It doesn't work in reverse, either. The Sips' biggest booster is notorious racist Red McCombs, they have a statue of a KKK member on campus, and they regularly deface a statue of MLK in what seems to be a right of passage. A&M lacks traditions that correspond to any of that.

Let's focus on the Sips.

We don't have time for foolishness like that, tbh.
Older brothers lead. Younger ones follow and cut capers on the side.

The best part by far is Austin is signified by (now dated) DKR turned into the Roman Colosseum, while we get a dot.

We got a link to his/her username? What does post history look like?

He might be a master troll. That was the most true to form corndog speak I've ever seen.

Could be a transfer or grad student. When did this place start screening posters?

When they post on the tiger rant help board screaming "let me in I'm one of y'all!"

I am 100% unequivocally against removing confederate statues and references, and I'm black.
How can we remember the past if we just erase it and pretend it didn't happen. No, that shite happened and we need to be reminded of it so we don't do the same thing again.

Japan does this. No references to the horrible things they have done in their distant or recent past. Never happened. In Nagasaki they have a "peace" park where they talk about all the horrible things we did to them there by dropping the bomb on the innocent Japanese.

I guess I'm more of the mindset that we don't need the Confederate shite around in a position of honor. Museums, fine, graveyards, whatever, street names, meh.
Don't care enough to be out on the front lines petitioning for their removal, though. shite happened, the scar is there, and that's enough to remind us to work on healing it. Don't need a full-blown skin graft.

At a shrine in Ueno park in Tokyo, there is a flame that is fed by a gas line. The fire originated from the fallout of the Hiroshima nuclear blast. There is a manuscript talking about how nuclear weapons will be the end of us if we start using them on populated areas and how we all need to stop developing them. Very interesting stuff. I just stumbled upon it while I was there back in March.
That's the difference between southern confederate statues and "remembering our atrocities". We need to do it in a way that doesn't glorify it, like put the confederate battle flag on a state flag. It needs to be done in a way that we remember it as a dark time in our history and we understand why we aren't doing things that way anymore.

There was a memorial in the continental US for about 65 years about Japan's atrocities called My Grandpa Telling War Stories
Full Disclosure: I haven't been to Japan. But I've heard they have plenty of stuff documenting how terrible the bombs were but not a whole lot documenting the shite they did that led to it, which is a problem IMO. I agree re: the confederate statues though, and I think the museums we have in the US that discuss slavery, the Underground Railroad, the Civil Rights movement, etc do a pretty good job of educating.
