Thanks for sharing. Used to love hearing that at Ole Miss games as a kid.

I heard a fool once say that everything woke turns to shite.
Turns out he was right.

If your traditions are draping yourselves in the iconography and myths of a nation dedicated to keeping slaves maybe you should move on.

Like so many things, people don't even understand the origins of this song and just automatically think it was song about the Confederacy.
It was written by a northern minstrel singer, Daniel Emmett, from Ohio who happened to be an abolitionist. It was first performed in NY City.
The line, "I wish I was in Dixie" was used to express the northerners desire to be in south during brutal winters in the winter.
It was even a song that was requested to be played by Abe Lincoln after the Civil War because he thought it was a pretty song.
If people would understand history maybe they wouldn't continue to make fools of themselves!

It needed to stop being played. It was hurting Angel Reese. The pain was immense.

Yeah you dont understand history. The song was written from the viewpoint of a former slave who wants to go back to being a slave not some Northerner wanting warm weather. The guy who wrote it appeared in blackface in his show, the entire cast was in black face. The lyrics, the entire lyrics, have the same slang typical of minstrel shows where they portrayed blacks as backwards and ignorant.

Doesn't sound so bad when compared to how blacks are portrayed today by rap culture

And at the end of the day, (another overused phrase) it is still the state song of Florida and for the band from the states flagship university to not be allowed to play it, is wrong.

I thought it written by someone from Ohio.
It was Lincoln's favorite song.

Well it sounds better than that Yankee doodle dandy song that puts you to sleep.

If heaven ain't like Dixie, I don't wanna go!
Just send me to hell or NYC, both are about the same to me.

This is almost moot when you consider that, “from Dixie with love”, is actually just a combination of Dixie and the battle hymn of the republic, fashioned after Elvis Presley’s “an American trilogy”, to be presented as a song to display overall American unity.
From Dixie with love is not “Dixie”

As a lifelong LSU fan, member of Tiger Band, and LSU grad this was the greatest school song played in the SEC.
It was really the only thing Ole Miss' band did well. Ole Miss went to total suck when they cancelled this.
