcolm sought to fight but failed to realize that it is impossible to fight a war when the government and all other forces are behind you
Like they don’t make enough money in the NFL they need to sue over petty bull crap like they were back in elementary school again. There are so many more important things to worry about in today’s society then calling people names. If they are not calling each other the N-word than it’s about their sexuality and they use the F-word and other derogatory names I chose not to use here. This article also says that his own team mates consider him to be honorary black because he is considered one of them from being on the team for so long, it also says it’s a cultural thing that he can’t be honorary black because he has not lived in oppression like the black race has which to me is a discriminatory remark in itself because black people don’t own the market on being oppressed. People of all cultures have been oppressed at some point in history.
It is easy to see why their nationality has been seen as a symbol of strength and pride. They have survived being moved out and seen as outcasts in a country that was originally theirs. We see this as a sign of great survival. Native Americans have every right to be upset. Unfortunately, there are not any other nationalities that are displayed as a mascot, which makes it a difficult case to decide.
However, this really gets to me, as I have met both Iranians and Iraqi’s who are on fire for God meaning enthusiastic and loves him with all their hearts. Racism needs to stop in all areas of life. I may have a personal responsibility to society and to myself but for the reason there will forever be a struggle. “What happen to racism, to beliefs about blacks’ mental, moral, and intellectual inferiority, to the idea that it is the black mans’ own fault that is a lower-caste” How true is this when you prohibit me to
This is not right, or rational that people would risk so much in order to come to the United States, to work a job that most American citizens will not work. Yet we are hateful and mean, protesting, these people rights to make a living and support their families, if the work wasn’t here they would not come. Do you think the Native Americans like what happened to them, when the first generation immigrated to American, many Native Americans are still suffering the effect of the colonization of America. Published in the Huffington post a video “Native American Man Tells Anti-Illegal Immigration Protesters Who 'The Real Illegal Immigrants Are’ it goes on to say that a Native American man tells protesters “We didn’t invite none of you here. We’re the only Native Americans here.”(Ramos Z 2013) Are the Americans that don’t support open borders scared, because they don’t want what happened to the Native Americans,
