Nothing new or enlightening just more fodder and negativity about Ole Miss and the state of Mississippi. ESPN you want to do a story? Come and sit down and visit with those of us from the state of Mississippi that grew up in black and white neighborhoods went to fully integrated schools,played ball together,went to parties together, and hung out together. Please give it a rest,50 years ago this was a story,a story in just about every southern state,30 years ago it was not a story.Please get over trying to continue and inflame a situation and hold a state and university to the bigotry standards of a generation that knew no better,my Generation does.
First time post guys and forgive if its been repeated but dam I agreethis part of history needs to be remembered so its not repeated but the strides taken since need to be shown as well and I did not get this out of the documentary last night.

I watched as well and must agree with you...the black guy touting that all remnants of the confederacy should be obliterated almost made me throw my TV across the room...
that ole miss team was great, but they didn't need to remind everybody about the dumb asses rioting on campus..as you said...that was ALL the southern schools in the early 60's, not just ole miss...
you must remember that ESPN is owned by Disney and ABC...liberal...as...frick...
solid post imo...

I thought it was a well executed Ole Miss hit piece. Doesn't hurt that Mullen has an "in" with Mike Tollin.

Agree 100%. Talked about the bad only, and didn't gather any new and unique insights.
I was expecting it to be an awesome perspective about the football team for 60 minutes with a ton of great interviews and newly uncovered facts, but instead it was wright Thompson filming himself writing on a pad and thinking about if that guy in the picture was his relative. Is he serious? He wasn't even at the riots and didn't go to ole miss. Nobody cares about your little side stories.
Why would he leave out the fact that the klan members that "rallied" for the lsu game needed a full police escort because people were throwing stuff and them and heckling them? Why would he leave out that 100 yards past the rally, a huge group of students of all races held their own " turn your back on hate rally"? Why would he leave out that the drunk student who said something to our student body president nearly got his arse kicked and was thrown out of the bar?
It's pretty obvious what he was doing. He was just rewording the same story other people have told, but because he is a good writer, people thought it was "so powerful." if you look past the sentence structure, and the dude narrating to screenshots of himself in the grove, nothing new was discovered. Huge disappointment.

I thought it was strange how he left out the footage of Ole Miss fans, alums, students yelling at the 2-3 KKK members, telling them to leave. I can remember seeing clips of that a few years ago that weekend they played LSU. I believe it was like 2 or 3 Klan members protesting, but there were a lot of people on campus that didn't want them there. I was waiting on that clip towards the end, but he never mentioned it.

Uh. Not related to Ole Miss but thirty years ago in the doctors office in Morton, MS black people still waited in the back parking lot while the indoor waiting rooms were for whites. So it isn't that far gone. But in the last twenty years it has drastically improved. You must have grown up in a large city

It is part of History, it is the 50 year anniversary. I enjoyed it and felt it was a balanced report and showed the progress that had been made. The 60's and 70's shaped the nation.

The guy that did it was from Oxford was he not?

That would have been a nice addition.
And to the butthurt Ole Miss fans, what happened in 1962 wasn't "the same as every other school" - it was unique. Yes, everybody else was segregated and resisted integration, but for some reason WE became the focal point of this integration battle. People from all over the South came to Oxford to protest, which is why it got so violent and they had to call the National Guard in.
I mean come on, two people DIED ON OUR CAMPUS during those riots. To cheapen it by saying "oh well it happened everywhere else" is fricking bogus. We were the battleground for the entire Jim Crow loving South. That legacy is ours to bear and to grow from. We should be proud of that distinction, that we in a way get to be the standard by which the rest of the South is judged. It's a shitload of responsibility but I think we can handle it.
And to call a story written by a Mississippi native and Ole Miss season ticket holder a "hit piece" or whatever is fricking stupid.

While I don't agree with everything Morgan Freeman says (I certainly do not share his faith in the mental disorder known as liberalism, for example 
), I believe he may be on to something when he said the best way to prevent racism is to "stop talking about it."
I'm not sure how constantly resurrecting old wounds helps them heal, either.
We are all in this world together. It's really not that hard to be decent to one another. Just my .02....
