get a hold of Chris Buttars and maybe he can help you guys out on racial discrimination techniques. he does have some white political clout and can do many good things for a cause like yours. indians are a dark ugly red thing, just look at the cleveland indian mascot or the washington redskin emblem. maybe you can finish the job that your forefathers were unable to complete. i personally get sick of this kind of racist, bigamist, hatred of indians. Signed, Navajo Indian who hates his roots!

She just made herself look bad!
I am a American Idian, Navajo to be exact, and I am just as angry and upset as most of you are. I don't think these two girls or anyone else has the right to write offensive languages referring the past of a harsh and crude American history. Some of these historical events that have occured such as the Trail of Tears is still troubling to some of our elders. Why make those comments???? I don't think anyone, especially these two girls, should compare what they have written to Sport!! Not only that, they are suppose to be from BYU!!! Have some repect for your school and yourself.
To "Navajo who hates his roots" - dude just shred up your "CIB - Certificate of Indian Blood." That's all you gotta do to let go. Get yourself off the census roll count, check the box "anglo saxon" and your home free! You and Chris Buttars then can become best friends! Then go find a get dermatologist to zap you with a laser to kill your melatonin cells. Skin will be white & no need to worry about dark skin. Make sure you wear SPF 60 & some of that cool UV protective clothing they sell at DICK's sporting goods. You'll be 10 times like to develop skin cancer. Our forefathers did not start anything. We will start it! Make sure your front and center. Wear a sign that says "former Navajo." And we will be there to start the discrimination my delicious APPLE homie.
