What about “masturbate?”

The sound of the initial 2 syllables is supremacist at it core.

Maybe masturbating should be outlawed.

I’m on board with removing confederate monuments and considering campus building updates. But this is just placating nobody in particular because you want to do something attention-worthy.


Removing history is a slippery slope

Literally Nobody in Florida:

White Liberal Academic Who Sees Racism Everywhere: cAnCeL GaToR bAiT!!!


If Florida fans have any fight in them, they'll just chant it over other songs like LSU fans do with STTDB.

You know it’s BS when even Snopes says so

“We checked this conclusion with Patricia Turner, who has probably done more research on the “alligator bait” motif than anyone else in the world, asking whether she had ever come across information suggesting that the phenomenon might be real. “I have not seen any evidence to suggest that it was true,” she said, adding that it would have been all the more unlikely during the era of slavery, when a black child would have been a much more valuable commodity than an alligator.”

While I know of no evidence of racism associated with our “Gator Bait” cheer at UF sporting events,

This right here is all you need to know about how stupid this is.
