Listen, you are correct in your first assertion. But there are a few minority scholarships that are available for selected majors because their AA population is so little. At least it was that way when i graduated high school.

?Flagship? is racist. You can google the history of ?flagship? as a term for college education in Mississippi.

In olden days, the state of MS declared the big 3 colleges to ALL be flagships. This term was used to set them apart from the black colleges.

Those times are long gone but not forgotten in Oxford. Why does Ole Miss insist on hanging on to a term which was invented to distinguish them from HSBUs?

I was simply referring to the fact that in that article they interviewed students who were offended by the symbols around that campus yet those same students knowingly chose to attend the university.

It's not like racism is centralized to Oxford. If you honestly can't recognize that they do actually have some decent programs you should get your head out of the sand.

I bet a lot go there because they get more scholarship money so it ends up cheaper than other places. HBCU aren't exactly respected when it comes to their degrees. I know some have good programs but for the most part, the degree is worth considerably less than a degree from MSU, USM, or Ole Miss. For someone that actually takes academics and their future career more seriously, they probably look more at the other more prestigious schools and choose which is the best for them. Whether the choice is driven by cost, distance from home, or other factors, some black students choose to go there and probably hope they can improve it. The article sounded like the one student involved with the NAACP went there to instigate change. As bad as I hate UM, the state of MS needs them to change. That dumbass school impacts the state's national image. Hell, ESPN gets us confused so if we are recruiting minority students from other parts of the country, UM's negative image can impact how they think they might be treated in Mississippi. The only other alternative is to burn the place down Sherman style which I am ok with.

It's certainly not "defending them" to note that comparing their AA population to the AA population of the state is not a reasonable method for determining whether the university is unwelcoming to AA students. The racial breakdown of roughly college age students in a state who are reasonably prepared to go to a four year university is, due largely to past practices in most (all?) SEC states, very unlikely to match the overall demographic of the State.


I'm sure Ole Miss's AA population is lower than it would be if it were not for their past and current attitudes, but they are not any more out of line than Auburn is, and to my knowledge Auburn does not have anything like the racial baggage ole miss has. Same goes for USC, although USC did have those ass hat students (or sidewalk fans) on Borat...

Bama and Georgia have 2 and 3 times the population we have also

[Tbonewannabe]

Bama and Georgia have 2 and 3 times the population we have also

You also have to look at how tough it is to get into the various schools. Isn't MSU and UM's requirements for admission lowered due to the Ayers lawsuit dealing with the HBCUs in MS? Other SEC schools might have higher standards which make it harder for minority students to get into schools. African American dominated school systems are typically not as high performing. Several reasons for it but it causes kids to be behind the 8 ball when trying to get into college.

[BrunswickDawg]

Bama and Georgia have 2 and 3 times the population we have also

Total population of the state has nothing really to do with this. The question is - does the make up of student body reflect the population of the state? The fact is, we are the only school in the SEC that has a diverse enough student body that is anywhere close to reflecting the actual population of the state. With a larger population base, Alabama and Georgia should have more African-American students then they do since they have a large population pool to draw from. As Cooter points out - A/A make up 13% of the total US population - so even if you set that as a marker (which is well below the percentage of A/A population in every SEC state but Missouri), the SEC as a whole is still does not reflect the population of the country.

Now, don't confuse this as an argument that OM is doing something special, or something that should be applauded. The article is spot on in the way race and the Lost Cause still influences life on the OM campus. It's not unique to OM - I've heard similar feelings from students at UGA and Bama and other large state universities. Where the author errs is singling OM out as poor example of racial diversity when the reality is - as whole - the Universities in MS have done a better job then any other schools in the SEC in serving the minority populations of their states when you look at the statistics.

I don't get why MSU fans would want to push a standard where MSU is just "less racist" than Ole Miss. That's essentially what comparing their AA population to the state's does.

It's so easy to point out the origin of the term "Ole Miss", their mascots, the incidents they keep having on campus, etc. Why would you want to make an argument that MSU and Ole Miss both fall short when it comes to AA students, but state doesn't fall short as badly?

I think MSU does a good job with diversity. Comparing our stats to someone like the University of Texas, in 2014 had a 4% enrollment of black students. The state of Texas is 11% black. I wonder if you took out all the black athletes what the percentage would go down to. MSU seems to do a better job than most in P5 conferences and UM actually doesn't do a bad job in comparison to other P5 schools.

Mississippi schools get a bad reputation because the entire state is deemed racist by media and the lingering Old South imagery that places like Ole Miss still perpetuate. Their dumbasses actually hurt MSU's image just from being in the same damn state.

You don't see many monuments to the losing cause except maybe in museums, where I think it does belong. You don't see any monuments to Nazis in Germany, it is even illegal to have swatstikas. I am not completely sure how I feel about that. On one hand, everyone should be free to be a total asshole human being if it doesn't actually hurt anyone. On the flip side, having that type of hate speech (as Germany defines it) does have a negative impact on peoples environments. I imagine jewish people feel the way about those as black people feel about the KKK's burning crosses.

I love Mississippi, I love the people of Mississippi, its my home. We have had our share of problems but it's still my home and I'm proud of it. I'm like you, Hack, I'm tired of unm constantly destroying what the rest of us have tried to build, and they've been doing it for years. They're still living in the 1860's while the rest of us are here in 2017. Its sickens me every time they do something to make us look bad.

Couldn't agree more.
