Can we talk about the absurdity of UKs Statues?

The glorification of these 4 men is not necessary. The only reason they have a statue is not because they were great men but of something they had no control of which is their race.

I can appreciate any person that overcomes obstacles in life but why make a statue to prop them up for eternity. Are there not greater things that the university of Kentucky has accomplished?

If there's anyone we need to honor, it's those four. Especially Nate Northington and Greg Page.

Now you can kindly go frick yourself.

You got a white supremacy meeting to discuss your white privilege that you're late for or something? POS

Kentucky isn't the first SEC team to desegregate. Mizzou had black players in the 50s.

Those guys and many others, including Chucky Mullins, Sly Croom, etc. used the college football platform to change our society for the better. Your post may be one of the worst I've ever read on this board, and that's saying something.

Those 4 men represent the changing landscape of college football, and Kentucky's leadership in that regard. Why would you think this was worth posting?

Not many things bother me, including those statues.

Just put up a statue of Jefferson Davis next to them and call it equal.

Greater than essentially single handedly issuing in an era of scholarships for black players in the south?

Probably not.

You suck.

While I kind of agree with you.
People are stupid as frick. If you question anything about things like this they automatically attach racism to you and all thought is out of the window. Just leave it alone bruh.

It's Kentucky football. What else is there to celebrate?
