s did every other SEC school that came after us. That's why you didn't see any riots. Not because the other schools were somehow more progressive or civilized than Ole Miss at the time
This! Anyone that fails to see the logic in that is a moron.

MSU was,and is still decades ahead of Ole Miss in race relations IMHO.
Fat cheerleaders are not a race.

Alabama enrolled their first black student in 1956 (only lasted a couple of days, but...)
On June 29, 1955, the NAACP secured a court order preventing the University from rejecting the admission applications of Lucy and her friend based upon their race.[5] Autherine was finally admitted to the University of Alabama but rejected Myers on the grounds that a child she had conceived before marriage made her an unsuitable student. However, Autherine was barred from all dormitories and dining halls. Days later, the court amended the order to apply to all other African-American students seeking admission.[6] At least two sources have said that the board hoped that without Hudson, the more outgoing and assured of the pair and whose idea it originally was to enroll at Alabama, Lucy's own acceptance would mean little or nothing to her, and she would voluntarily choose not to attend. But Hudson and others strongly encouraged her, and on February 3, 1956, Lucy enrolled as a graduate student in library science, becoming the first African American ever admitted to a white public school or university in the state.[7][8]
She attended her first class on Friday February 3, 1956. On Monday February 6, 1956 riots broke out on the campus and a mob of more than a thousand men pelted the car in which the Dean of Women drove Lucy between classes. Threats were made against her life and the presidents home was stoned.[9] The police were called to secure her admission. These riots at the university were what was, to date, the most violent post-Brown anti-integration demonstration. After the riots, the University suspended Autherine from school because her own safety was a concern.[4]

What is the point of this thread?
Given that its started by an MSU fan, maybe to point out the last time Ole Miss was relevant?
