Wilson also was an avowed segregationist. He once said that "the whole temper and tradition of the place are such that no negro has ever applied for admission," according to the committee report. It added that when a black student in 1909 asked about applying, Wilson said "that it is altogether inadvisable for a colored man to enter Princeton."

The name “Princeton” is itself racist as it is steeped in the cult of British royalty, the epitome of white privilege.

The town had been known as “Princetown” and “Prince’s Town” before settling on Princeton.

Will the university change its name?

Yale is named after Elihu Yale, slave trader.

Elihu was a big time racist slave trader, con man and criminal.

Wilson’s rabid racism was a well-kept Democrat Party secret for decades—guess they are ready to become the Donner Party.

He was a role model for the racist progressive party.

The tables will be turned when we nail the Clintons to one for their connections with the KKK $inators.
