Reveille

quote:

When you come and tell me you have people who are frustrated, I say to you, ‘Have you actually gone out and asked people do they really even know what these names are?’” Tate said. “Because most don't, including Middleton, which I was very surprised, given all the things that have been related to that.”


Does this mean the Middleton's get their s**t back?

ask 100 campus lefties who Troy Middleton was in 2015, and 100 of them will have no answer.

ask 100 campus lefties who Troy Middleton was in 2021, and half wont know and the other half will know only that he was an alleged racist.


woke culture is the problem.

I have to say, it’s early, but I think the Tate fears may have been unfounded… at least on the face of things.

Finally someone who gets it. There are a lot of things that need to be done concerning systemic racism, but renaming buildings and removing statues should be so low on that list. It does virtually nothing except piss off half of the people.

I've been saying for a long time that the only way to truly beat leftism is for leaders who are perceived to be leftists to speak common sense to the left.

Remember this? Obama Challenges "Woke" Culture

It persuaded more lefties than 10,000 Tucker Carlson monologues.

They don't listen to a word us conservatives say. They think we're all stupid rednecks.

This guy has a pretty well-documented history of being a delusional radical, he’s not really fooling anyone

A quote like this is only made through his teeth in the interest of fundraising

So is everyone on this committee black? Looked up Woodson and Bowman and they definitely are... And wtf does "Blackout LSU" mean? I know what it meant when I was in school But I get the feeling it means something much worse for this.

Galligan did more damage as an interim president than Tate or any full time president did or will, excepting the Fking Alexandar shmuck....
