This Is Crazy

Why in the world and all of a sudden do people want to Change the name of Buildings....
Its Stupid to me....What the heck has changing the names of buildings got to do with Education at Clemson?

If you were Jewish...would you want to walk by a building every day named 'Hitler Hall'? I know this is an extreme example but...kinda the same. I understand that plenty of famous Americans owned slaves, etc, etc, etc,...However, how many continued to kill black folks 10 years after the Civil War ended? Not someone I want to be celebrated by my University.

Sure...but by continuing to honor a known unapologetic murderer, what kind of message do we send? I'm not really a PC guy but this seems to me a no-brainer. By digging in our heels on this one, we are definitely putting ourselves on the wrong side of history.

if you were white, would you want to walk down Martin Luther King Boulevard in any major American city alone, at night?

too bad i can't link the Chris Rock clip about MLK Blvd. because he drops an f-bomb in there.

Well, I am white and walking down MLK Blvd. has nothing to do with Ben Tillman and his legacy.

Because they are African Americans and they claim


Jan 14, 2015, 6:43 PM

that they are offended. So they march to protest, because it works.
