Native Americans Can Not Say That
Politically Correct gone way wrong......................When has it not?
The University of North Carolina at Pembroke has a mascot known as the "Braves". The NCAA has asked the university to stop calling the team the braves. Small problem with that, the UNC Pembroke was founded "exclusively" for American Indians and they named themselves the Braves.
The university currently has a 20% Native American population which has to be one of the highest in the country. The leader of the Lumbee tribe told the NCAA, "we don't have to have you tell us what's offensive".
Give me a couple tomahawk chops on that one......
