Chief Illini Dead at Last
The weaselnews blogger is from the cornbelt so this ongoing travesty of clinging to a really offensive,
racist and historically irrelevant white-boy-chief sports mascot gets a mention here.I've heard of this campus Greek tradition of dressing in blackface and lampooning blacks back when the U of i was a virtually all-white institution.
So now there's film of it here - at the 500 Year Hate Crime site. Scroll 1/3 down to
"Black face University of Illinois students mocking African Americans."
The white student body, the white "townies" and the white Chief Illini boosters from the business class seem to have NO concept of what the image conveys. The idea of the plains Indian regalia clad white Indian immitator jumping around and doing tricks for sports fans is an embarassment.
