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.

My middle name is Robert. Come and get me bitches.
Time to ban the Democrat party, the party of slavery.
Then, let’s ban blacks since they sold white trader their fellow black into slavery.
We need to ban everyone one named Robert or Lee as they may be secret admirers of deceased Confederate Robert E. Lee!
They must have reservoirs of knowledge...
Sheila Jackson Lee couldn’t be reached for comment...
She must change her name. She can be Sheila Ulysses Grant.
Idiots! Let them protest themselves into further obscurity.
Good point “Sheila Jackson Lee” is a double white racist. She must be removed from Congress for being a white racist who has duped her black constituents and change her racist name.
USC eventually wised up and kept that f***g nag clear of the UCLA cheering section. BTW, weren’t commie sympathizers called “Fellow Travelers”?
Books are filled with words, so is the internet. That goes, too. People speak words.
Stupid enough, yet?

Sheila Jackson LEE.....ban her!
Good as it should stay on the SC side.
From Webster’s dictionary:
Definition of fellow traveler
: a person who sympathizes with and often furthers the ideals and program of an organized group (such as the Communist party) without membership in the group or regular participation in its activities; broadly : a sympathetic supporter of another’s cause
Even worse, the Horses Head was left in the Jewish Producers Bed.
Time to Ban Italians, they obviously hate Blacks and are Anti Semites to boot.
Cut out the middlexher, ban anyone that uses words, much less quibbling, especially as quibbling requires words.
Sick, stupid, insane.
