People who stigmatize people because of the color of their skin need a historical and DNA analysis. Woke is define by the person using the term. DEI is why everyone is on this chat board. Only Native Americans are native to America and they came from somewhere else. So, that is actually wrong, also. The Pope puts white on his birth certificate and he is black, by the 1/32 definition. I guess DEI got him the Pope job. Oh well, gonna have to change your religion. We are all from on race. So, stop your discriminatory ignorance. Racist don’t believe in God, regardless of their race, including black people.

Happy Days! Can we get back to LSU being a southern school and put the DEI/woke crap behind us.

Bring back "whites only" signs, entrances, and segregated sports, and universities. Decent creations wouldn't need laws and programs in an attempt to force them to be decent human beings. Just shows that beasts can't be trusted to do the right thing.

---That's the best you got? It's not 1960. Making outlandish claims like this don't do any good.

creoletiger1224•14 days

Not 1960? The mentality is the same. Make it great again!

DEI hire. New president should reinstate Middleton to the library a war hero unlike George Floyd. Make sure LSU stays away from what maybe Florida president a commie loving woke antisemite.

creoletiger1224•15 days

Things a Tiki Torch carrying Neanderthal would say.

KCT•15 days

You're the ignorant fool, creole.

hansenthered1•15 days

Middleton killed more Nazis than 10 generations of woke leftist yet because he was in not enthusiastically in favor of integration, when asked, he's treated worse than a Nazi. His name deserves to be back on the library.

HurricaneCamille•15 days

He was incredibly "woke" and hurt many people, including financial donors. Tate's exit is not the loss some believe.

Lol LSU had their best fundraising year ever under Tate. Dude worked his arse off both athletically and academically.

So the Louisiana taxpayer who pumps over $20 million a year into LSU has no say? Cool. Tell them to refund me and I’ll have no further say.

This is a bummer, he was doing good things for LSU and was a great ambassador for us.
And Landry is going to get involved in the replacement, which I can't imagine will go well.

Is that stupid wall-size portrait still up?

RightWingTiger•15 days

Did he really do anything of note at LSU? Genuine question because I don't know. Is Rutgers Univ. consider a step up from LSU, a top tier SEC school?
