The really sad part of all this is that even if we could magically change the name of every "offensive" city, mascot, school, town, etc., it wouldn't make ONE SINGLE BIT OF DIFFERENCE in the lives of anybody. People would still be offended about something else, and just move on to their next "cause."
Exactly! And, where in any of our laws does it say you have the right to NOT be offended? Our first amendment guarantees that someone is going to be offended every time a speech is made or a demonstration is held. That's one of the things that makes our country so great. You have the freedom to say and do most anything. Try that in any communist country or country under a dictator or religious leader. NOT HAPPENING! Get over yourselves with this nonsense.

This is ridiculous! Everything is racist these days. This world is turning for the worst when a Tiger pic is racist. I'm so done with all this crap.

Butt hurt that your 'on the rise' baseball team is backing into the postseason with a long string of impressive losses?
At least State doesn't need to worry about their mascot. It's cute, cuddly, and no one cares.

Progressivism is the lifeblood of The Democratic Party. They have to have this front line Cultural Agitprop to stay relevant. Soros funds it, professional agitators organize the Mob, and the Dems give it legitimacy and cover. Every time you vote D you make " replacement " of American traditions, principles, ideals and Institutions much more likely. The timeless thing you value will be replaced with a Marxist- friendly platitudes and virtue-signaling.
Now here's the good part. The name is just the first part . The entire college football " plantation system" which takes the " unpaid slave labor" of young black males and turns it into entertainment for " racist white men" to benefit huge Universities is next . That's probably a decade out, this is just the initial test volley .

Ignore it. A Tiger is a tiger. While the term tiger may have some Civil War association, the present day association is with a tiger, like a blood thirsty killing cat. When I think of the LSU Tigers there is no association to anything improper. Just a tiger.

I imagine the Hispanics would take issue with this.

When Alleva or F. King start saying "hmm, maybe we should consider this" then you can feel free to go ape shite, and I'll be right there with you.
Only react to those who are empowered to make decisions.

They can mess with a lot of things without a response from this guy but when they try to defile my Tigers, I will rise and sound the battle cry.

Darius, that is YOUR opinion and you are welcome to have it. I totally disagree with you based upon what I feel was the true cause of the Civil War and that those who fought for the SAME reason as mine were in fact heroes. Those statues reminded all of us to stand and fight for what we believe in, something that present day liberals want to eradicate. This is THEM showing YOU that they are in control of your life rather than you. If this is what YOU want, fine, Don't expect others to put up with it.

Has it really gotten to the point where the only thing stupid people can bitch about is whether a tiger is a racist or not? Real life must be extremely difficult for these idiots.
Posted on 5/30/17 at 10:41 am to Darius David
Removing a statue isn't going to change a darn thing. This will satisfy no one. What it will do is embolden the extreme to ask for more, and they won't be satisfied until the very history they are calling to be forgotten is repeated!

You should have never posted this on here or anywhere, dont draw attention to this
I saw this early this morning and thought about posting it but i just let it be because i don't want to draw attention to it

It's just the rent-a-mob left. This is what they do.
Tulane had to close a campus in Covington because they conduct primate research there (and hence have monkeys). The SJWs let loose 1,500 monkeys and DHS shut down the campus and beefed up security.
This is arguably the top AIDS research facility in the nation and the reason HIV and AIDS is no longer a terminal diagnosis.
But to these people the monkeys are more important.
That was nearly a decade ago and there's still a thriving colony of wild monkeys in the Three Rivers area of Covington. I see them occasionally and hear them regularly.
Anyway, the point is that the people starting these petitions are deranged and mentally ill. There is no reasoning with them. The best way to deal with them is to ignore them.
One of the Soros-funded groups is paying for all of it and if everyone ignores them, he spent money for nothing.

What are they going to do when they get 500 petitions?
Posted on 5/30/17 at 11:27 am to Bmath
At least you want get your arse beat that way. You're so intelligent and witty. You could still call them Tigers at your rallys and at home while teaching the kids. Just like always.
