This isn't just happening in the South. Because it was founded in 1949, California State University Long Beach has called itself the 49ers, symbolized by Prospector Pete, a statue of a nineteenth-century gold seeker. However, the students voted to retire the mascot on the grounds that the prospectors who flocked to California in 1849 were genocidal racists. The student government is currently taking suggestions for a new mascot.

It’s all about tearing down Western Civilization, Confederate Statues are merely the ‘low-hanging fruit.’

The supine students and faculty at the University of Illinois drove Chief Illiniwek into retirement as a racist representation of the former Illini Indians (the Florida Seminoles are okay for some reason). Now, Illinois is considering a new mascot: “Alma Otter.” This childish play on words references the statue of “Alma Mater” on the Champaign campus.

I miss long beach soooo much...the old long beach...oilfields, McDonald Douglas, Navy Base, speeding down the T.I. freeway and crossing over the Commodore Hiem Bridge and looking at the old Ford plant down on the channel... and when el dorado park was a apple orchard
