NCAA to take on politically incorrect flags

[squeaky]

The NCAA, coming off it's successful campaign to rid America of polically incorrect mascots,
will now focus on banning events in states that are connected to confederate symbols.

Thank God we have these crusaders at the NCAA looking out for us!

From the article in the above link--
Robert Vowels Jr., head of the NCAA's Minority Opportunities and Interest Committee, said his group received a request from the Black Coaches Association about widening the ban. Predetermined postseason events, such as basketball regionals and cross-country championships -- are now barred from South Carolina sites.

It seems only appropriate that this movement to ban events in South Carolina,
lead by Mr. Vowels, should be known as the Vowels Movement.

A problem exists in this endeavor: Every European, Asian, African, North (and South) American nation has a history of slavery. Even the Alaskan tribes practiced it. And the USA, before the civil war, had this "Institution". By extending Mr. Vowels thinking, NO BB games can be played anywhere!

Next, I want them to take on Euro-centric bashing. There are a lot of Irish, Scottish, and Norwegian folk that are quite upset with some of the mascots!

After that, Latino-centric bashing must be banned! I am offended by the Matadors, Lobos, Torreros, Aztecs and every other association with Latin America. Save America from this oppression!

You did hit one nail on the head, albeit a very politically incorrect nail to even mention.

History does indeed prove that some of the MOST HORRIFIC atrocities, slavery, genocide, and the like have been committed throughout the eons by the very people who today are projected as the innocents and victims.
Tribal genocide and atrocities in Africa, North America, South America, and other places wiped out millions.
Entire North American tribes vanished without a trace and their few remaining peoples were dragged off to slavery.
There was even cannibalism which you won't hear much about today, but it's been proven beyond doubt by the bones that have been found of people who had their marrow cut and scraped out for food purposes.
Even the majority of tribes who are granted the distinction of being "Native American" actually came from somewhere originally other than North America and took the land from the other people who were there before them.
I know this is a terrible non-politically correct thing to discuss, so lets see if the mods allow it to stay??
