I assume some of you have seen this... OLE MISS STUDENTS TO VOTE ON MASCOT. YOU KNOW THE RIGHT CHOICE AND IT'S A TRAP - Every Day Should Be Saturday Insane college idea sure, but Ole Miss' Students have mangaged to bring far worse ideas into reality (Magnolia Bowl anyone?)
Not everyone, especially in Mississippi and the deep south, see the confederacy as racist. But in today's PC world, perception is reality, so Col Reb's got to go.
Those people are deniers, it is indeed a symbol for racism. However, dude aint go no whip in his hand or a noose, so they should really just let it go. Kids of all colors are getting the same opportunity for a good education there regardless of the mascot.
To you, certainly, but not to everybody. It was not a one issue war. Unfortunately, too many ignorant necks have made it into a racist symbol so it is what it is. Agree, but college admins are spineless wimps and will shy away from controversy.
This thread is about 8 posts away from FSA. :lol: Seriously though....I see absolutely NOTHING wrong with Col. Reb. That's just my .02
