It's a gen-u-wine 1932 Chevrolet ...gasp...CONFEDERATE yesiree bob. They were called "baby Cadillacs" back in the day. I could see some antifag going into a bigger apopletic shock than the sight of a General Lee Charger.

hen Richard Saukko galloped his chalk-white Arabian horse named Traveler around the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum almost 56 years ago, it was supposed to be a one-time stunt.
Instead, the brief performance before USC kicked off its season against Georgia Tech turned into one of college football’s iconic traditions. A succession of white horses named Traveler have followed — Traveler IX debuts this fall — trotting out of the tunnel as “Conquest” plays and the costumed Trojan warrior atop the horse waves a sword. But during a rally earlier this week to show solidarity in the aftermath of the violence in Charlottesville, Va., a USC campus group linked the name to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, whose favorite horse was Traveller.
At the rally, according to the student newspaper the Daily Trojan, Saphia Jackson, co-director of the USC Black Student Assembly, asked students not to be quiet, and reminded that “white supremacy hits close to home” and referenced the name of the Trojans mascot.
The Black Student Assembly did not respond to requests for comment, but questions about the name’s provenance have increased on social media in the midst of the national discussion on race.

Lee read a book. We must remove all books.
Lee ate food. We must remove all food.
See how stupid this can become.
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa.....The rabid leftists are seeing their house of cards come tumbling down and they do not even know it. You reap what you sow.....
The inmates are trying real hard to take over the asylum.
There is only one solution. Give the horse to Antifa and let them kill it in the arena before the next game. They can rip it apart and drag its entrails down the field in victory.
This is really getting out of control. What’s next?
Wow every time I think that’s nuts they are really over playing thier hand this time, they take it to a whole new level of insanity.
The horse needs to be told its racist.
Its white and its name is Traveler.
It should be painted blue and named Larry.

I’d like an opinion from Ben Sissy on this.
A lot of dead people.
Two fries short of a happy meal yet they want to steer the ship?!

If this is a ‘DISCUSSION’, I would like to be a fly on the wall when these fools get into an argument.
To add to ealgeone list of ‘erasures’
Must get West Point destroyed because they trained R E Lee
Must Kick all Chinese out of the country named LEE
Three southern states have schools with Confederate histories: Ole Miss, LSU, and South Carolina.
I assume all of them will be under fire soon.
Racist horses now?
let’s pick on horses today
The comments are somewhat amusing. One person pointed out that the Trojans had slaves, but was corrected by another who said the team was named after the condoms, not the ancient people.
Traveler’s Rest, SC. Renamed to Tubman’s Rest.
Keep poking that seeping dog. We have 8 trillion rounds. They can’t decide which restroom to use.

That’s a good example of their ignorance of history.
Once a Liberal told me that Catholics were bad because the crucified Christ.
That’s a typical heteronormative assumption that the horse is cis-gender. Check your privilege. /s
