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 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:
