I will henceforth be know as 'plain white vanilla'
Oh this is so much better. Wow, at last, we can all get back to being offended with each other. Good that this is all past and we have no more reason to be offended.
The Red Guards march onward...................
South Carolina is where this ball got rolling, everybody thank Nimrata Randhawa.
They want to make the young people in this country ashamed of our history. There won't have to be a war. The next generation will fall over like dominos.
I will henceforth be know as 'plain white vanilla'
So sayeth the systemic racists.
Could renaming buildings become a legal issue for institions?
I really hope people learn not to donate or give endowments to any colleges, since they obviously hate the American people.
The Millard Fillmore Student Center will be renamed the Mallard Fillmore Student Center.
Mildred Pierce was unavailable for comment.
To most people, of all races, passing these “symbols” means zip, zilch, nada TODAY. Their symbolic importance is always merely symbolic of the time they were made, and zero else, and notice by no one but trouble making history revisionist academics. They have zero to do with “systemic racism”.
“...create a welcoming environment for all.”
Such patent BS. I am really offended by historical revisionists who want to destroy the country, our Founders and national heroes.
No school that does this is welcoming me. So how the HELL is this this “creating a welcoming environment for all” if I, and tens of millions of others like me, are not welcome there?
Leftist garbage. Don’t they ever think their actions are doing the exact opposite of what they claim?
Franklin Pierce COllege will be dismantled ?
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be SUNY students.
Millard Fillmore was President of the United States and Chancellor of the University of Buffalo.
If UB wants to “cancel” him, why don’t they just cancel themselves, and dissolve the whole University! PHOOEY!!!!
Does this mean they're going to end Affirmative Action for student admissions and faculty promotions?
Whoops - better find some place new to get well: https://doctor.webmd.com/hospital/millard-fillmore-suburban-hospital-buffalo-ny-13640ffb-8547-4b24-b770-8535164db9bb-physicians#addiction-medicine
Students: “Millard who?”.
Millard Fillmore-—now there’s a center of red hot controversy. Mention his name at a local bus stop or bar and watch out for a knife being pulled, if not a few shots fired.
How many can even place him in history? Who has heard of him?
I have the complete set of the American Presidents biographies by Times books. The one for Fillmore is by Paul Finkelman (2011) who said his good side showed in sending Commodore Perry to open Japan to the West. His bad was to cater to the South and alienate fellow Whigs, leading to the splitting of that party and his attempt to get re-elected in the anti-Catholic Know Nothing Party (he lost). Supposedly he hastened the momentum toward the Civil War. He enforced the Fugitive Slave Act and “his neighbors in Buffalo considered him a traitor in the Civil War.”
So how many FReepers and your relatives and friends have a book about Millard Fillmore on their shelves? I’m such a braggart.
