Not I. We’ve had football season tickets for 30 years. My parents have had season tickets since my late father played football at Ole Miss from 1952 to 1956. Sadly, both my mother and my wife and I have decided not to renew our tickets or make anymore donations to the university. The Ole Miss that we once knew and loved is no longer. It wasn’t racist, it was just Southern.

I like you like the D’Souza and Beck version of history cause it’s simple and easy for you

But our favorite conservatives of that era opposed the civil rights. Rap as well

They are not ding this to erase Democrat history

That’s silly

23,000+ students at Ole Miss. 47 student politicians vote unanimously.

Guess what? When those 23,000+ students chose not to run for Student Senate, or to even vote for the Student Senate, they made their choice.

Apathy is the enemy of democracy.

I have only recently learned it. The more I learn about the civil war, the more I understand why they did everything they could to cover up many unpleasant facts that contradict the dominant narrative.

The bulk of Lincoln's cabinet told him that if he sent those ships, it would result in a war. Major Anderson himself, when he found out about it, said this action by Lincoln was going to result in a war.

This business of calling it a "Supply Mission" was just bullsh*t propaganda for the benefit of the Northern states who might not have gone along with his agenda had they realized this "Supply Mission" consisted of mostly Warships with orders to attack if they were resisted.

The Northern public heard "supply mission" and "sending bread to Anderson", but the reality was that it was a direct and deliberate military provocation against the defenders of Charleston.

Republicans started the war. Republicans didn’t want people going free. Republicans were terrible bigots in the north. They also killed innocent Indians to have the land. Republicans also had slaves and were the slave runners in the US. Republicans stopped the south and others from banning the slave trade before the war started. The New England states always fought for the slave trade.

Yeah, still alive. We need some sanctuary property where these monuments can be moved to and preserved from these idiots trying to rewrite history. I’m certain there would be no lack of donations for such a project - so long as the cowardly half aren’t revealed.

So many FRiends want to hang modern liberalism on old Democrats but it just doesn’t wash. If it were 1860, I sure wouldn’t be a Republican. But I’m one now and I’m sure not a Howard Baker Repub. I’m a Jesse Helms Repub.

Greetings from Lee County, Alabama WarDaddy.

The Confederate Monument belongs to the taxpayers and citizens of Mississippi, not the students of Ole’ Miss. Push comes to shove, the snowflakes need their butts kicked in a court of law. Ole’ Miss’ administration needs to be reminded of who pays their salaries.
