Why did they enroll if it’s such a racist institution?

How about a civil rights complaint against the Oxford English Dictionary. It is replete with racist words, language, and insinuations.

So a group that doesn’t allow white people in it is claiming racism...

Every “ university “ is guilty of some perceived outrage by the terminally offended.

It’s as predictable as night following day.

“Your honor, these Woke people deliberately make an effort to find things to be offended by. In some cases it is how they earn a living. They are not oppressed, they’re race grievance hustlers. People who have time to feel oppressed by microaggressions are not oppressed at all, not even one jot.”

… is how arguments should proceed.

So what! My school, the University of Pittsburgh’s alma mater is sung to the melody of “Deutschland, Deutschland uber alles,” the Nazi theme song. It’s been the alma mater for over a hundred years.

I think it was originally a Haydn opus.

I once did know a President,
Away down South, in Texas.
And, always, everywhere he went,
He saw the eyes of Texas.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the live long day.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
You can not get away.
Do not think you can escape them
At night or early in the morn
The Eyes of Texas are upon you
‘Till Gabriel blows his horn.
Sing me a song of Prexy,
Of days long since gone by.
Again I seem to great him
And hear his kind reply.
Smiles of gracious welcome
Before my memory rise,
Again I hear him say to me,
“Remember Texas’ Eyes.”

Apparently this has been a concern in recent years, a claimed connection to Robert E Lee was debunked by review of primary source material. The only direct connection is it debuted during a fund raising minstrel show that was common at the time. Is that the song’s fault? Personally I find the Big Brother imagery evoking lyrics to be creepy but it just means I don’t need to attend. Easy fix.

College students are often moved to resist tradition and want to reshape institutions. At my alma mater there was a culture of harassment of minorities. I played a role in reform but I look back decades later and see the generations since didn’t just build on the work we did, they have undermined the positive parts of the institution’s culture in the name of “woke.” It’s not the only institution to go that way.

Back in the day, those of us working for good just wanted fellow students to be safe from violence, threats of violence, secure in their persons and property so we could all focus on the education we were paying considerable tuition to get.

When woketards claim something is racist, simply tell them it isn’t, and to mind their own business. When they refuse, a punch in the nose should be forthcoming.

Does anyone know what happened to the statue of Lawrence Sullivan Ross at the Texas A&M Campus? There was a recent leftist demand to have it removed, since he was once a general in the Confederate Army.

“despite its racially offensive origin, context and meaning.”

From what I read about the past controversy, the referenced “context and meaning” seem to exist in the vivid imagination of those looking an excuse to be aggrieved.

Companies fixed “racist” connections last year by removing black representation from product packaging that for generations has meant tasty food. I still wonder who those folks are to undermine the legacy of Nancy Green, a former slave, who traveled around originating the part of Aunt Jemima. A woke college student told me he didn’t want to be reminded of those times. Reminded? His grandparents weren’t even around then. Who taught him those associated connections? What did it benefit him? What did they gain other than to keep him on a political plantation and help him feel “less than.” Ironically, he doesn’t seem to mind slave labor making his clothes or tech products.

The University of Texas has been a POS liberal cesspool for a very long time. But it is never enough. I wish they would wake up and abolish all their grievance studies crap and tell the liberals to go to hell.

20 years since 9/11 and this is what we have become. Much of America is no better than the Taliban in core concepts. I hate conspiracy but I now truly believe there are forces who used 9/11 to fundamentally change America into that coveted new world order and reset that is on going.
