and got rid of the plantation owner mascot. We don't need to worry about other schools, Clemson should do the right things regardless of what goes on at other schools

...And the right thing would be to get over all of the creative drama and move on. Don't like Tillman Hall then schedule classes that meet elsewhere. Don't want to be associated with Clemson University, that's fine too. Frees up another spot in next years freshman class for someone that appreciates "these Hills."

Not the solution

Especially since many of the offended have and continue to add to this rich culture which is Clemson University. Your arrogant solution of simply "Don't go to Clemson" is exactly the type of unproductive rhetoric that divides rather than seeks a solution.

the files and records of Michael King Jr. are finally released to the public. Then we'll get to have a real discussion about building monuments and naming things for people who have done horrible things in their past.
Never heard of Michael King Jr.? I've attached a picture, just in case.

Adulterer.

If you are referring to Dr. King (Michael??) being an adulterer, yes, he's guilty. I hope that you are not comparing adultery to using one's political platform to encourage and stage murder?

Ahhhh ya got me!!! How could I have ever been so ignorant to confuse the severity of killing and lynching another human being of different color to committing adultery. Shame on me. President Jefferson, no hard feelings my friend..
