If the name doesn’t mean anything,


Jun 9, 2020, 5:57 PM

why are so many of you against changing it? Apparently, the names of Calhoun and Tillman mean so much to some of you that you’ll spend hours arguing.

So you think it’s about the name?

I don’t get it either. The biggest argument I’ve heard is “they’ve always been named that”, which of course is false. That and “you’re trying to erase history”, which is funny because most don’t have a clue about history.

Personally, I don’t want to see the Clemson name change, but I won’t lose a bit of sleep over renaming Tillman, Calhoun, or Thurmond. Fight for the ones that are important to you, but your slippery slope argument is itself a slippery slope... you end up fighting all change.

changing the name of some buildings doesn't really do much, but changing a town, a universities name and all businesses that have that name in their companies names and all legal documents would not fly so I don't think we will have to worry about that.

I don't care about the buildings names so I agree, just let it fly. But if we do give them that inch and they want the mile. I think it will turn into a war.

You can believe if we cave on this it will never end. Bottom line is they have no idea what they want and they are throwing darts to see what will stick. Once all evidence of the civil war is erased they will want the government to pay every single black person monetary reparations for their ancestors being enslaved. The truth is we the working class are already the slaves. I watch these morons marching, rioting and looting every day of the week while I'm working and paying taxes. They don't have jobs or work but live off of the government and cause problems. Instead we work for them. I really don't care what gets renamed, my personal opinion is the country is already lost anyway, our university won't be far behind. Rename everything on campus after MLK and Malcolm X for all I care. If it makes them happy go for it. Everything we are doing in the aftermath of this fiasco is being done to appease a bunch of militants because our white trash politicians are afraid. It has no real meaning whatsoever.
