Our side should do the same for every mascot or team name they come up with.
Sorry, the truncated headline threw off my search and I just posted the same thing...
Libtards won’t be happy until they have a vagina mascot with rainbow hair and a “vote for Bernie” tattooed on the side.
Embarrassingly stupid. Why exactly do we continue to fund "higher education"? Just another example of how degrees are increasingly not worth the paper they are printed on - people being "educated" in places like this are becoming (more) stupid, not smart.
My advice would be when you have a choice, do not invest or buy from CA. Those people suck really bad and they hate white folk, hate America and they want to control everything you do. The truth is, they’re the biggest racist of all.
Eff that state.
Better log off of FR, then.
What about all the city and place names from the Spanish colonial era: San Francisco, San Diego, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, San Jose, Santa Barbara, and hundreds of others? Will they have to be changed? Will the Spanish missions need to be torn down? Don’t bet against it.
I was always partial to the UC Santa Cruz “Banana Slugs”. Plenty of mirth and irony in that student selection!
I believe it's already being considered. These assholes want to destroy and tear down our language, our monuments, our history, our flag, our borders and sovereignty. They want to destroy America. If people have no figured this out by now, they never will.
They’ll get around to “Cowboys” eventually.
Can’t we come to some kind of compromise on this?
The school keeps the mascot, and at halftime they burn up a wagon?
"A literal dozen loudmouths complained, which means it was actively offending 200 million Americans!"
Log off? I don’t need to invest or buy into CA to visit Free Republic. WTF are you talking about?
eventually the cultural identarian left will go after MLK jr. this is a group that relies on consensus and mob think. with in this group is a group of narcistic sociopaths that get off on changing things in society. when they can tear something down that is a part of cultures norm they get off and will claim that they are the ones that did it.
Indigenous people are offensive with their scalpings and slavery.
University of Long Beach supports past slavery.
It’s OK to be racist against whitey.
I just returned to California for the first time in 12 years. I couldn’t wait to get outta there!
As more or less stated elsewhere, our colleges are basically publicly subsidized housing for the mildly retarded.
For those who don’t know, Cal State Long Beach (It will always be Long Beach State to me) was founded in 1949. That’s why they picked the ‘49er as their mascot. The gold rush was a very long way from Long Beach, but in 1949 Californians still took pride in their history and their foundation as a state. The gold rush made California a state—not the ‘indigenous people’ nor the relatively few Mexicans living in the state, who preferred to be called ‘Spanish’. The Spanish did found what became the cities through the string of missions established by Junipero Serra
The trend today is to condemn the Spanish missionaries, behead statues of Serra and view the Gold Rush as a terrible event that destroyed the environment and the culture of California Indians who wove really nice baskets.
