Change the Racist Mascot of LSU! - Updated Pg. 6
Posted on 5/29/17 at 5:52 pm

quote:
Louisiana State University named their mascot the Tigers, and they named it during the height of Jim Crow South. This was a time when black men feared for their lives, and were treated as sub human.
quote:
These powerful white males choose the Tiger as a symbol to honor a confederate regiment called Louisiana's Tigers. They were known for their propensity for violence on and off the battle field. They were just as violent to the black slaves they owned, and later even more violent once those slaves were set free.
quote:
It is incredibly insulting for any African American to have to attend to a school that honors confederate militantism. It is already hard enough to be black at LSU, and these symbols must be changed. We must speak truth to power, and continue to march toward justice. That day is coming, the day when every symbol of white oppression is torn down.

Can you imagine the amount of salivation coming from Mayor Brooms, John Bel Edwards and Mitch Landrieu right about now?

That's the problem right here.. People not fighting it and letting the people who are offended by any little thing have their way. Well, I am offended by the idea of this.

As much as I fear SJWs doing something like this, I'm suspicious some ole baw from the OT wrote it.
