Why would a 17-18 yr old African American want to play here again?
why would anyone even want to go anywhere near there?
Yeah, I made a comment on this earlier. I didn't know if it had been posted on here.
I agree, I don't see why anyone much less an African American, would want to willingly call themselves a "rebel." The University of Mississippi is making a habit of these "incidents." #flagship #faithbased
Website won't load for me. What's it say?
Someone needs to add this "incident" to the list!
What incident? Web page won't load.
HottyToddy.com must have pulled their articleQuote:

African American Ole Miss Student Attacked in The Retreat Complex
Posted on February 20, 2014 with 0 Comments
An African American Ole Miss student and resident of the Retreat Cottage Community in Oxford was doused with an alcoholic beverage and called a “black ******” by unidentified passengers in a black truck around 8 p.m. Monday.
Oxford Police think the incident might be linked to the defacement of the statue of James Meredith on campus early Sunday morning.
The incident occurred at the Retreat, which is a 668-bed community at 2405 Anderson Road, about a mile from the Ole Miss campus. It’s populated almost entirely by Ole Miss students.
Kiesha Reeves, a third-year senior and participant in the Honors College program, says her roommate returned to the residence describing a black truck full of drunken people yelling racial slurs.

Kiesha Reeves describes a racial attack.
A while later as Reeves was retrieving her phone charger from her car, she heard a vehicle approaching with loud yelling and laughing. Partially out of her car now, she saw the black truck speeding toward her and then observed a shadowed passenger hurling liquid at her face. Moving quickly she avoided most of the spray, but said some got on her shirt and she determined it was an alcoholic drink.
“It all happened so fast and I was so shocked that I couldn’t really see any faces, only the outline of the black truck,” she said. “I heard the laughter and words ‘black ******’ very distinctly,”
Reeves said she immediately called her aunt (an Ole Miss grad who serves as a mentor and adviser to Reeves) and father, who urged her to call the police. Reeves said this is the first time since arriving at Ole Miss that she has been made to feel unwelcome.
Oxford Police Officer Cody Pruitt arrived within 15 minutes and initiated the investigation. He confirmed that Reeves could not precisely identify the truck or the driver or passengers beyond the truck’s black color. When told that the truck had exited the complex on Anchorage Road heading into Lafayette County, Pruitt told Reeves that he could not pursue the vehicle into the County without a positive identification.
Detective Jeff McCutchen of the Oxford Police Department confirmed that Oxford policemen aren’t authorized to conduct searches outside of the city limits outside of “hot pursuit” situations, but added that his department took Ms. Reeves complaint very seriously.
“I can’t say that we’ve had any more complaints about the Retreat than any other residential complex, but we recognize that the facility is full of college kids.” he said. “This occurred on a long weekend, partying does go on and traffic is increased by friends coming in for the long weekend. We want to be vigilant in protecting the safety of the retreat residents.”
Reeves says she received a call from Detective Hardie Meeks of OPD on Feb.18 getting her version of events. According to Reeves and confirmed by McCutchen, Meeks said that a connection might exist between the Reeves incident and the defacement of the James Meredith statue on Sunday morning. The detective invited Reeves to come to the police station and view some photographs of truck to allow police to narrow down their search.
“We don’t know that there is any connection, but in cases like this we would be irresponsible not to run down every lead,” Detective McCutchen said.
Reeves says that the racial atmosphere in the Retreat development is hostile at times. She recalls an occurrence where a young white man walking down the sidewalk toward where Reeves and her roommate were sitting outside their residence spit on the ground near them. Reeves adds he then said, “”You can’t live here, you’re black.”
HottyToddy.com contacted the local Retreat Cottage Community and the corporate headquarters in Memphis and has been unable to reach anyone for comment.
Despite the random racial hostility she has experienced, Reeves says she loves Ole Miss. The criminal justice major who minors in African American studies, says she has seen more good than bad when it comes to racial progress. “I have white friends and I love my teachers, my scholarship opportunity as a Lucky Day Scholar, my field of study and this beautiful campus. I think these kind of incidents reflect the battle to find balance between those who don’t want the university to change and those who want it to progress.”
Reeves is from what she describes as a tough town, Europa, Miss., 30 miles from Starkville. She was inspired by her Aunt Michelle as a child who graduated from Ole Miss, earned her masters and now teaches at Ittawamba Community College. Michelle Reeves attended Ole Miss classes with her niece on her knee, but she advised Kiesha to go to an all-black college instead of her Alma Mater.
Kiesha didn’t follow her aunt’s advice, but she does hope to emulate her mentor as a civil rights activist. Kiesha says her goal is to someday become a civil rights attorney.

Jesus Christ, I mean seriously, how much bad press can a single school get in a 2 week period? Whats next? Zeus is definitely letting the world know 'he hate ****s the shit' (in the words of Randal Graves) out of Confederate U.
How long until they drop "Ole Miss" and "Rebels"?
The world would be a better place when they do, whether the anti-PC people want to admit it or not.
"Rebels" will get dropped within 10 years.
I think some of these recent incidents is going to force their hand to drop Rebels sooner rather than later.Quote:

For those of us that have done marching band, try to imagine a college band whose guard has rebel flags for their banners, and all the uniforms are pseudo-confederate unis. Seriously? wow...
Make no mistake...this is their identity. This is who they are. The only way they can shed that identity, is to shed all the all the names, banners, and join the rest of the country in the real world. As much as they may hate it, the South lost the ****ing war. Get the **** over it!
Won't happen. They are still fighting the bears.Quote:

Yup. Horrible.
Has this been reported in the Clarion Ledger?
Probably but they wont print anything until it gets picked up by the national media. The NYTimes was the first to report the LawsuitQuote:

I am not saying it happened but dang I do know people do take advantage of situation to get attention.
you're quickly on your way to bannation as your intent here is becoming obvious.Quote:

Anyone who can't respect that, and maliciously disrespects that, deserves to be taken out back of the wood shed.
It seems like every time there's a racial incident at OM it is quickly followed by another incident. I don't know if this is some show of defiance by the students or just a coincidence. If I remember right, there was a student at OM around the last presidential election who's truck was vandalized with racial slurs. I believe he left the school over it.
But don't lose sight of one thing - this imagery they embraced for so long (and most still do) is what made them the most popular university in this state for most of last century. I know and still know friends and family that call ole miss "their" school and pull for the rebels and never attended there. Why? Because of that damn rebel flag and what it means. And I'll bet most of you know people just like this. That's why they held onto the imagery of the old south for so long and to this day struggle with really seperating themselves from it.Quote:

I'm kind of getting sick and tired of these little racist dickheads coming to Mississippi(because they can't get into a state school), and spreading their BS over here... I know they're probably OM students, but these peckerheads were raised in Georgia more than likely... It hurts the entire state of Mississippi when sh!t like this happens, at least on a national level(hell ESPN can't even get our schools straight)... If I remember correctly... wasn't the kkk group that showed up on OM's campus a Georgia and Tennessee branch or something like that...? I don't know.. Thank God it's OM and not us, that's all I have to say really... OM's image makes them a magnet for the racists to keep fighting their fight, but I kind of wish some of these assholes would just stay out of OUR STATE.
I'm not taking up for OM, because I hate them... They have plenty of racism, it just get annoyed with racists and kkk members from other states use Mississippi as their battleground... Our state has enough problems, we don't need any more...
the more important question... why do you think they gravitate to Ole Miss???Quote:

Very true PH.... one thing I did not know is how badly Meredith wants his likeness out of that shitty town. It is really sad when the only racial icon you have ever had attend your school now wants his statue taken down. He said it is an insult to him and God to have that statue in oxford.Quote:

Ignore the indisputable facts that 911 was called, an ambulance took them to the hospital, he was knocked unconscious, he had seizures. But George Zimmerman appeared fine after two days after his incident. Then the pictures came out form the night of the incident.......
That's my thinking on this as well- they can say "these people aren't even from Mississippi" all they want, but the real question is, why are all these idiot racists going to UM instead of other places?Quote:

Wow... Not much to say...Quote:
