Ok I know I could get myself in trouble with this, but I have to use my freedom of speech somehow. For weeks at Ole Miss the University has asked the Students to stop saying "The South Will Rise Again" when the band plays Slow Dixie. The students did not comply. Finally the University had enough, no more playing Dixie to the point where that could be done. First thing that came to my mind, who on God's green earth came up with this idea? Are you serious? I know I know, its a racist things to say. If you look at it that way. I see as a cry for Ole Miss Athletics to rise to a level they once were at. How about rise back up to the good years of Archie, ELi and now the Landsharks and possible the future, we are just trying to get to ATL. Ole Miss is not going back to the days of the "Ole South". That is dead, it died with our ancestors. The new south can move forward with progress if you allow it to. How do allow that, simple by not making something out of nothing. Good Job Ole Miss you just took something, like the whole Colonel Reb on the field issue and brought up to the nation. The old ways of things died when those who did those did. The Old South doesn't still live today as it once was, there might be some small things that live on but not many. Ole Miss needs to attract the light onto its self in a positive way, not negative. All you have done is brought right back into the light a problem that no one sees anymore. If we are going to change something because a few see it as a problem then we will all be changing things every day. I see problems that I would like to change that offend me as a 27 year old, single white male living in the United States everyday. Do I bitch and complain about it, NO. I live through it because if I knew the real truth behind why people are the way they are, and do the things they do I would accept it. Why would I accept it, because I grew up in the NEW SOUTH. Not the old. The old will only be brought up if you continue to do so.
Oh yeah in conclusion, the University wanted to change what the students said to "Go to Hell LSU". Alright thats the answer. Great idea, instead of upsetting one ethnic background, we are now going to upset many backgrounds from many walks of life. GREAT! So today's you think you know but have know idea is "its better to upset multiple ethnic backgrounds instead of just one"! Have a wonderful day and go be what others what you to be. Forget go rebels, GO AMERICA!
