So texsa monthly hires an east coast ivy league "progressive" from Columbia School of Journalism to come in to their state and turn over rocks to dig up dirt on their in-state institutions?

The people she (the OP) is judging are not the ones in the letter, but rather the woke dipshits that make up the t.u. fanbase.

Yes, Texas integrated football after Ole Miss. But, it isn't like aTm was way ahead
A&M was all white until 1963 when three African-Americans enrolled in the first summer session, and a year later, five freshmen became the first African-Americans in the Corps of Cadets.
The difference: We never claimed otherwise, nor do we sit upon our high horses, pretending to be superior with regard to race relations.
Yet we don’t hear the end of it from the horns re: a statue from the 1800s.
Turnabout is fair play.

I'm SHOCKED that t.u. Monthly allowed this to be published. Either they are prepping for Juneteenth to be a National Holiday and are trying to get out in front of it or there is a yet-unseen " shite on A&M" narrative we haven't caught yet.
Every semester a texsa professor and some of his assistants take new Freshman students on tours of what they consider racist statutes and other memorabilia on campus. It is an issue they keep sweeping under the rug or paying huge sums of money to have a consulting firm, that it can't be confirmed the elements of their school are racist.
But the aTm school site is where I got the information before. Seems like the wrong school to be calling people out.

Memo shows UTex coaches wanted to keep black players off their teams

Oklahoma was not a Southern state or part of the Confederacy. Slavery was never legal there. Thus it did not have the same issues Southern schools dealt with in regards to integration, though it still didn't have a black football player until 1956.

Damn I hate defending the sips.
There is a huge difference between recognizing that there was racism at a school or with people that founded a school vs cancelling anyone that was a racist or fought for the Confederacy. You don't learn the lessons of history by pretending they didn't exist. Virtually every leader in the South and in Texas during the late 1800s served in the Confederacy or at least supported it. Some were racists. Some were ignorant. Some were just supporting their state and were ambivalent about slavery and racism or didn't know how to stop it.

I hope I speak for many more than just myself when I say, "Who in the frick fricking cares?" People in the past weren't perfect. Neither are we. Life goes on for all but the whiniest.

The Indian's owned slaves here in Oklahoma. I believe there is an ongoing legal battle between the slave descendants and the tribes for tribal benefits.

Like usual The University of Oklahoma was leading the way. Ahead of the times. Now you're all trying to steal our offense.

Totally off-topic—I've never seen this publication anywhere (or heard it mentioned), but they actually have a pretty good true crime podcast called Tom Brown's Body, if anyone else is into that sort of thing.

You guys have a really sad rivalry.

Sounds like some commies at TX countly are trying to get Coach Royal erased at TX.

Royal's racism, in particular, has never exactly been a secret (not that it was unusual or especially intense for the era), but seeing it committed to writing on an official document is a new twist. As was said above, we don't want to erase the past, but I don't think this is some earth shattering development--just a little bit of interesting historical archeology.

Oklahoma was Indian Territory during the Civil War. You say it wasn't a southern state. Hell, it wasn't even a state.
It sided with the confederacy and as memory recalls, General Stand Watie was the last confederate general to surrender. His grave and historical marker is about 20 miles from where I am right now, in Fort Towson, Oklahoma.

Seriously...1959? This applied to every public school in the south (including A&M, who didn't have a black football player on scholarship until 1968).
