I think temple has earned the hate given his push and threats against LSU that led to johnny jones getting the head coach job

I especially love the part where he handpicked our current coach who has run the program into the ground. Good stuff.

No link. It's pretty common knowledge, however.

What does this have to do with how Collis Temple was treated as a student at LSU?

He wasn't. His name will be on the basketball arena for eternity, as it should be.

He was white...of course he was racist.

Also, love how they labeled David Duke a "white nationalist" in the article.

David Duke labels himself a 'white nationalist'.

You and the other guy with the racial innuendo questioned why the downvotes...I was providing one explanation.

That's a recent term, no? I doubt very seriously that is what he called himself at LSU.

"Avowed racist" or "fledgling klan member" might have been better.
