Episode 8: "Common Threads" Options

[NiCi]

I missed this post. I think the new incarnations are fine. As a kid, the only time I thought about it, I found that having an old fashioned pretend Aunt and Uncle on food boxes was cool. The Quaker Oats guy was like Benjamin Franklin, familiar, and good PR for Quakers.

Sports is a different story. Fighting Quakers sounds as provocative as the organization called "Jews for Jesus". Also, if it is wrong to call a team, the "Brownskins", it is wrong to call a team "The Washington Redskins".

I copied this from wikipedia..

In April 2001 the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights called for an end to the use of Native American images and team names by non-Native schools, stating, "These references, whether mascots and their performances, logos, or names, are disrespectful and offensive to American Indians and others and are particularly inappropriate and insensitive in light of the long history of forced assimilation that American Indian people have endured in this country." The commission declared that "the stereotyping of any racial, ethnic, religious or other group, when promoted by our public educational institutions, teaches all students that stereotyping of minority groups is acceptable, which is a dangerous lesson in a diverse society," and noted that "false portrayals encourage biases and prejudices that have a negative effect on contemporary Indian people."


The American Psychological Association adopted a Resolution August 21, 2005, recommending the immediate retirement of American Indian mascots, symbols, images, and personalities by schools, colleges, universities, athletic teams, and organizations. The APA stated that "racism and racial discrimination are attitudes and behavior that are learned and that threaten human development" and resolved to "denounce racism in all its forms, and take proactive steps to prevent the occurrence of intolerant or racist acts."

Well, there should be no problem with my alma mater as the mascot is a Turtle! (Which is to be Feared!!!!)

Our Turtle's name is Testudo, a much more fear inspiring one than Holly (although Holly is sweet - but sweet is not really what one is after when one is trying to win at sports, well, a turtle is not really symbolic of what one is after when one is trying to win at sports unless you consider the story of the tortoise and the hare, but then it is a tortoise and not a turtle.... but I digress...)

Oh no! Terps? Oh SimpleBear will love ya... I still do, too! My alma had problems... Apparently the wildcat portrait artist signed his paintings with a symbol rather than his given name. The wildcat's tongue was the symbol-signature. It was always a giant pen!s. It went unnoticed and unchallenged for years until the artist let it slip. Lawsuits ensued and the tongue was changed.
Oddly, I'm not as drawn to the new wildcat...

What a great story!!!

[partsgirl]

1) Yay! Someone's playing my game!
2) Your statement "all my chicken recipes...take at least 20 minutes" is part of why I think I'd be GREAT on Top Chef. I think that a LOT of cooks would have a similar train of thought of "what do I know how to make that blahblahblah...". ME? My train of thought goes "What would taste good?" I don't go through recipes in my head, I go through flavors and what compliments one another.
3) The chili idea is brilliant! I'd say do chili and grilled cheese! It's something everyone loves! If the kids don't like chili (I for one STILL don't like chili... I'm not a fan of kidney beans) there's still the sandwich for them! That's what my mom made in my house... if she ever made chili, there'd be grilled cheese too to appease my sister and I.

I played, too...

What a great story!!!

I still have a coin bank with the old Wildcat on it.
It's comforting

Seriously, was Holly one of those sweet little flat turtles that is about the size of a silver dollar? We had three of those when I was a kid (one for me and each of my siblings) we kept them in an aquarium where they had rocks to climb on, gravel and a nice, deep swimming pool. We loved to watch them swim and walk on our hand...

Thanks for the trip down memory lane Haldir!
