Another thing they don't like at Mizzou is our statue of Thomas Jefferson. Because despite being a brilliant man and President of the country, as well as Mizzou being the first school in the Louisiana Purchase and a Jeffersonian school, he was a slave owner. And during the homecoming parade incident, one of the things they were shouting was that Mizzou was "built on their blacks" - referring to the University having been build in part by slaves. As I said - they'll take it too far and there will be a backlash.

Just to get things clear, if you and multiple generations of your family had been enslaved for a few hundred years and essentially been abandoned by the Fathers of your county, who allowed you enslavement so that the country remained united, what exactly would you consider "going to far"?

Demanding a little respect and proactivity when it came to racial incidents on campus when you state has suffered numerous recent racial incidents is "going too far"?

Just how subservient would you counsel the rest of your clan to be?
