King Kaufman's Sports Daily
The Cleveland Indians minstrel show: Fans painted to resemble the outrageously racist mascot are shown without comment in the mainstream media. Enough.
By King Kaufman [2007-10-18]

  • thanks

    Thanks King for using the right word, genocide.

    Naturally it's a point ignored by those who insist there's nothing wrong with blatantly racist caricature...how hard should it be to show a little sensitivity to a people that were damn near (intentionally) wiped off the earth?

    GENOCIDE people! C'mon!! Show a little class!

    A teacher of mine in high school told me something that has stuck with me ever since:

    If you're going to celebrate your nation's exploits, you have to also take responsibility for its transgressions.
