Seeing as how you are now part of this thread, I went ahead and assumed the rest of your post is grammatically butchered, so I proceeded expecting Alabama backwood lingo and hillbilly slang.

And then I just stopped reading here since you called yourself (and I'm just paraphrasing here) an idiot.

My point was proven; maybe you don't have a point.
Tuscaloosa used to be known, informally, as Old Quadrangle. I'll listen as you explain how that term is prejudiced against new triangles.

Please explain the comment by the Chancelor of Ole Miss then?
He acknowledges it.
And I don't really care, it doesn't bug me. The past is what it is. The only reason it came to my attention is that it(the article) was on the front page of the news last night.

Dixie, the Flag, and Col Reb are the only thing I like about Ole Miss. Oh and by the way....1963!

Literally nothing you said proved anything and you didn't even address the fact the chancellor said it was a term of endearment. If he is admitting that it means he is admitting he and others knows the origin isn't a clean one.
Another thing, why are you always melting down or in some kind of race war/argument?

Yes. The chancellor is also a fuqboi who is behind most of the movement to "modernize" the university. More or less get rid of anything old because everything old is racist

Why even bring this shite up again?
It is people outside of the South that stir the pot and bring up antiquated slants to stories like this that are the problem.

That's what I am talking about, though. Was there no more pertinent news stories the press/paper could have covered? I would think so considering the state of affairs in the world right now..
As a proud Southerner, I just don't get the fascination with something like the Ole Miss story. Nothing good comes out of it and it contributes to causing issues when the state of race relations have actually improved drastically in the South. Actually, it appears there are far more issues with race relations outside of the South rather than in it.
Just my 2 cents, though.

The only glossing over is the intentional deviance of someone, either in an article or here in posts, trying to equate the term Ole Miss to Old Missus.
They are two very different terms.
Old Miss is just an invented term to attempt to try to prove a point that doesn't exist
I disagree. The WPA Federal Writers' Project, which interviewed actual former slaves, is full of references to "ole miss" as the master's wife.
You can see one of them here: LINK

I never heard the lady at Candyland referred to as Ole Miss in Django Unchained, so this is obviously bullshite.

For those who have Kindle access, if you want to learn more, the original slave narratives are free.
Search on Amazon for "slave narratives a folk history of slavery in the united states"
WPA volunteers sat down with the last of the living slaves and collected their remembrances. It is fascinating.

I will be listening to these, sounds fascinating.

It does sound like it would be interesting based on rare, factual insight into what former slaves endured and reported about actual events themsleves. Thanks for the info..probably going to check it out later today.

I loved my time at Ole Miss. Enjoyed the people. Enjoyed expanding myself and learning new things about different cultures and how at the end of the day we're all pretty alike. Cold beer. Hot chicks. Good dank.
The name "Ole Miss" never bothered me. Maybe a century ago it meant something but oh well... long forgotten at this point other than the people continously bringing attention to it.
I do like the rest of the "traditions" gone.. simply because it makes the environment more inclusive to multiple cultures. I know it sucks to hear this for some but the "south" traditions weren't "south" traditions. Things like the confederate flag and singing Dixie or what not are the "white south" traditions not the traditions of the entire south. Grits are a southern tradition. Sweet tea is a southern tradition. So yeah I don't mind those "white south" traditions dying out. Feel free to enjoy it in your living room but we don't need the street names on campus. You don't hear the band playing black south traditional songs from that era and realistically...you probably don't want to.
I know I'm not walking around singing Swing Low Sweet Chariot and shite.
You feel me?

Personally, I sing (or hum) it thrice a day, as was clearly outlined in the welcome email to the black listserv.
