They want to get rid of the Thomas Jefferson statue? Do they realize there is a huge memorial to TJ in DC? Do they realize he founded UVA? If UVA doesn't have a problem w/ TJ, Mizzu shouldn't either

Nah, he didn't build that.

Because institutions of higher learning are bastions of liberalism. The liberals hate TJ for all the reasons being stated. He was a racist slave owner. Doesn't matter that he was a founding father of this country. Besides, don't we have a president now that is ashamed of this very same country?

Not all liberals. I know some pretty legit moderate liberals. It is the very illiberal progressive group that wants to whitewash history and censor people's thoughts and speech to protect the fee fees.

Crazies are running the asylum. Since when do subordinates have a president fired because they don't like the way he handles things? It's crazy. Should the CEO of the company you work for get fired because a few employees don't like the way he handles problems? The new narrative in the US. Sickening.

By the way, trying to debate a liberal, socialist, progressive, or Democrat (they are all the same now) in anything is futile because they lack intellectual honesty.

Maybe you lack the intellectual capacity to understand the nuances of different beliefs even within a shared political party.

All conservatives and Repubs aren't the same. Some are concerned about religious and social issues. Some are about fiscal issues. Same with those you don't agree with. Many different points of view and ideologies.

It is the "progressives" that get all the press though. Squeaky wheel and all

They didn't have the right to invade United States military installations and kill US troops. Those acts of treason started the war. They left the United States and fought against the United States. Traitors. No other way to spin it. East Tennesseans agreed.

Buy a history book and have someone read it to you. The Confederate States of America was a sovereign nation. You damn Yankees showed up at Fort Sumter and begged for it.

They kinda control the press at this point. Trust me, I've spend the past year being told I'm worse than Hitler because I think there should be some damn ethical standards in video game journalism of all things.

I don't think they want the president to stop people from using racial slurs. They seem to want the president to stand up for racial equality and say that this is not what the University is about. They want Mizzou to set the example for its own students who are acting racist. They want to be respected, not thrown under the rug.

They want him to admit his white priviledge

Don't go down the #GamerGate rabbit hole. You will hate your life the more you try to get through all of the cries of sexism and harassment by the mainstream media because games journalists don't know how to properly disclose relationships.

A promoter of black supremacy and separation of blacks and whites, rather than integration, is somehow different than white supremacist?

You said "more extreme". Lynching on the reg seems a little more extreme than "promoting black supremacy", but maybe that's just me.

I'm from Knoxville. Not a yankee. But I guess since East TN was anti Confederacy and anti secession you could technically be right.

I am well aware of the War and its causes. The traitors were upset Lincoln was the president-elect so they invaded US forts and killed US soldiers.

Traitor sympathizers love to revise history. The states were not blocked from seceding. We, The United States, sent in troops after a United States fort was attacked and United States troops were killed.

The buzz on twitter is that Mizzou President Wolfe is going to release a statement soon...

You are correct. Republicans drove the Civil Rights movement. The Republican and Democrat parties today have basically switched though.
Click to expand...

Why is this? Are you saying because Republicans have switched with Dems and are now racist? Or is it because the Dems are now the supporters of minorities with all the programs they have put in place to secure their votes?

Seriously? Whatever is going in these football players lives, I hope it resolved quickly. If what ESPN said is true Missouris president probably shouldn't be in the position he is.

Don't know the specifics/details but I agree with you, hope this gets resolved so everyone on campus and the players can get back to work focused on their football program. I'm assuming it must be serious stuff. If they're just trying to make a political statement then guess they really didn't need those scholarships after all. I would think it must be really serious, and unfortunate. I hope all that Ferguson stuff didn't bleed over into their environment at their school.
