At the University of Southern California, a student group has declared the equine mascot of the school’s Trojans football team to be a symbol of “white supremacy.”
Why? Because the horse bears a name similar to that of a steed that belonged to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
The USC football horse is called Traveler (one L), while Lee’s horse was known as Traveller (two L’s).
“White supremacy hits close to home,” Saphia Jackson, co-director of the USC Black Student Assembly, told fellow students, in pointing out the similarity in the horses’ names, student newspaper the Daily Trojan reported.
I can't believe FOX News would even consider this story newsworthy. Anything they can do to keep their consumers in a constant state of agitation. I guess they took a break from running interference for the President's daily miscues.
It's newsworthy for the reason that it shows too many people don't know where to stop with the nonsense. Do we really want these people making choices for us? Even if you think removing confederate statues is a good idea (and I'd say there are valid arguments for both sides of this debate), average Americans need to put a stop to the very, very questionable ideas that have arisen in the wake of the statue debate.
Well, we finally got to the bottom of why the area surrounding campus has been one of the worst Black ghettos in America over the past 50+ years:
The locals were oppressed by the name of a horse.
No racism at all in this post.
