Sums up my feelings exactly. In the interest of full disclosure, I am white - but I am married to a Latina, vote Democrat, and can quote all of Eddie Murpy's standup recordings. That makes me far less white than the average Midwesterner.
Throw in an adopted gay Asian child and you'll be living the liberal American dream sir.
Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Richard Pryor, and Dave Chappelle are gods. Along with Louis CK, Daniel Tosh, Mitch Hedberg, and Louis Black. Greatness in my book.

Many white folks have seen Coming To America and love it...but the best is really Harlem Nights. You have to have a little bit of black in you to appreciate Harlem Nights. 
Surprised I haven't seen Key and Peele mentioned - they are carrying the torch where Chappelle left off. Those three are absolutely brilliant and make fantastic political statements through their humor.

Article explaining the origins of the name.
Attempt to revise history much?
Read the comments below your article. They even point out that the 1897 UM Annual was named "Ole Miss." And, the person that came up with the name explains 'where' she got the name.
Ergo, the train took the name from the Annual ... that took the name from the language of the ante-bellum “Darkey”, who knew the wife of his owner by no other title than “Ole Miss.”
Nice try though. Go read this that was published in
Higher Ed
Sub title ... The University of Mississippi wants to stop going by its nickname and improve campus race relations. Students are not happy.

I hesitated before putting that in there, to keep this from the political bullshite. Yes, I have no problem admitting I voted for Obama and would again, given the choices. But let's keep a good thread from turning into politics...pretend I didn't type that.
Okay, let's pretend that you aren't continuously talking about Obama and how you would vote for him again.
Let's not talk about the choices you have to vote for and to keep it from turning to politics, let's not talk about Obama any longer.
Also, let's not talk about what you say we need to pretend you didn't type concerning Obama and how you admitted to voting for Obama because you don't want to talk politics.
Let's move forward, not backwards. Forward to hope, forward to change, forward to blessed contentedness, forward to equal pay for equal work, forward to no more fat cat banksters running the world and controlling all the money and Hollywood, forward to peace, forward to everyone having the same equality of possessions except for our leaders who deserve more.
Forward.

And what about the actual name of the state, which people continually fail to address?
quote:
What does the word Mississippi mean? The name Mississippi comes from the French "Messipi" - the French rendering of the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe or Algonquin) name for the river, "Misi-ziibi," meaning "Great River."
And there you have it. The name of the state needs to be changed. It's a French interpretation of a Native American designation for a body of water.
The French, who subjugated and destroyed every Native American settlement they came across.
The French who even to this day, in their own nation, keep Muslim citizens living in filth, dirt, and run down slums the likes of which the United States has never seen.
They refuse to give them good jobs, won't allow them to wear their traditional garb in schools, and treat them as so much human trash to be discarded.
And yet, due to stupid Americans inherent racism and bigotry, we blithely sit back and allow a name like Mississippi to be freely used.
A name that should be well in our history, if we consider ourselves to be magnanimous human beings, is continually used as if nothing is wrong with it.
