Where are the protest about the names "Ole Miss" and 'Rebels" ?

[fishwater99]

It's time to end the state school with slavery ties in their name.

Where is the outrage and protests, let's don't let a good crisis go to waste.

I concur. If you ever wanna get those fools to show their collective a$$es and look like complete morons, this should be pushed!

Ah, as Lee Corso says, not so fast. Let them keep it; it will be our recruiting advantage on them. That is how you take advantage of the situation on them, not help them get rid of it. Use it to play the wild card when things get tight on a recruit.

For the right dollar amount, a 17/18 yr old will ignore any such factors.

True, never said it was greater than money but it is one more thing that helps MSU. Take every advantage you can get. Plus the more they have to spend, more likely they get caught or run low of cash or the less they can buy. It ain't rocket science.

[dantheman4248]

And here I thought this was gonna be a protest all of ED could get behind. I'd march all through the Grove for this one.

(Though R2 makes fair and valid points)

I have been to the Grove several times and I am amazed those drunk bastards can find their way to the stadium from there.

If we start rioting and looting and killing police officers, then they might change the name and mascot. Until then, it ain’t happening.

I think they should work on excessive force and basic racial equality first. Focus on getting that closer to a more perfect union and then worry about those douchbags.

You nailed it. David Dorn. What color was he? Does his life matter? BLN is a ****in joke. An absolute joke along with antifa.

How dare you disrespect the brave antifa soldiers who fought for this country and began the largest antifa operation 76 years ago in history by storming Normandy.


On a related note if you think antifa is a real homeade isis, Donald has some oceanfront property in Kansas he'd like to sell you.

You can’t even acknowledge David Dorn. You are a garbage human being.

As you can't say Breonna Taylor or Sean Monterrosa.

"Maybe if David Dorn hasn't been out past curfew then he would still be alive."

If that sentence offends you but replacing his name with Sean Monterrosa doesn't then you're the one with the double standard.

Dwight Eisenhower supreme Allied commander and architect of D Day was a Republican

My Grand Father in law fought In D Day, is a Republican. Super nice guy, speaks more Italian than English still.

They would not associate with communists in tight pants and superhero shirts.

Once again he confuses confronting an evil empire (Hitler and their allies in WWII) to thugs in the streets of America rioting and looting American businesses (including mom and pop stores)!

I think you're kind of missing his point. I have no issue stating that Sean Monterrosa should still be alive.

I also don't hold a double standard to deaths. Whereas the left absolutely refuses to speak on other crime involving people of color and just use the excuse of racism to right off any other crime committed by African Americans.

No longer do the actions of the individual matter. If a black person commits a violent crime it is simply due to his or her circumstance and systemic racism is the cure all answer from the left. That is intellectually dishonest.

I can't speak for most conservatives but I can speak on my thoughts. I am fine with the protests and I do believe we can do better as a country when it comes to police brutality. I also believe that individuals that commit violent crimes regardless of color or creed are also guilty and blaming systemic racism is just flat out wrong. People want to focus on the system instead of the individual.

We have 800+ thousand people in Law enforcement. There were 1,000 people killed by police in 2019, 88 of which were African American. That tells me that an overwhelmingly large majority of Police are doing there job somewhat correctly. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't look for change in certain procedures and come up with some way to vet these guys/give them more training. We should absolutely be actively seeking those things that could improve the system. But it will never be perfect because people run the system and people are messy/selfish/insecure/macho etc. So you will still have isolated events like we saw a couple of weeks ago.

The issue isn't the system. Yes, should the system be tweaked absolutely, but the argument to completely change how we do things just doesn't hold any water.

Now I think we could both agree on the fact that there needs to be prison reform, especially for non violent crimes and petty drug charges. Those people should never have to spend a day in jail and its a huge hamstring on taxpayer dollars to simply line some individuals pockets. That is something I am very much in support of.

I just wish people could admit that there is nuance to these topics and it isn't all cut and dry one way or the other, which neither side seems to be open to.

How about:

Northern Miss University....to balance out USM

I like Dickie University for them. Shorten it to Dick U and it fits them perfectly.

[Dawgology]

I like University of Northern Mississippi to balance out University of Southern Mississippi. That works for them. They could be the Powder Blue Eagles.

[dantheman4248]

They'll become the University of Mississippi Sharks and dissassociate from Ole Miss like they did Rebel Rags.

The University of Mississippi Big Fat Nasty-Smelling Fat Bitch Ass Trifflin Dirty Racist Ass Oompa Loompa Body Ass Bitches....I think is the perfect mascot for them.

IT'S coming. Already one school in MS (Caledonia) discussing removing the "confederate" nickname. Just a matter o' time.

I just found this ...

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said his administration will “not even consider” changing the name of any of the 10 Army bases that are named for Confederate Army officers. Two days earlier, Defense Secretary Mark Esper indicated that he was open to a broad discussion of such changes.

“These Monumental and very Powerful Bases have become part of a Great American Heritage, a history of Winning, Victory, and Freedom,” Trump wrote. “The United States of America trained and deployed our HEROES on these Hallowed Grounds, and won two World Wars. Therefore, my Administration will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations.”

To be clear, by "they" he meant people of sound mind and not tinfoil Alex Jones types.

How many people knew those bases (Like Fort Gordon, Fort Bliss, etc.) were named after Confederate soldiers? I certainly didn't - had no idea where the names came from and never thought of it. Seems like you'd have to be somewhat of a major Civil War buff to know such trivia.

there is already an Dixie State in Utah.

I am for changing our flag as long as it is not the Stennis flag. I want it changed for economic reasons. I don't have a problem with moving Confederate Statues to different places as long as they are still displayed somewhere. I am not for changing military bases names. Majority of people don't even know they were named after Confederate General and they are known for the heroic action taken by the soldiers who served there before going off to war. Also they are overplaying their hand. The riots, looting, the taken over of city blocks are becoming associated with the black lives matter movement and what sympathy the movement has gotten is going to be gone very fast if those Democratic Mayors and Governors don't get it under control and fast.

Their name is not gonna help us in recruiting. Most kids don?t give a shit they are named rebels bc most kids arent looking for something to be offended about.

Ole Miss had their chance to fix this - they could have become the Mississippi Rebels with Admiral Ackbar as the mascot.

The best part of them losing "Ole Miss" that no one has mentioned yet, is they would also have to stop that ****ing stupid Hotty Totty chant....unless they changed it up to reflect their new name, which I doubt would happen.

Nah. That school is racist and always wil be. It's in their bones. You can change the name but you will never change the spirit of racism that pervades that institution.
