This idiocy has hit national news now. Are they messing with the wrong school and mascot, or are they going to get their way? My LSU grad dh says 'no way in hell.' I know it's been discussed recently, but it's now been taken to a new level. And will having the current BR administration make any difference?

Perfect analogy, both as to what can happen and the level of those idiots.

ONce we become Black America it will be fine. Look at other Black nations as pure examples of what we should be like.


Is the motto in South Africa, 'Whitey must die'?

GOAT book and a great allegory for this

Didn't feel that If You Give a Moose a Muffin lived up to the hype though

but 'it's already so hard to be black at LSU.' Is it because they are not given free housing and free safe spaces?

Yes, indeed it is. My close friend is a white refugee from South Africa. The stories she has told me about living in fear as a white child and her father rounding up the family (even the youngest) and telling them what to do in case of an attack by black mobs are spine-chilling.

Petition has 450 signatures.

Not happening.

Also, will be great seeing these people protest at football games this year.

The person who started the petition just added a comment:
quote:


"Get Used To This

JUN 1, 2017 — For years we suffered subtle slights, but soon we will be the majority. It will be up to us to shape our state in our image, not in the image of our former captors.

Wake up black people. Our time has come.

I'm sure THAT will gain them a lot of followers. People are bound to get very mad at them trying to mess with long-established traditions, and I hope they do.

Yeah, I agree that this ridiculous. It's a damn Tiger. Who would associate that with oppression?

Even if the mascot is based on a Confederate regiment, no one makes that association any more. This is faux outrage, IMO.

The heast? That's national news? There's probably a larger amount of crazys that think lsu should be segregated. Let's stop acting like this is an actual thing just cause a few "sjws" tweeted something.

There's an easy solution. Just make sure LSU in its official media and press releases state that LSU is nicknamed the Tigers because Tigers are majestic, furious, apex predator, beautiful animals.
