    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.

    That's because Ole Miss wants money. And they think the rebels are racist and keeping minorities out.

    I think army should change their mascot. It offends me because it speaks of color. Of course, I'm joking, but that's the kind of bull crap we're dealing with here.

    probably just as stupid.

    Anybody remember seeing any ole miss games this season? Anytime a team member did anything worth a crap, or they thought was worth a crap, they put their hand on their helmet like a shark. This has been in the works apparently for a while now.

    It means different things to different people, FUBU is a symbol for racism if you ask me, but you would probably see it differently. That's not a bad thing it's just life. It also doesn't make you a racist if you don't think FUBU is a symbol of racism as I do. I don't think being white and from the south makes you a racist, but you and I would probably disagree on that too.

    I think those wussies should get a "Green" mascot like Stanford.

    Maybe they could imitate the Crimson Tide (red algae bloom) and be called the Global Warming instead of Rebels.

    Maybe...something that honors Southern food like Grits and Hominy....nah, never mind....(too white).

    Deer Flies?...Brulot? Any other suggestions ?
