I kinda wish ya'll would keep it and bring back the confederate flags. Hey the KKK coming up there to protest should be fun! Anything to help Ole Miss's recruiting

One of the issues with that blog (and believe me there are many) is the idea that the fans can't say what they want to. They can do the chant all they want. They just won't hear the music they usually do it to anymore. Free speech is under no assault here. It's kind of like your right to hurl racial slurs at work. It is still protected by law but so is your boss' right to fire you for same. We can all take advantage of free speech but we must also deal with the repercussions of doing so.

The south will rise again - Now I don't attribute that to mean that The southern States will cede from the US rise again and etc. During the civil war the southern states were burned, buildings were destroyed and etc. Agriculture was the main industry and the south virtually missed out on the Industrial revolution. We have still not recovered in many areas economically. The once proud south was broken and embarassed.

Race issues are something that will get you banned faster than anything. It is outstanding that great work from civil rights leaders like Rosa Parks and MLK have helped to ease race relations and created a truely free land that we have today. I understand that some issues persist and I'm sorry for that.

The song in my opinnion is about the pride in our region. You can feel that Southern Pride at an SEC football game better than anywhere else. Athletics is second to none and the conservative sense of family, church, and state are unique and strike us at the core of our being in most cases. Yes the south has risen again, and the Civil War with all of its death and destruction has made us better.

I digress - The song can be taken in another context and in that sense is wrong. There was no reason to continue the chant and the whole deal has attracted exactly the wrong kind of attention. It was never worth having the KKK on campus. Good luck Ole Miss with this very sensitive issue.

I read about that earlier today........I guess freedom of speech/ singing doesn't exist in America anymore.
Repent, Turn from Sin and Trust in the Savior for your Salvation......this is the Way of the Master.

Mississippi was once the wealthiest state. Now we are one of the poorest. Most of the southern states have seen about the same trend. I've always taken the chant as us reaching prominence again. But some folks have to look for trouble, and that's what happened here.

I'm surprised they haven't got rid of the Rebel mascot name yet, political correctness rules in America these days.
