I was bored on the crapper so I decided to look into this. Turns out Golden Eagles is not in the top 5, they aren't even in the top 10. They are tied with a few other schools for 12th.

Thank you for taking the time to do this.  I imagine Warriors is not used officially by anyone?  We would be unique?

No.  Hawaii is the Warriors. We would be one of two in Division 1

Edit,  my mistake. I missed that Hawaii switched back to Rainbow Warriors a few years ago.

Just like I think Marquette could have used non-racist imagery and kept the Warrior nickname.

Maybe a nice drawing of the Hoan Bridge.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Can you please provide an example of something racist that is "good"?

Huckleberry Finn, Uncle Tom's Cabin, To Kill a Mockingbird.

But we would have been the only one with just Warriors (Rainbow Warriors is a combo name)?

Yes.  Like I said,  my mistake I missed that Hawaii switched back to Rainbow Warriors a few years ago.  They were just the warriors for awhile.

Got it, misunderstood you. Thank you

Stereotyping rap music as "black" might be racist.

I disagree. Claiming rap music is part white music might be extremely racist.

Huckleberry Finn, Uncle Tom's Cabin, To Kill a Mockingbird.

Gone with the Wind, Blazing Saddles, Shaft

[Herman Cain]

Gone with the Wind, Blazing Saddles, Shaft

Who's the black private dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks? (Shaft)
You're damn right
Who is the man that would risk his neck for his brother, man? (Shaft)
Can ya dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about? (Shaft)
Right on
You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother (Shut your mouth)
But I'm talkin' about Shaft (Then we can dig it)
He's a complicated man but no one understands him but his woman (John Shaft)

Were Rochester (Jack Benny, y'all) and Bill Crosby, Uncle Toms, hey?

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Fighting Hawk anyone?

War Eagles. 

It would make our name a lot less generic, and be a nod to the past.

They're not D1 but Wayne St University in Detroit is the Warriors

Great idea!

So is Wisconsin Lutheran College

Well yeah. People don't like "political correctness" as a concept, but they don't say that people are in agreement about what political correctness actually is.

This post is why we can't have nice things.

As Justice Stevens once said, "I may not be able to define it but I know it when I see it".

Oh look. MUScoop bringing back this discussion after it was moved and locked? Color me shocked that this group can't move on, or at least move this discussion to Superbar where it belongs.

You're right. I gave my last post the old "nm" treatment.

[ZMovieman]

Honestly, it's not directed at any one person MUBurrow. I just find these constant back and forth diatribes, re-litigating the past aggravating. I know it'll probably sound like yelling into the void, but as a daily visitor to the site (though infrequent poster), it does sometimes make me with there was another active Marquette forum worth a damn. MUScoop is as close as it gets, so I deal, despite my fraying patience that prompted the post.

A Fox News poll. LOL!  This is as legitimate as the Daniel Snyder poll that claimed Native Americans overwhelmingly supported his team's racist name.  Elizabeth Warren was more Native than the individuals who were able to "self-identify" to participate in that poll.

The right has done a wonderful job taking extreme examples to fuel the persecution complex among their own to claim "PC run amok." In reality, when the right says "PC run amok" what it really means is the inability to use the N word and other racist, sexist and bigoted slurs in public without consequence.
