The cover page one the Mukwonago Chief Newspaper brought many opinions to the topic.

“Sports Logos an Insult to Aboriginals” is an essay explaining how professional sports teams use Indian symbols. Aboriginals find it very offensive when sports teams adopt their cultural icons. The writer uses examples such as Cleveland Indians, Washington Redskins and Washington Redskins to portray an image of how these icons have been use. Augustine states that the use of these religious symbols or spiritual leaders as sports logos is offensive. Also, this leads to children to be victims of racism. It can be argued that people feel Aboriginal people should be honoured that these imagery of Indians is being used. Augustine argues back that no honour lies
Currently, many professional programs are being urged to change their name due to controversy over offensive mascots and/or names. A few teams being targeted include the following: the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, and the Washington Redskins. The Kansas City Chiefs have not been receiving negative comments regarding their name, but will most likely persuaded to change in the future by virtue of how offensive the name and mascot can be. Even though many professional teams with controversial names are receiving most of the negativity, some major universities are beginning to have problems with their mascots. For example, people have recently began to disapprove the mascot and other racial symbols that the University of Mississippi use during athletic events.
In the same way, Logos is seen when it is revealed that in the year of 2005, 7,163 bias incidents were recorded by the FBI. Cose logos to reinforce the idea that the grounds surrounding lynching are unfair and biased.
Let us take a closer look at the Major League Baseball team, The Atlanta Braves. Over the years the team has changed their logo, but one thing has remained constant, the overall concept of the mascot. Today’s logo is displayed with the word Braves with a tomahawk directly below. During games, Braves fans band together to perform what is known as the tomahawk chop, where they cat as if their arms are tomahawks chopping through the air all the while chanting as if they were Indians. This is one of the many ways that the Native American is imitated in a negative may as if being mad a mockery of. Another example of how the American Indian is mocked is how not only are they the only culture to be portrayed as a mascot, but they are also one of the only cultures to be portrayed as a logo on tobacco an alcohol. The chewing tobacco, Red Man, as well as the alcohol brand, Firewater, use the image of the Native American as well as use the slang given to degrade the culture. Each of these franchises have furthered what the early films have begun and not only degraded the culture but made it to where the culture is a non-existent myth that is hidden away on reservations.
Other logos cited as offensive by the ADL include the Swastika and the "Blood Drop Cross" of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
In the article she mentions a KKK/NeoNazi ralley in Charlottesville. In the 6th paragraph she says “...the likes of former KKK Grand Dragon David Duke walked the streets of Charlottesville with other white men, talking about “taking their country back”.” This quote can infer that this is a bad thing, and it’s not right. Later on in her article she says “It’s time to do our work. It starts just like an AA program: The first step is admitting we have a problem. I feel that her use of logos was important because she uses the term KKK referring back to when they were racist along time ago, and how bad they were to other races. It supports her argument because she wants to show what's happening and what's wrong with

Dating back several hundreds of years ago, Native Americans have been deprived, dehumanized, and demoralized ever since Christopher Columbus and his men came and seized the land from the Indigenous Peoples. There have been many tactics that have been used to strip the dignity of the Indigenous Peoples, but the use of an American Indian sports mascot is one tactic that has been in effect since 1932. There are some supporters of these various American Indian sports mascots such as Dan Snyder, the current team owner of the Washington Redskins, that do not feel that these sports mascots have any negative connotations. Dan Snyder may have had a few points when he wrote his letter, but he fails to realize that the American Indian Sports Mascots are

(Thesis) As the basilica represented the shift from Romanesque architecture to Gothic, Abbot Suger introduced new techniques that transformed cathedrals to look more spacious and “heavenly”.

The essay “Common Themes and Questions about the Use of ‘Indian’ Logos” by Barbara Munson answers this question as well as many others which one might have. The article states that “‘Indian’ logos and nicknames create, support, and maintain stereotypes of a race of people. When such cultural abuse is supported by one or many of society's institutions, it constitutes institutional racism” (Munson 624). The depiction of Native Americans as brutes is stereotypical and untrue. While the school of organization may not be directly attempting to create these stereotypes, they are created, and they harm the Native American community. The term “Indian” is also incorrect and offencive as it was created in the belief that Native Americans were from India, which they are not. That is not the name they call themselves. As stated by Munson, a Native American, “We are known by the names of our nations” (Munson 625). Since they do not call themselves “Indians”, neither should others. It is disrespectful to use any name to refer to someone than what they wish to be called, especially when that name is tied to disrespectful representations of their culture. One should not misrepresent or degrade a group of people even if he believes that it causes no real

In my last writing journal, I talked about why people like Donald Trump are so popular. Since then I read a CNN article in which they interviewed people at Trump rallies and asked them why they supported the man. My takeaway was that these people are afraid of change. This is actually pretty obvious if you think about the last word in Trump’s campaign slogan. Trump wants to make America great again. The “again” implies that we’ve lost something, that we’re not as good as we used to be. Obviously a lot of people won’t agree with my belief that change, as a whole, is almost always a good thing. I believe that if we are creating change then life will get better. Change doesn’t always lead to improvements in everyone’s lives, but, collectively,
