At every University of Illinois basketball home game since 1942, the student playing Chief Piss-On-Your-Grave dances around in full "engine" garb, inspiring the crowd. That era is now over.
Why is it over? Because Amerindians feel that it's offensive. I hope they were happy watching the Illinois faithful cry as they were stripped of their chief. What more do these Amerindians want? Haven't they taken enough from America? I mean, they've taken... um... well there was that.... remember when... Califor... how about the genoci... hmm... well I guess they haven't taken anything. In fact, Americans have killed them, raped them, stole their land, impoverished them, thrown garbage on the ground, and mocking them through sports teams.
A white dude dressing up like a caricature of a chief is just wrong. Why the fuck were people crying now that this dark exercise is over? I guess people cried when the minstrel show died. America is a fucked up place.
