  1. Wasp mascot may not support promotion of diversity and inclusion. What is next? https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jul/2/college-considers-nixing-wasp-mascot-fearing-tie-t/#:~:text=Emory %26 Henry College in Virginia has announced,re-examine its wasp mascot as it may appear
  2. If all conferences play conference only schedules that leaves Norte Dame, BYU, UMass, Liberty, Army, and New Mexico State out in the cold unless they opt to play each other. Can’t imagine the Army vs. Navy game being cancelled.
  3. It primarily impacts Criminal Jurisdiction over Native Americans within the Boundary. https://www.tulsaworld.com/news/local/supreme-court-rules-muscogee-creek-nation-historic-boundaries-never-disestablished-by-congress/article_c150be04-daea-50fd-a21f-4068dbad7f32.html#1

  6. The NFL team from Washington should locate a Native American Nation that will agree of use of their name, In fact, If I represented a Nation I would contact the team from Washington and work out a financial arrangement such as scholarships for students etc.
  7. See how easy it was to modify the post! Is your copy of the post not offensive? Maybe what might (very questionable) have been acceptable 6 years ago is not now. Remember the Assistant Counsel for the systems statement last fall?
  8. Is it time to bring this team name to the Pro level? It is more inclusive than Fighting Irish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_Whites
  9. May God continue to bless the USA. God of our weary years,God of our silent tears,Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;Thou who has by Thy mightLed us into the light,Keep us forever in the path, we pray.Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;Shadowed beneath Thy hand,May we forever stand,True to our God,True to our native land. James W. Johnson Lift Every Voice and Sing
  10. Nice! Which day is poker day and what is the buy in?
  11. With social distancing we will only need them to give 1 crap.
  12. Scheduled for December 22nd, ,23rd, and 25th. Who is going to Hawaii for Christmas?
  13. Golf facility is under construction although it is not in plans. Thanks to gift from Bruzzy.
  14. Here is a link to the case. It is worth the time to read it. If you don't have the time just read the conclusion. https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/721/852/1419700/
  15. Willie is in his seventies. If you know anything about attempts to remove the monument in the last 20 plus years Willie has been the one man who appeared almost every week at the DentonCounty Commissioners Court meetings and spoke. Go to the website and watch videos of past meetings. There are people who want to erect a statue to Willie on the square. None of this makes his statement correct. Willie did serve on the committee mentioned in the link above that I believe included historians. I believe as part of their work they studied the history of the monument. I posted the info above because in my opinion the true history should be documented. By the way, Willie’s son Gerard is on the City Council and is running for Mayor Of Denton.
  16. Willie Hudspeth always claimed that if you were black you were not allowed to drink from the fountain. https://www.nbcdfw.com/local/denton-committee-says-confederate-statue-should-stay-put/262898/
  17. Pay attention. SWB used the term “racist a*******”. My statement is a fact. Perhaps I should have rephrased it as those you referred to as “r...”. I have no idea what you are referring to as “ your statement on racism”. My statement is it exists and It is a sin. Dead men/women don’t change political parties.
  18. Can you point to any Confederate Monument that was erected when Republicans were in charge of the jurisdiction? That is the issue. Your “Southern Strategy” argument is a straw man as it relates to erection of monuments. The issue you mentioned above was Monuments. As to CBL’s personal attack on my parents I will speak on that issue later when I have more time. Additionally, the monument in Denton was erected under a completely Democrat Commissioner’s Court and taken down by a completely Republican Commissioner’s Court. Prior to taking it down they created a committee led by John Baines that recommended it be left with an exhibit explaining its history etc. I had hoped the committee would recommend its removal. The entire Court voted on these matters including Bobbie Mitchell. I doubt you know John or Bobbie but they are honorable people. I am glad that the ultimate decision was to take it down. Democrats dominated the Denton County Commissioner’s Court into the 80’s and did nothing!
  19. One thing we can all agree upon is the fact that these “racist a*******” were all Democrats.
  20. Over tweet of KSU student. https://www.kansas.com/sports/college/big-12/kansas-state/article243850532.html
  21. Renewed yesterday. Go Mean Green!
  22. Couldn’t edit above post. I personally don’t care about confederate monuments. When I first saw the monument on the square at age 11 I wondered why there would be a monument to the confederacy. However, I own a piece of the wall you are picturing and a portion still stands so that history won’t be forgotten. I thought you posted before that you have a History degree. You want the history of the Berlin Wall erased? Seriously?
  23. Are you sure his first name isn’t Samson?
  24. NASCAR noose was door rope pull sitting in garage since last fall. https://www.pennlive.com/news/2020/06/no-charges-in-nascar-noose-incident-involving-black-driver.html
