Well, its about time.
After some Confederate statue-topplings, but before any Confederate book burnings, California protesters are now targeting a horse. A beautiful Arabian.
The creatures unforgivable crime? His name is similar to the horse ridden by Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee 152 years ago, Traveler. Only Lees horse used two LsTraveller.
Traveler is the official mascot of the University of Southern California. With a sword-waving, faux warrior in the saddle, he gallops all over the home field whenever the USC Trojan football team scores, which its expected to do a lot this season.
Unless you went to Notre Dame, Travelers majestic Saturday romps are actually a beautiful sight, the large muscular animal moving effortlessly over the turf, its long pure tail flying straight out in a breeze of his own making.
But somehow apparently the graceful creature got caught up in the ongoing racial debate about motionless statues to ancient Americans who fought for, supported or ruled in favor of the old South and slavery.
See, Traveler is white. All white. Supremely white.
Last week, a USC group staged a campus rally to show solidarity with Eastern groups just discovering the Civil Wars legacy.

Scuse me
My daughter attended USC and I know a damned sight more about the school and its history than you do obviously. It is a private university and anyone who effs with Traveler is gonna meet with a ton of resistance
As to your snotty comment about 1 alum there are far more good ones, 1 bad apple does not tarnish the whole school

Sorry, didn't mean to trigger you. Ooops! another horse name.
Glad to see OJ has at least one fan.
You and Antifa agree that having an opinion depends on who you are.
Well, as a Notre Dame fan, I would always be more than happy for Traveler to throw his rider into the mud (notwithstanding his “long pure tail flying straight out in a breeze of his own making.” BARF!), and I would also suggest the high improbability of the ancient Trojans fighting on horseback (maybe a horse-drawn chariot or two, but the Trojan horse was, uh, Greek). However, I would also object vociferously to the re-naming of this particular horse, however misspelled, for such an absurdly politicized reason. Poor Traveler. Alas. Don’t these people have anything better to do?
LOL!!! He farts so loud it blows his tail out?
LOL!!!!!!!!!! :-)
The Antifa don’t shoot horses!
They stab them with nails sticking out of the end of 2 x 4’s.
Well, the Romans had slaves (although every civilization I have studied had slaves), so OFF WITH HIS HEAD! Wait, a headless horse, where can we put it?
