False. The war on drugs was just more subtle about it.

Yeah because it’s republicans tearing down statues and renaming schools, streets and college buildings.



Mostly statues of racists and traitors who fought against the United States, but it probably justifies you melting about LSU hiring a black president.

Nobody said that. Go look at the last 40 years of sentencing disparity and get back with me.

Correlation =/= causation. Do black people commit disproportionately more crimes than whites people and thus have far more interaction with law enforcement?

In his press conference Tate was point blank asked about changing the mascot. He didn’t didn’t say if he wanted to or not. He punted to the committee that will report to BOS about all the names around campus and how they got historically

But I was told we'd need a new mascot board. It's "guaranteed."



He never even knew that was an effort being made by some at yesterday's presser...looked completely taken aback by it. Bookmark some threads, you'll enjoy it later.

Obviously, a political "woke" decision. The question is whether it will be good or bad for LSU? The guy doesn't seem to have the experience needed to run a school this size. So I will have a wait and see attitude.

Seriously do people really believe that anybody supporting LSU would stand for the changing of the mascot name ? can you imagine how much money LSU would lose on that.

Aren't there many other more important priorities for the new school president?

The guy believes in fairy tales.

This is the equivalent to hiring a Pentecostal preacher to manage LSU's fraternities.

It isn't "fear" - it's called facing reality. Have you seen te list of "studies" and articles authored by Tate? If not, you should.

Did LSU change names of buildings? If yes, then its not 100% fear mongering. Its already happened.
