This is what happens when you capitulate to little petulant children.

Re: USC mascot comes under fire, name similar to Lee's horse
In less than a week we've gone from confederate general's statues to all founding father statues and now to horses with names similar to confederate general statues.
Nope...no slippery slope there.
Any of you that support removing statues want to explain how the "first they came for......" isn't happening?

Looks like the only thing 1984 got wrong was the date.

The horse should be renamed. This is an outrage that something this overtly racist is let to stand.
The horse should be named Trayvon. Or Tra'Von. Or Tray'Vaugn.
If obama had a horse it would look like Tray'Von. And the back end would look like michelle.

It's also very close to 'Fellow traveller'. You'd think these affected communist goons would love the name.

Re: USC mascot comes under fire, name similar to Lee's horse
Pretty simple. One can favor removing statues of traitors while keeping statues up of Americans who didn't fight against this nation.HokieJoe wrote:I predict they'll keep their mouths shut.Vienna_Hokie wrote:In less than a week we've gone from confederate general's statues to all founding father statues and now to horses with names similar to confederate general statues.

Re: USC mascot comes under fire, name similar to Lee's horse
Today's standards are irrelevant. The difference with me is if you fought against my country, and that's why I don't shed a tear when a Confederate statue/symbol goes down. Under no circumstance should symbols of the Founders come down.133743Hokie wrote:You have no problem judging people and events from 150 years ago by today's standards though.nolanvt wrote:I certainly don't favor removing statues of the Founders who shaped this nation.133743Hokie wrote:150 years ago was a different time, a different era.

No they didn't, they exercised their right of secession. It was you violent ass clowns from up north that attacked and denied them their right of secession.

It's hilarious how you can't see that you yankees established the states as the real slaves in the Civil War. You tracked down and beat states that fled for freedom. Ass clowns.
