Will it ever stop?

I can't think of anyone who "characterised" Native Americans in the NW of England more than Billy Two Rivers who hammed it up big time much to the delight of his fans - mainly women. It certainly got him laid as his son - fashion designer and Blackburn fan Wayne Hemingway - will attest, and by all accounts Billy couldn't keep his tomahawk in his pants.

Billy went on to become a leader of the Mohawks and an activist - presumably fighting against the very stereotype he did s much to promote.

Like army I agree with every word, in answer to your question, 'why is the colour of a person's skin so f*cking important to some people?', I would say that 'anti-racism' is now an industry, a big industry, a lot of people are employed, they have good jobs, they are making good money, they want to expand their industry, why would they not ?

As always mon ami, follow the money.

That's a very sad thought mon ami, but one I will have in the back of my mind all day.

I never knew Wayne Hemingway was Billy's son. Never a big of fan of wrestling but my dad was, I got taken to several live bouts at quite an early age, but I remember better my dad watching it on ITV, around Saturday lunch time I think. Besides Billy Two Rivers, I can remember Giant Haystacks, Jackie Pallo, Mick McManus and Big Daddy. I always found it odd that, although he knew full well it was all one big well rehearsed act, he took it very seriously and could get quite animated during a bout. He was a Blackburn fan though, ST holder, so his sporting tastes were rather peculiar.
