Lafayette County Board of Supervisors tells cultural marxists from Ole Miss to GTFO

Lafayette County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to NOT move the confederate statue erected in memory of the county's young men who perished in the Civil War. The little offended Orwellian's and their faculty enablers/agitators have gone apoplectic, organizing a protest and promoting a boycott at one of the supervisor's family business today, an established grocery store that's been in Oxford for decades. It didn't go as planned as from all accounts business today was 10x normal
The backstory to all this begins with what happened with the Confederate monument on campus. The spineless cowards relented to the little cultural Marxists demands to relocate this monument to the confederate cemetery on the edge of campus. After a lengthy process of getting approval to move a historic relic from the college board and satisfying state monument law requirements they were given the green light. Expecting to see them basking in the victory of their goals to divide the campus and further destroy any semblance of a formerly beloved school by so many, they did the opposite. They were furious after artist renderings leaked showing a lit walkway and grave markers naming the several hundred there in unmarked graves. Also, the blacks from Lafayette County who fought with Union forces are going to be recognized. Screaming it was a "shrine to the Confederacy", the little "scholars' staged another protest. (Everyone knows the real reason of their fury. It's to be well lit (per state law) with 24-hour camera surveillance. This makes it harder for one of the little Einsteins to avoid catching a felony when one of them tries to destroy it.
There is one silver lining to all of this.
I truly believe this has been the tipping point for a HUGE number of Ole Miss alumni and supporters. It's not as much the relocation of the monument per se. This was the final straw after many years of seeing the school slip away. I've had numerous conversations with probably 10 to 12 alumni over the past month. Every one of them, save one, have canceled their season's tickets for all sports, stopped all donations and do not intend to offer any support at all going forward. Of these people, two of them have friends from the Coast and Nashville that are selling their second homes in Oxford because they are over it. Three of these people have children or grandchildren currently at Ole Miss that are transferring to State. One lady told me her family had gone to OM for five generations and her grandson and three of his fraternity brothers were transferring. She said they have had season tickets for 45 years and have given the University close to $750,000 but no more. These people are through. Just don't care anymore. It's hard to still have much passion for a place that is totally unrecognizable to former students over the age of 35 All this is anecdotal, for sure, but I have NEVER encountered such as this in all my years. It makes the 2003 Colonel Reb fiasco look like a bad day. If this disgust is as broad as I think it might be, it might be the only thing that can save the school. I'm afraid it's too late though. We've only sold 25,000 season tickets. In Lane Kiffin's inaugural year. That's half of what should have been sold. Enrollment has also been in steep decline for half a decade now. It's really going to be accelerated this year, maybe double or triple last year's decline. Ole Miss has reaped what's sown though. They've alienated the vast majority of people who love the place and who financially keep it going to appease a few. (Some of the black students even admitted the confederate iconography had never bothered them until "someone explained it more clearly why they should be upset". It's bittersweet yet cathartic to me and many others to watch it burn to the ground.
5 to O vote to not participate in the Great Cultural Purge of 2020

What are your thoughts on Antifa/BLM, Toddy?

Toddy’s distaste for Marxism is greater than any distaste for trump.

He like the rest of us have had enough of this shite.

I’ve never seen such a transformation of a grown man such as this. Welcome aboard the train Toddy and I’m also glad that Ole Miss is standing up to the wokeness as well while still pleased we changed the flag.

I think their goal is to destroy this country and by extension, Western civilization and thought. They have created a perfect storm that has given birth to the Great Cultural Purge of 2020, which with diabolical precision will attempt to destroy, cancel, ruin anything in its way not deemed acceptable. I also think the few places that (hopefully) endure the shaming and attempts to destroy them will be regarded as national treasures when historians one day look back on this. Any place that still has a relic that connects our past ( a single surviving statue of a Founding Father, a name whose origins were in ire of The Mob. Even a lone memorial to dead young men who died centuries earlier., History is replete with occasions such as this when the 'enlightened", out of vengeance or vindication (depending on one's perspective) tried to erase history by destroying historical relics and cultural institutions to placate delicate sensibilities. History also never remembers these events nor their participants (no matter how noble they perceived their actions) in a positive light. Quite the opposite.

Yep, remember the election of Trump was a frick you to Republicans too. There's a whole lot of rats in that party.

oddy. Wtf happened to you?
TBH, it's been slowly simmering in me for a while as I watched my beloved alma mater have it's identity slowly and surely in incremental steps, destroyed. When these freaks started whining about the very thing they demanded (monument relocation) and it unbelievably coincides with the BLM/Antifa bullshite, it was impossible to deny what is happening. This is NOT about confederate statues. This is about destroying this nation. I will not stop fighting this bullshite now until I breathe my last breath. Yes, I'm serious.

out of vengeance
It’s always been about revenge. This is why I don’t understand self hating whites. They hate them too.

I accidentally downvoted your post. Thank you. And yes, the flag had to be changed. That is completely different than what's happening with everything else. The flag did more harm than good. Thankfully, all of the other upset OM people I've met feel the same way.

Of course, it has. They clamor around the "vindication that society has changed" bullshite.

Lol I can't wait until you are forced to ditch "Ole Miss" and "Rebels" couldn't happen to a better fanbase
Posted on 7/10/20 at 10:24 pm to Toddy
I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed this statue ... too busy trying to find a parking spot on the square and not hit a pedestrian
Posted on 7/10/20 at 10:26 pm to Toddy
Didn't the "ole miss" brigade (company, whatever it was called) all perish in the war?

You are officially my favorite ghey on the board
