#1 Heck, what about the university itself, a product and institution of White Supremacist(tm)culture?

#2 So... did any actual Native Americans complain about it or just those with White Guilt?

#3 CF, if they tried, they could easily find at least one Native American to complain. That's all it takes.

Maybe Elizabeth Warren.

#4 Moar racis writings to condemn:

... The pilgrimage came to this

The sun dancing came to this

The destiny of the people came to this

Oklahoma

Oklahoma is the name of the sun’s house

Oklahoma is the name of an ancient quest

Oklahoma is the name of a great destiny

Others came

Others came upon the rolling plains

They bore books and learning

They bore the Word of God

They bore the machinery of nationhood

Now we come in our turn

Now we come to a new destiny

Now we come to a new consecration

of this holy place

Now we come in our turn

To stand on this ground between

our forebears and our children

To build understanding on what has been

To build greatness on what will be.

-- "Oklahoma 2003" by N. Scott Momaday

#6 Not about redskins, it's about "OccupySLU" and "FergusonSpring."
