There is nothing racist in the song.

Fine by this Texan. UT can take it’s whole liberal campus outta Texas and shove it where the sun don’t shine.

What racist undertones?

"The eyes of Texas are upon you" - Massa be watching you. "You cannot get away" - Don't try to run away north off the plantation 'cause the slave catchers will find you. After all, "Don't think you can escape them Night or early morn" because whitey is always watching. /s they may actually have a point here.

Remember in 2016, UT held a protest for “Cocks Not Glocks” and paraded around with giant penises.

It’s always been nothing but a bunch of disgusting morons. I had to go onto campus once back around 2000 and you couldn’t walk down Speedway because all the Muslims were out hollering and shaking their fists in everyone’s face.

Offer links for each to the transfer portal. It’s the only option.

And the University of Texas band takes the field playing “I’ve been working on the railroad”.

Doesn't that offend Chinese people?

“Donating 0.5 percent of the athletics department’s annual earnings to “black organizations and the BLM movement””

Stupid.

“Replacing “The Eyes of Texas” as the school’s alma mater with “a new song without racist undertones” while lifting the requirement for players to sing the song after games.”

How about Gosudarstvenny Gimn Rossiyskoy Federatsii?

A little tough to learn but it would fit where they are going with all this nonsense.

“James Hogg Auditorium”

Jim Hogg, governor of Texas, named his daughter, “Ima.”
