Oh, no it's a *gasp* raCOON. I'm surprised none of the PC "not sees" from nearby Vassar, Marist or SUNY New Paltz b*tched and complained....yet.

Is a cartoon-like college mascot reminiscent of Daniel Boone -- right down to the legendary coonskin cap -- racist, sexist or otherwise offensive?
Officials at the University of Denver seem to think so. They

Yet these same anti-white idiots will tout diversity as a stregnth
as soon as I saw “coon skin cap” I knew where this was heading...
These anti-white, anti-American hermaphrodites in “higher learning” are an offense to America.
Yeah, that must be why the hawk didn't work - the non-hawk community felt excluded.
Idiots.
“It was really about moving forward,” Theresa Mueller, a spokeswoman for the University of Denver, told FoxNews.com. “The students wanted a new mascot and didn’t want to look towards the past.”
Really? Then why aren't we hearing student voices instead of the usual PC administrator Newspeak?
these people are too stupid to be embarrassed by their ignorance
coon skin cap? Oh REALLY!!
AMEN
and about your tagline. MOST EXCELLENT! :-}
The REAL Daniel Boone did not wear a coonskin cap!!!!

Of course the real Daniel Boone would be even MORE “offensive” to the “human rightser” “diversity” crowd.
PHOOEY to them!!!!
“Boone was a polarizing figure that did not reflect the growing diversity of the UD community”
Assimilate or leave. You, the unassimilating, are the polarizing figures. Become American or leave.
So...they want a mascot with no ties to the past that won’t offend anyone. How about a light gray plastic cube?
The Pioneers replaced their Daniel Boone mascot with a turkey.
My brother doubled-up in laughter when he saw that.
Good idea, they can have it holding a rainbow-colored dildo.
“Boone was a polarizing figure that did not reflect the growing diversity of the UD community, but rather was an image that many women, persons of color, international students and faculty members found difficult to relate to as defining the pioneering spirit,” Chancellor Robert Coombe said in a March letter to the school community.

What a crock of SH!T
That would offend old squares like me.
Their goal is to shame Americans into giving up their own national heritage, in order to make it easier for others to displace our culture and laws, and replace it with a new liberal Left identify.

The new mascot should be JOHN CHIVINGTON! He destroyed the pro-slavery Confederate advance into New Mexico at Glorietta Pass by doing what was thought impossible.
Then he thrashed hostile indians in Colorado.
THAT will get the leftists really screaming!
Replace him with The Fightin’ Whitey!
Just don’t dare question their patriotism!
The straight lines of the cube offend the LGBTBLTGGFRS community.
