Sioux on warpath over Crazy Horse
2004-10-20
Parisian club hurts Sioux pride
The Sioux tribe of North America is demanding that the famous Parisian nightclub The Crazy Horse change its name out of respect for a former chief.
Oh, boy! More Tales of the Easily Offended™!
Harvey White Woman, a descendant of Crazy Horse, told the club that "my family are offended whenever there is a show of disrespect to our culture". The letter was delivered to the club by Alfred Red Cloud, 53, on behalf of the Oglala Sioux from South Dakota. Mr White Woman said the letter was prompted by the discovery that stage shows at the Crazy Horse featured pseudo-Indian feathered headdresses - on mostly naked dancers.

#15  They weren't all republicans. George McClelland ran against Lincoln on the Democratic party ticket. Got his ass whipped there, too. Just like the seven days.

#14  AC,

Most Union officer vets were Republicans (Party of Lincoln) although G.A. Custer was enough of a political opportunist (like another decorated war vet we know) that I'm sure he would've accepted the Dem nomination had it been offered.

#13  This raises a question:
We know that the unfortunate G.A. Custer had political ambitions, but do we know his party affiliation?

I think I understand where the hair-trigger sensitivity is coming from.

#9  Hmm, IIRC there's a fairly good strip club in San Francisco called the 'Crazy Horse Theater'. I guess the Sioux haven't heard of it.

#5  LOL--Maybe that's why they were one of the fiercest tribes on the Great Plains--they had the most lawyers! Nothing sends a chill down my spine like the phrase "Lakota Litigators".

#1  If you're an Indian who answers to the name "Mr. White Woman" I think changing the name of a nightclub should be your second priority.
