Seriously folks, those handles on their logo were keeping me up at night because just looking at them made me feel uncomfortable. <img border=">

And everything associated with Thomas Jefferson at UVA needs to be bulldozed to the ground. Every building. For public justice.

But do they really want to erase all reminders of slavery, like that serpentine wall? Constantly reminding people of that era is the race baiter's money maker. Would they then need to get real jobs and actually work for a living? Ha, just kidding.

kowtowing to the PC crowd with their new logos. The reason the cavalier's head is bowed is so it does not show a person of any particular sex or race.

I kid you not.

I get it. But the question becomes how far is too far in trying to scrub stuff that may offend others.

to find just about any college or university in the south and southeast built prior to 1863 that was not constructed, at least in part, using slave labor. Profits from slavery also helped fund some schools in the northeast too including Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Columbia. One notable example is Brown University. The Brown family for whom the school is named, were slave traders.

I heard so was the YALE University founder. Not too many protests as of now in Providence or New Haven. Why no BLM scenes on those campuses as of this date?
