Duluth hockey fans warned after racist chants

No one EVER said it actually happened. But he is saying it was just some fabricated tall tale, and it wasn't. The British military actually strongly considered using that tactic in the French and Indian War. So really, it's not based on false information. Its origins are actually in a real plan that never got implemented.

No one other than Ward Churchill. Multiple times. And a faculty committee at CU concluded he was lying and stealing other people's work without attribution, and fired him for it. You really are confused, aren't you?

This obsession you have about the French and Indian war, and it's relevance here, is, IMO unhealthy.

Let's cut the crap, everybody! The whites are the REAL victims here!

Oh, I get it. The UMD fans were chanting "smallpox blankets" as a reference to Native Americans "accidently" coming across infected blankets and using them :rolleyes:

So, not only are you defending the use of this chant, you're saying we're racist for being offended by it?

Wow.

It's so much more fun to believe this myth, isn't it?There is no "evidence" the story is true. Let alone an "abundance" of evidence. There isn't. It never happened.

It happened, I was there. End of story.


What's worse than an obnoxious and arrogant, person? One that won't shut the hell up! You deserve a ten day vacation from your keyboard. No, actually everyone that visits this site deserves that.

Racist? No. Deluded by PC paranoia. You might try actually reading my posts.

I haven't said a word about the chants. Which is up to your customary standards. Frankly, college kids being crude, disrespectful and over the line at sporting events doesn't come as much of a surprise, in this case or any other. it is certainly true that some folks rights not to be offended take precedence over everything else. For the record, I don't like the cheers.

The smallpox blanket story is a cherished part of the anti-white catechism, as we see from you and others.

It is historical fact that smallpox decimated the Native American population. There is AMPLE evidence that the strategy of intentionally infecting the Native American population in certain areas of North America with smallpox was, at the least, pursued. There is strong implicating evidence that it was carried out.
All this evidence concerns British officials and dates to a period before the American Revolution or an American government.

So, technically speaking Old Pio, you have a point that there is no evidence that the United States government intentionally distributed infected blankets. However, no one in this thread made any mention of the U.S. Army, the American government or "white folk" (until you did so). Your eagerness to turn this issue into one about slander directed toward the early U.S. Army and American government is interesting to say the least, and at most belies how your own mixed-up perceptions of some sort of overt and unique persecution being experience by white people in today's America infests your general world view.

At any rate, the implication of the cheer was clear.

So to answer your original question: in this instance, no it does not matter that an academic researcher fabricated and/or assumed information regarding the use of "smallpox blankets." The implication of the cheer is what is offensive; the validity of the research surrounding a specific part of the history is meaningless to this discussion.
