Please note that "black face" was intentionally used to degrade blacks and to perpetuate the idea that African Americans were unworthy of basic respect. Black face was meant to justify a pervading hatred for people of color by reducing them to simple idiocy. This Quaker City performance, however, was done out of admiration for our country's founding fathers. It was done out of appreciation. I am sorry to learn that some are offended. I personally thought it was beautiful. I assure you that I would not wish to offend anyone, so tell me... where did I get off track?

Obviously, I am ignorant. But I don't want to stay that way! What's the solution? Certainly, it is not to throw angry words like " Fucking white ppl," or " WANNABEE'S." After all, I can't tell what color these people are and who cares? If you're offended, you're offended and it doesn't matter what color anyone is. Better to just make it plain what you wish. No one can read anyone's mind. Native Americans have been pushed aside, trampled and hidden away from the mainstream. How many Americans - white, black, Chinese, Pakistani, or otherwise - do you think have a personal relationship with a Native American? Very few indeed! Therefore, I encourage some peaceful discussion. I am ready to listen.

It's a shame that the e whole world is ready to hear what you have to say.

To this so called Entertainers--

We are only blinf as we want to be-- MD

PC is reversed when the offenders seem beyond ignorant, spit on their bible and u get their attention, scream offensive shite to them and they take notice, when they leave this life, guess whos got a surprise for them.....better think

ugly costumes, heavy footed and crude choreography. I actually see no similarities between this junk and my culture. Hey QCSB...is this the best you have??? this cartoonish junk is no threat to any Native culture. Its just stupid...."dance" on, fools!

????? WOW!!! >: (

So you use the sacred culture of someones tribe to entertain people.. I don't like it either.. If you have love and honor for the culture and people then why not have the people represent them selves!! invite them to dance!! Probably learn way more than any research!! I don't feel like my heritage is at all for anyone's entertainment!! If you did not know about the respect and honor behind the outfits and dances the research was only what it looks like, not what its about.. and you see, it means more than this!! So so much more!!

Do you have any video of that? I'd love to find out some additional information.
