Now you have seen one more aspect of the mascot fight and freedom of religion for Native Americans, the lawyers. One at a time their spokespersons have put themselves up as your expert buddy and told you that Native American religion is not worth their time,
"Sorry, no case honey."SO, DO YOU BELIEVE THEM? Will you let these phony legal guys B.S. you? Do you want to get some where or do you want to be persecuted and waste your time? You could be playing blocks with your daughter instead and constantly back tracking to find out who has been brain washing your child with religious hatred.
We are responding in reference to the following remarks sent to us about hiring any lawyer to work in a court of law for the dignity promised by the constitution of the United States establishing religious freedom for all people.
"...We had considered this strategy about eight years ago and did discover at least one precedent case in Illinois involving the Christian faith and municipal government.
However, your scenario of the paper headdress may probably not strong enough
to make a case. For one, the issue of what happens in a specific classroom might not meet
the test of State, whereas the situation of a school mascot/symbol may... With all that said, NARF is currently reevaluating the potential of legal
action but we have come to no conclusion. I do want to share with you
(employee of organization) commented to me on another issue -- Indian people
can not afford to bring cases before the courts that are doomed to begin
with, for every loss sets a precedent that all Indian people must live with
until a better case presents itself..."We believe the Native American Rights Fund (NARF) should take out the words "NATIVE AMERICAN RIGHTS" from their name and substitute a more accurate name, THE ANDREW JACKSON FUND FOR TERRORIST DEVELOPMENT
Photo: Unable to find an Indian child to mock in person due to the high death rate of Native Americans in Kansas Washington Elementary School, McPherson resorts to placing chicken feathers on a wooden dummy.7,000 grade schools across the country were on the same day, dressing several hundred thousand kids in construction paper headdresses and chicken feather specials from the MADE IN CHINA CATALOGUES.
We know what this letter will do, it will cut down the e-mail from the phonies out there who believe they are doing something for the cause. We have been talking nice before but by talking nice we see no one answers the questions so what is the point of talking nice?
QUESTIONS FOR A LAWYER BEFORE YOU HIRE HIM:
1. What lawyer would like his cultural identity displayed as a mascot and wants his family history displayed as mascot?
2. Which lawyer would like to have his religious symbols displayed as mascot toys?
3. Which lawyer does nothing and says the mascot does not affect the child's self image?
3. Which Black, Jewish, or Asian heritage lawyer is going to come out and say they should be mascot?
4. Which Black lawyer is going to come out and say since the black athlete is in the majority in sports we are finally going to settle this mascot issue and make the Black American the mascot right here and now.
5. What Hispanic lawyer is going to say bring back the Frito Bandito? Many Hispanic players play for these teams. When are they need to clean up their act or do they like to be known for making mascots of another race?
6. What oriental will stand and say we like to be called gooks and slant eyes? Yet those same lawyers whine about civil rights supporting the racism against another. Look at Bill Lee the former NAACP legal staffer who is now the President's head of the Justice Dept. Are we going to see prosecution of schools making mascots of Native Americans or are we going to see him say, "Sure how about a Yellow Peril mascot in a San Francisco school, sounds cool to me."
And then there's the white folks, Catholic, Christian, Protestants. Ask the Southern Baptist if they want their people made into mascots? Go ahead and suggest it and listen to the animal squeal at the mention of them. Look at http://www.iwchildren.org/tdjesus.htm for a good example of the way it would go for Touchdown Jesus.
Ask a lawyer this, since the president is a lawyer would he and his family want to be mascots? Let's have a big dildo for a president mascot running around the stadium and see if the issue of respect gets talked about. Look at it for what it is, the president is a lawyer too and what does his morality do? He runs around hiring more lawyers to defend him for his sex life in the oval office and he is just a loose cannon on a long convention weekend. His girl friends who are degrading the women who are the mothers, sisters and daughters of this country can say hey I did the highest profile lawyer in the country. Now he is putting lawyer after lawyer into employment, to defend this behavior, yet what does any one with common sense say about him?
We challenge any lawyer to say, "Native Americans are mascots, everybody has equal rights so let's bring back Sambo, lets bring in the Jewish mascot, let's get the gook railroad working mascot into the schools and sports arenas."
The phony lawyer will say, "We can't make the Black or Yellow races into mascots, it would interfere with their heritage and their identity." Any powerful Jewish lawyer would never neglect to say the Jewish mascot is degrading. Every thanksgiving construction paper headdress of the Sioux are made by public school children but do Jewish lawyers stop this abuse? They would if a morality play done every year in pubic schools featured a yellow construction paper Star of David made by children for the annual Easter "Killing of Jesus". They definitely would go to court as this would be degrading, insulting and an act of hatred.
We have heard the lawyers telling us how they can't go to work for Native Americans for years but if your lawyer can't answer these questions their identity is worth nothing, their religion is worth nothing. If they aren't moving to take the cases why are they upset because we point to them hiding in the muck at the bottom of the lagoon?
We will clarify the issue and show what a low life lawyer looks like. Is there a lawyer, especially a Black lawyer who would stand for his children, his religion and his ancestors to be ridiculed by the schools? But since a lawyer does not have a family he will say, "Give me the green with Andrew Jackson's face on it!". He will say, "You are worth nothing and your children are worth nothing because they don't have the green God in their hand." Listen to them whine about these statements but look to see how many of them will answer the questions and how many will say, "Sure, use my child, and family as mascots."
WHAT IS A LAWYER?
A lawyer should understand the case they are involved in. Have your attorneys answered these questions? If they haven't they don't have the ability to address the case. To be honest about it they don't have the ability to be in the law profession. If they can't they are playing lawyer. If they can't they aren't a father or mother and sure don't have understanding of Native American religion.
Don't bother running to any flunky Indian organizations to champion your cause because what you are hearing now is from Native Americans who understand their people and love them.
We challenge anybody about our religious beliefs and our culture identity at any time. As you will see we have no takers they crawl unde a rock and say the truth is too hard to view. Don't talk to us how to address it as we have been addressing it since the European came and look where has it gotten us. To the point where open racism is practiced against us. Any lawyer out there can respond to the questions or they will do what all lawyers do and crawl under a rock until that rock can be pried up with a $20 bill.
The reason most of the attorneys can not understand why Native Americans don't have deserve respect for their religions is because nine out of ten lawyers do not have a religious base. If they did they would understand there is not dignity in making any religion into a mascot. So when you go in there ask the lawyer if he has a religion. If he says yes have him answer the questions and if he can't, he is no human being but playing around in a masquerade. Since apparently there are no takers, there are no lawyers out there with a religion. This includes the Asian, Hispanic, Blacks and Jew. Don't play lawyer with the Native American go play it with the other folks, we have dealt with the B.S. since the invasion of the Europeans.
Don't try to justify your hiding away with dignity as we can question it and show you have none. If we can not have our religion free from molestation from Black athletes, fake lawyers, and sexist politicians like the president then no one can have it. So we ask is the United States a degenerate county? All we want from others is to respect our religion.
We have been tortured to adopt to yours. Our children have been beaten, molested and psychologically warped and twisted just to submit to yours. This country's history is well know. It has tortured, molested, beaten and taken children away from their families, destroying the Native American family to try to get respect for your religions. We can easily point this out to you. The mascot issue is no different than the boarding school issues since the beginning of the white man, nothing has changed. The only modern change is that the abuse is no longer physical now it is done mentally and psychologically.
You will cry that these are past wrongs but they continue because they are not addressed. You may not beat our children now but the black athlete and public schools are now mentally abusing children. Is that the pride of this country, to go after children and abuse them? That is the way it has been since you set foot on this soil.
We challenge anybody to a debate on this and it has been on our web sit for a year but we still have no takers. You can see we have had no takers and the lawyers won't budge until we dangle a $20 bill in front of their faces.
Remember how the lawyer is like the US Government, he only wants the dollar. Like Andrew Jackson sent the 8,000 Cherokee to their deaths http://www.iwchildren.org/murderer.htm where is he except following the profit? If you want rights, rob a bank and take the money to a lawyer. After he bleeds the money and gets you off with a reduced sentence no matter how guilty you are, the profession will give him a plaque because he was able to steal the money from you and now you are able to go out and steal again.
But if ask him to sit and talk about your rights because you believe in your religion and know that you have your rights and title to the dignity of a human being, he will tell you there is no case. Go rob that bank and come back to him and he will receive your $20 bills with Andrew Jackson on them and get moving to court. He will say, "Sure come on, but don't talk to me of your rights as a human being to protect your children, the dignity of your ancestors and your interest in equality and respect!"
What lawyer is going to tell you the eagle feather is not a religious symbol? So where is the lawyer when it is time to do the work? He is looking at his God the greenback.
The reason why lawyers refuse to address this legal issue is because there is no money in the Native American community. Why would they want to upset the Christian community who has the money? It is pure economics because the lawyer's God is money. You will find the lawyer hanging on the edges of our discussions like the vultures and when it looks ripe and juicy to jump for the gold, there he is. Next time you hear a lawyer joke, use a little common sense, does he stand for your rights or does he stand for the dollar?
NAACP, DRIVEN BY LAWYERS, DOLLARS OR DIGNITY?
We have the challenge standing for the NAACP and their lawyers to take up the questions, http://www.iwchildren.org/naacp.htm. When are you going to get those overpaid muscle bound athletes to quit training children to be bigots against the Naive American? Isn't it time the Black American and his lawyers clean up their own shop and quit whining about their rights? Every body knows the NAACP cries about racism but every body sees they do not know what racism really is.
Our questions are open to any great legal mind on the web. Ask any person or culture or religion do they want their people displayed as mascots? Ask any idiot if they want this to happen to them? So when any lawyer tells you that you have no case know he has already sold his soul to the devil. For isn't the Antichrist an individual who pits religions against each other, corrupts the child's mind and all just because they are different? Now, isn't that the lawyer, that is, unless you have the $20 bill with the terrorist's face on it to defend your rights?
We will address any question a lawyer sends in concerning what we have said. If they have the guts and the dignity. They will have to answer these questions but none of these are acceptable questions in this day. We still ask why are there Indian mascots in modern time and these questions shouldn't even have to be posed.
Unfortunately we have seen no lawyers with respect or dignity for their family, race, creed, culture or religion. We hope we are wrong but we have yet to see any. We want to see one who will go against the forces of greed corruption and immorality.
Remember, all you parents out there fighting for Native American dignity in the schools, you have seen that if you stand up with the strength of a parent and the knowledge in your heart that you are doing the work of protecting all children and ask for help, the lawyers will run from you.
When you are visiting with a lawyer in his office, ask these questions above. When the lawyer says he has to go the john and sends his secretary back to say he is busy you know you are talking to the Antichrist and get out of there. Continue to look for one with dignity.
