Southern Guilford...Indians?

Yes, for just under $20, you can have yourself a Southern Guilford Indians T-shirt from this ambiguous apparel website called Zazzle. Never mind that Southern's mascot is the Storm now. That baby's going to be a collector dream!

Zazzle is one of those Print-On-Demand Web Companies. You need only upload the graphics and let them know how much mark-up you want. Then let the cash roll-in (or so they say). You can have any T-Shirt or printable item you can imagine.

Southern Guilford will ALWAYS be the Indians... "Storm" is just a way to pacify those that had nothing better to do and had nothing else in life to keep themselves occupied. Southern Guilford Indians was not a name for our school.. it was a way of life. Too bad the PC police had to ruin generations of a long standing tradition.

What longstanding tradition was that? One that ignores the fact that there was a genocide in this country? One that pretends that indigenous people don't exist anymore? What if the team was called the Southern Guilford Negroes? Or Southern Guilford Towelheads? Sounds to me like you wouldn't care, but is that the kind of image you want to project of our City, and for your children to grow up in? Is has nothing to do with being PC, it has everything to do with not promoting a racist mascot. Do we really have to argue about this in 2009? Come on now, this is a clear and easy call.

If you knew the entire history behind the name and the community, then you wouldn't even have to ask these stupid questions. Know what you are speaking about before shooting off comments that you know nothing about.
