Jeffkills Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Sadly, my 100 year-old highschool macot was raped and murdered just recently... Goodbye, sweet prince... To honor the death for all us Braves out there, and hell, in celebration of all those past or present mascot deaths out there, let's post some cool maschot shit! I swear, what was that totally ridiculous mascot with the police cars and criminals on that video of a rally from @k5james?? Like "the criminals" or something. My Dad's mascot was the Salmon Savages! He wore full head dress and everything. What's sad is how these offended natives don't seem to care that by eliminating these "racist' mascots, they're really just further eliminating the remembrance of their cutler and heritage from the cavity of our consciousness. But then again, it's not very racially PC to have strongly-remembered and understood conception of a one's ancestry; God forbid we actually celebrate racial diversity by acknowledging the various differences between us. Nope, let’s just all pretend were a mixed race of GooBacks... BTW, remember this, once things are deemed racist, or otherwise inappropriate, all information related to those things is systematically eliminated from the internet bigtime. Accordingly, our greatest informational tool is systematically censored literally and effectively, which only mean that various ideas, images, videos, events, allegations, facts, etc., become forever purged and removed from human access... Because info = power, I suppose stealing power from humanity's biggest information tool is a pretty essential move - if you want to stay on top, anyway... Censorship is theft - literally. But don't worry, as long as @mugtang achives this thread, anythig you post here related to a mascot you love won't be totally stollen from the internet.... Just to be safe I guess I'll leave these here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meister_Rebel Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 What new mascot is your high school going to adopt going forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffkills Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 So apparently, a white transgender man, with no racial affiliation with native americans spearheaded the change via a Facebook page! Of course, that's just the gossup I've heard from fellow Braves.. That's just totally mind-blowing to me... Facebook, Google, Youtube, and the other mega-golems are robbing our informational stores. In the name of racial sensitivity? Yeah right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping the s, the Indian portrayal, and I presume, they'll be tossing the stone in the garbage too... I gotta say, I always felt "brave" being a member of the Braves, but I guess when you combine two brave people from the same school, you end up with a potential threat.. I denounce this change and everyone who helped impliment it - all of you are to blame with the ills of modern society.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the positive side every time they play the national anthem and the lyrics sing out with the part " and the home of the brave" you can sparkle with pride.

kingpotato Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I can't disagree with this post enough. This was a student run effort and it was them who wanted to change it. It was a great teaching moment that the administration listened to their voice and empowered them. They were able to leave their mark on their school. The compromise was changing it to "Brave" was brilliant, as they basically keep their identity. Anyway, I don't come here for political discussion, so I'm done with that. If we're talking about great mascots. Coach Pete's high school mascot is hard to beat. The Yuba City Honkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfmanhalfbronco Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Been pretty mixed reviews with Alumni. One member of the Nez Pierce I know who lives on their reservation here in Idaho told me he found it offensive how much back patting North End Boise residents were doing about it. "I have never once had a conversation about that high school until this became a thing, nobody on the res gives a shit". Others I have seen on social media that belong to the native community are applauding it but it seems they mainly live in Boise. There are two opinions I would like to hear. @DestinFlPackfan and @youngrebelfan40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a problem with schools using Native Americans as mascots. The terms, Chiefs, Braves, Warriors are out of respect. IMO. And as Jeff mentioned, in a lucid moment, it keeps history alive. I agree with your Nez Pierce contact, nobody does or should really care. I'm going tag @Jeffkills again for a follow-up question on this post. Jeff, is your alma mater just dropping the 's' from braves and/or are they changing the Native face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
