There is racism at every single school across this country. Not just Ole Miss and only delusional morons think otherwise.

He told the truth but failed to talk about how far the university has come and the fact that we have the highest minority enrollment in the SEC. He instead told about how there was allegedly an incident about our ASB president being called a racial slur.

Yes, frick him.

He told the story of what happened in the past, and that's fine. But there are several ways to take the "truth" of where we are now and where we are headed.

And you do realize it had more to do with Ross Barnett going on a power trip because everybody hated him and most of the "rioters" weren't Ole Miss students.



He was feeding the crowd, Ole Miss student body, etc.. exactly what they wanted. Had the crowd not been completely hate filled racist, he would never have pushed that far because as you said he was all about his own ego/career survival.

The guy narrating is a tool bag and shite on Ole Miss at the very end.


The only thing that shite on Ole Miss is Ole Miss. How long ago did those students hang that noose on Meredith's statue? And riot when Obama was elected. Your state is a shithole.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Noose incident?
Black girl getting called the n word and having a drink thrown on her?
Obama riot?

Truly the bastion of race relations in the south.

Except the university was majority opposed to the riots. If you did your research there were a large number of professors and students that left the university after it happened.

Who said there wasn't?

BTW, it is absolutely pathetic to use that as an excuse for this disgusting display I've been watching.

As a good friend of mine likes to say (she happens to be African American, which is germane to the quote, otherwise her ethnicity is irrelevant): "I've lived in many states all across this country. The only difference between racism in the north vs racism in the south, is that in the south, you know who your enemies are."

We really don't need to bring up how many times I've heard the N word be said in the student section at DWS or at left field lounge. State fans should stay far away from this thread.

He's too busy trying to find the fedora that makes him look like the biggest douche on the planet to actually examine the amazing amounts of progress that Ole Miss has made.


I also don't believe that cross on his lawn bullshite.

The posters here attempt to paint a completely different reality, then are angry that a writer has exposed the actual truth.

If things are so different, why aren't they actually you know.. different?

If you still hold something against a university that happened 50 years ago then you're a fricking idiot. Literally none of the students, administrators or faculty that were at the university during the riots aren't at the school anymore. But we should still pay for it?

I bet you think that families who had slaves in the 1800's should still be paying reprimands to the families that their ancestors had enslaved.

HEY GUYS OLD PISS WAYCEST BEARS AMIRITE?

You're all being a bunch of chodes. On both sides.

Ole Miss fans - we've got skeletons in our closet. fricking deal with it. Learn from it. Use it as a way to bring about change and discuss these things frankly.

Everybody else - don't use our problems to feel better about yourselves. Glass houses and stones, y'know.
