The Ramp

no point arguing with someone who thinks that all confederate soldiers are slave owners and honoring a soldier who died for their belief and fight against what they perceived as a oppressive government (not about slavery) is pointless. but it's fun to point fingers and throw the race card. it's easy and doesn't require a lot of thought.

Give me a break is right. Based on your logic, any white person as a mascot is racist because white people lived in the South, the South had the Confederate flag, and the Confederate flag is racist. If you really are a student of the English language, I consider the department at Arkansas total crap and you should ask for your money back.

Don't try to justify your blatant racism to me.... I can't help you with that. Only you can calm the anger that has caused so much pain to those who have suffered.

If you want blatant racism, look at the "Reverends" Sharpton and Jackson, they're the most openly racist people in world today...

I love this topic...because some southerns will defend the rebel flag and all the bag edge that comes with it. It's silly.

It's all about association..The Rebel Flag and Col. Reb are always going to be apart of the time when the south was openly racist . Nowadays it's tone done just alittle bit because people have to be p.c. in public..but it's still there.

Just like most of you associate Obama for being a racist because of Wright's views ...you can make the same argument about Col.Reb . Now this is a quick question for all the Ole Miss faithful...If Col.Reb is based off of a old black man. Why is the mascot white?

I just have a hard time believing that Blind Jim Ivy was a campus fixture back in the 40's and 50's. This is the same school that had a problem with James Meredith being enrolled in 1962..and we all know how the Ole Miss faithful welcomed him...


But anyway, honestly I could care less about Col.Reb and the Rebel Flag. I just find it extremely funny when people defend it with all they have.

Dude give me a break. I could think of a handful of white people who are just if not more racist then them. This argument can go both ways.

And we should really say no to idiots who try to make things seem more than they are and would rather destroy an iconic image by funneling false pretenses than to seek the facts

Name me 5 white people that are held by most of blind America as being upstanding members of society but are truly racist biggots that keep hate stirred up more than any other person or oraganization nowadays.

I guess you forgot about that "good ole boys" club that was started in Tennessee. The cowards who dress up like ghost and complain about how minority's are destroying their beloved country.

-Trent Lott (Ole Miss)
-Strom Thurmond *when he was alive*( I love to hear people talk about how he stood for "southern values")
-David Duke (He did carry 39% of the votes back in '91. Shows how screwed up Louisiana really is)

I'm sure i can think of a few more later.

I'm not saying the NAACP is the greatest organization in the world. It's helped alot of people and back when it was started, it helped many black people break this mind set of being a "second-class citizen". I do agree that Sharpton/Jackson don't help themselves by always crying wolf when whites say something out of line, but when blacks or any other minority for that matter says or does something out of line it gets over looked for the most part.

I think it's a street that goes both ways.
