re: LSU Student groups want to rename more buildings - OT called it

It’s about not honoring the racist past.

Same
Why is this a priority?

“Murphy J. Foster and John Parker weren’t Confederates but they weren’t the most savory of individuals and certainly not worthy of such high profile recognition on the LSU campus,” Dickinson said. Renew LSU is a coalition student groups, including the LSU chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers, the LSU Student Government Senate, the Black Leadership Council, the Clarence Barney African American Cultural Center, the Society of African and African American Studies and the LSU chapter of Zeta Phi Beta sorority. Their aim is to have LSU better reflect the diverse student population.

Buwahahahaha

LSU is the SJW of the SEC, long passing Missouri up to take that honor.

Are the slave picking cotton murals still in Allen Hall?

Yes, they are considered "folk art"

I laugh at and weep for you at the same time.

Hopefully, someone in BR grows some balls and stops this nonsense.

It is a sad time when a small group of people dictate cultural policy to everyone because they're offended over an imaginary boogeyman.

is there a "savory character" index we can use to determine who is "savory" and who is "unsavory"

Jeaux, who is completely innocent? Maybe not racist but a drunk? Maybe not a drunk but was a sexual deviant? Not that but instead was a xenophobe?

Who makes the call? Where do we start? Where does it end?

Exactly. What's crazy is that actual racists are trying to get buildings renamed right now.

So the SJWs hypothetically get Foster changed to Gary Chambers Food Science Center. They're changing the name from an imperfect human to an actual racist. The difference is, this racist is black, so it's cool. How fricked up is that?

You'll never find someone who is perfect. However, changing a name from someone who isn't perfect to someone who is actually a piece of shite (as they surely will try to do), is ridiculous.
