       February 01, 2005

    By now, most of you have likely heard about the CU professor that compared the 9/11 victims to Nazi war criminals like Adolf Eichmann. As would be expected, he is coming under fire for his comments and has resigned a chairmanship at Colorado University. However he still continues to remain in the University's employ, and he continues to hold a number of other positions at the U.

    Shocking, however, is the way in which are choosing to come forward and defend him:

    Ethnic studies senior Dustin Craun and other students, many from Churchill's ethnic studies department, liken the controversy to a "witch hunt," said the paper. "White men trying to get an Indian out of Boulder? That's nothing new," said Craun. "That's how this city was started." Churchill is reportedly a Cherokee Indian by birth.

    Yes, Mr. Craun. It's aaaaaall because he's a Native American.

    There are questions about Churchill's Native American ethnicity.

    Evidently you can't be Native American when your parents and your grandparents are white:

    AN EDITORIAL:
    December 16, 2003

    An Editorial by
    WaBuninini, Indiz-Ni-Kaz
    Anishinaabe Ojibwa Nation
    Aka, Vernon Bellecourt, Member
    Executive Committee, American Indian Movement
    International Director, Council on Foreign Affairs

    To All Indian Media Outlets,
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-December 16, 2003

    "We see self-hating white men like Ward Churchill, Jordan Dill, and others who are seemingly infatuated romantically and mystically with being Indian to the point that they are willing to fraudulently take on the identity of being Cherokee. Both of these individuals have white grandfathers and grandmothers, and consequently, white mothers and fathers."

    Wait just a second here, this PC Ethnic studies person said "witch hunt"? Isn't that insulting to Wiccan Americans? That's it! I demand his resignation now!
