YStar, what exactly are you hoping to accomplish w this thread? I'd bet that most of the Ole Miss students and alums who post here feel sick about their university's past, as well as about any current scum that lingers. What more should they do?

Ole Miss continues to try to right its wrongs--so much so that I think they go overboard w it at times. Conversely, others should try to forgive ... though something tells me that those who've truly been victimized (not posters on a message board who have ulterior motives) are well on their way to doing so.

Pretty much this. If people outside the university would shut up about, maybe it would move on. But the problem with our past continues to linger because of outsiders such as the media who don't want to let it go. Only thing they want swept under the rug is the good that Ole Miss tries to do to right the wrong that happened.

What those 3 students did to the Meredith statue pissed me off. That is the last person who deserves to have their statue messed with. He sticks up for Ole Miss when all this racist stuff is brought up, more so than anybody I've seen. He was even asked about From Dixie With Love when we first took it away. He couldn't understand why we took it away and he was disappointed to see it go. But the media didn't want to use those quotes because it go against what they were trying to spew to the readers.
