    Sad days when ignorance and slander rule. The left is on a witch hunt. Like the Girondin and Jacobins of the French Revolution they will end up in the trumbels carrying them to see Dr Guilotine.

    OK, I give up. The closest explanation Google has of trumbels is an obscure male baby name not in the list of most 1000 popular names.

    Worse than that bullshit petition itself is the self righteousness of the utter imbeciles that would sign it. I regret I am in the same galaxy as someone who would sign that P.O.S.

    Louisiana State University named their mascot the Tigers, and they named it during the height of Jim Crow South. This was a time when black men feared for their lives, and were treated as sub human. This symbol is the most prevalent confederate symbol in the United States.

    I didn't put it in bold, they did.

    My conclusion is a lot of people wasted their time on the Confederate flag.

    I suspect this is a troll.

    Whats the argument though. LSU has a live Bengal Tiger on campus. Its not like Ole Miss where they used Colonel Reb as their mascot.. Nothing racist about a Bengal Tiger.

    LSU's Tiger is a great mascot, imo second only to Colorado's Ralphie

    I'd imagine it would eat whomever was tossed in the cage regardless of race.
