                      -HUTCHINSON NEWS-
                        ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE
                           AGAINST INDIANS
           the white man's newspaper, Hutchinson, Kansas

     August 14, 1999- The Hutchinson News, apologized to Kansas AIM Support
Group spokeswoman, Joni Tucker-Nisbeth, for their headline reading "HEAP BIG
CHIEF". Managing Editor, Gregory Halling, promised "Our editors will show more
sensitivity in the future."

     April 8, 2001- Reader, take a look at what "sensitivity" means to white
people.

     Barely a month after Hutchinson News publisher, Jim Bloom, condemned
nearby
Prosperity Elementary School for encouraging violence by planning to bring
flour
shooting guns into classrooms for a civil war shoot out, he prints in bold
headlines

                    "ORIOLES GUN DOWN INDIANS"

See; http://www.aics.org/NCRSM/gundownindianshead1.jpg

     In this day and age when guns and knives are taken from school children
everyday and when violence is considered a viable method among juveniles for
dealing with conflict, there is only one question. WHY WOULD THE HUTCHINSON
NEWS
ENCOURAGE GUNNING DOWN INDIANS FOR ANY REASON WHAT SO EVER?

     We can only guess...

     A. The HUTCHINSON NEWS thinks people are too sensitive about school
violence and there aren't enough dead children gunned down in hallways of
schools like Columbine, Colorado and Santee, California.

     B The HUTCHINSON NEWS must think the criminal hate threats, racial hate
threats and sexual assault threats from Little River Redskins in their region
are entertainment events and publisher Jim Bloom is trying to desensitize
people
a little bit- at the expense of Indians- to get some more subject matter on
juvenile criminal assults and arrests.

     C. People have accused Jim Bloom of being too sensitive about gun
violence
when he said Prosperity Elementary Students playing around with fake guns and
making gun talk was playing with potential school violence.
SOLUTION?- DESENSITIZE! Print

                     "(whomever) Gun Down Indians"

     and laugh about it in public. Hey, if you can't say "gun down Indians",
who
can you say it about? Black Men? How about Little White Girls? Which brings us
to our next point...

     C. Jim Bloom is not Indian, but his daughter is a little white girl.
However, OUR families are composed of Indians and of little girls so when we
read in big letters in his newspaper, "(whomever) Gun Down Indians" we see
"GUN
DOWN LITTLE INDIAN GIRLS" We also know any bigot who wants to send more
threats
or just take up a gun and use it sees

                      "GUN DOWN (whomever) INDIAN"

     Then the bigot laughs and laughs, hugs their baseball mit or beer or
whatever a white bigot hugs, and laughs some more.

     But what we do is talk back to Jim Bloom, like he talks to us, in his
newspaper and we say. Print us a story about a sport that says...

                    "(your team here) GUN DOWN
                        LITTLE WHITE GIRLS"

              Now that's what we call good sporting fun!
                 That's how you can honor white people!

     Of course, when we say this about white people then you get upset. But,
before you white people or any of their Chief Watermellon Fetchers, or Chief
Taco Grindin' lackeys start to write to us and say you are all insulted, be
sure
to understand our response is "GOOD, NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS".

     Unlike you idiot white people, we do not want to have any little girls or
anybody gunned down. White people, like Jim, can't identify the sources of
violence and don't really care about anybody outside their own fence anyway,
especially non-white people outside their fence. But what we want to know is
why
you, reader, will stand for any newspaper in this country to print this kind
of
encouragement to violence?

     We ask you to contact/write to the Hutchinson News and tell them to stop
encouraging violence against Indians or to encourage more violence against
white
people for a change, so this Indian mascot issue will get out into the public
attention. Because what you have going now is a clear statement from your
average hometown newspaper that white people are too stupid to learn how to
change racism and do not care when they encourage violence.

     What you also have in an article like this from the Hutchinson News is a
guarantee that another white school kid is going to gun down some other white
school kid in an argument over mascot Indians. Then are you are going to go
home and say to your reflection in the mirror, "What's the matter with kids
today? Where do they get such ideas?"
