Hmm, usually down for a historical reference

but referencing the trail of tears is sort of like referencing the holocaust.

In the suffering and death of an entire race because we needed the land to plant more cotton, but that's just me being pc I guess.

That would make us the disgusting, evil bad guys.

I couldn't get behind something so obviously evil.
I'm the last person to say something politically correct, but if you know much about the trail of tears, its pretty d@mned horrible.

maybe that's why the OP named it the "New" Trail of Tears...this one would be littered with sprained ankles, grass stains on the uniforms and jock straps not to mention scenes from previous Clemson victories along the way - sort of like the SOB signs now.
How's that plan?

"The trail of dead Seminole fan body parts." Something more pleasant like that, so it doesn't conjure up my white guilt so much.

I just want to avoid looking having our fan base look like a bunch of ignorant racists on national television.

I didn't even consider that he was planning on making a sign
Oct 14, 2013, 2:55 PM

with that on there. He wasn't was he? That would be the worst PR for the school I could imagine. That would be as bad as Micah Rogers, or worse.

It wouldn't surprise me. Maybe we could teach a quick history lesson this week. F.S.U. has plenty of things to make fun of other than their mascot, which is probably the best mascot in College Football...IMO.

Im Irish to the bone, my family was treat like shat when they came over lol (to escape getting shat on by the British might I add). And even if my family did own slaves, or torture native Americans I wouldn't have white guilt. It happened 100-200 years ago. Time to move on America

I'm German...I don't have holocaust guilt
Oct 14, 2013, 3:06 PM

but I don't make light of the holocaust either. There is a difference between respecting what happened and being guilty about it.

yeah I don't make fun of any of those terrible events, but the question still stands; why should I, or anyone for that matter feel quilty?

This reminds me of my UGA Gameday sign idea...
Oct 14, 2013, 3:48 PM
|
|
So, after thinking about it, I was sure I had come up with the perfect gameday sign for the UGA game:
"Might as well change Tajh's name to Sherman..."
--------
"Because he's going to torch Georgia tonight!"
I thought it was great - but almost everyone I told kind of had the same reaction as this idea. I still think my sign was a winner, but then again, I've never really been known as the most PC guy...
