  1. Over tweet of KSU student. https://www.kansas.com/sports/college/big-12/kansas-state/article243850532.html
  2. Renewed yesterday. Go Mean Green!
  3. 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?
  4. Are you sure his first name isn’t Samson?
  5. 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
  6. A natural rivalry. Miners vs. 49ers. They could play for the Clementine Cup.
  7. That is Cougar Queens shart!
  8. Yes, but what about the fourth?
  9. Good interview. He represented UNT well.
  10. Muhammad Ali Jr. says BLM movement is racist. https://nypost.com/2020/06/20/muhammad-alis-son-says-he-wouldve-hated-black-lives-matters/
  11. Thank you for your post. I share your opinion.
  12. Astros is taken and I would not change the name to a Native American people group, or ethnic group.
  13. Quiet settlements bring quiet departures. That is always a possibility. Cost vs benefits.
  14. Guilt by association? https://www.dailywire.com/news/tucker-carlson-stepmother-of-police-officer-charged-in-rayshard-brooks-shooting-fired-from-her-job-company-releases-statement?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=benshapiro The company says she violated policy. Apparently this is just a mere coincidence. What are the chances?
  15. https://nypost.com/2020/06/13/joe-biden-considering-ex-cop-as-veep-amid-calls-to-defund-the-police/ “Joe Biden would be an idiot to put her on his ticket. People are already on the fence about him,” Newsome told The Post. “When black people become police officers, they are no longer black. They are blue. And I have been told this by numerous officers.”
  16. Winner is 2013. I would have picked 1967. https://meangreensports.com/news/2020/6/18/football-best-team-ever-2013.aspx
  17. Trayvon Martins mother is running for office and says we need more police, not less, and they need better training. This is a few days old but I think it is relevant to the discussion. https://www.wftv.com/news/trending/trayvon-martins-mom-says-dont-defund-police-qualifies-run-office/NHMYVPAWYJELBL2PCC75RAUON4/
  18. I know a woman named Virginia who was born in Washington. Coincidence? It sure is a small world.
  19. Thankfully this is being addressed by the current administration. Executive Order in 2017. https://theundefeated.com/features/trump-signs-executive-order-on-hbcus/ Verified as giving more money than any other president in 2018. https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/verify/verify-has-trump-given-more-money-to-hbcus-than-any-other-president/65-543185506 Bipartisan bill signed by President continued the commitment. https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2019-12-19/trump-signs-bill-restoring-funding-for-black-colleges Did Trump save HBCUs? https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/01/23/trumps-claim-about-saving-hbcus-was-false-his-administration-has-largely-backed Some HBCU leaders, for example, point to the March 2018 move by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to cancel the repayment of more than $300 million in federal relief loans that four historically black colleges took out after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit in 2005. “She was genuinely interested in working on our behalf,” said Walter Kimbrough, president of Dillard University in New Orleans, which received loan relief from DeVos. “That’s their big win” with HBCUs, he said of the administration.
  20. Final game. I don't believe that 2002 and 2013 are the best teams ever. Since that is all that is left I have got to go with 2002. https://meangreensports.com/news/2020/6/16/football-best-team-ever-1-2002-vs-1-2013.aspx
  21. Looks like a budding rivalry with Texas Wesleyan.
  22. I guess you caught the sexist comment as well. I am surprised he hasn’t been called out on that issue.
  23. https://247sports.com/Article/Texas-Longhorns-athletes-suggest-school-song-The-Eyes-of-Texas-be-replaced-renaming-buildings-remove-statues-racial-injustice-George-Floyd-death-148117419/
  24. Saw a Capitol Hill resident interviewed who said “graffiti and trash is everywhere” and small business owners are disrespected. Police say emergency response times are now three times as long as before. Who cares, just give me a free burrito, a bottle of water and a dog treat.
