Looking into it a bit further, many German-Americans were hung for being pro-Union during the Civil War, or for being pro-Germany during WWI and WWII:

Why do blacks get to be offended at a cartoon of a noose, but I don't? Since when are blacks the only people who ever were hung? I do not agree they get to own this symbol as their own as if no white person every suffered such a fate. How self-rightously presumptuous of them.

The writer's response goes under the heading of Mindless Egalitarianism. Politically correct racism is more of a problem than a giant aggressive, smart communist country bent on dominating the world. Politically correct racism is more important than calling out this despotic country for launching this world crisis.

And the sick thing is the arrogance of the Left as they ignore the things I just said. They are unreachable. You can't negotiate with people like that. Just vote for Trump and forget about it. He is the blow-back to their sick world view.

Political comments belong in the West Mall. If your comment is about the political angle of sports, create a post there.

Ok.

I thought the comment was on point with the root of the problem. I'll defer to your judgment.

I understand what you’re saying, but once a sports topic begins to take on political issues the conversation goes off track. Some folks on the sports forums deliberately avoid the West Mall for that very reason — they only want to talk sports and don’t want to see the political stuff. And they shouldn’t have to.

Thanks.

I get it.

I'll be mindful.

I cant believe Miss, of all places, has Leach and Kiffin coaching head-to-head in the same state. I admit I am a little jealous. Looks like fun

Yeah, OK, but I'm 59 and I've been hearing their bitching about it all my life. I am frankly tired of it. There can be no doubt that race relations are supremely better now than 40-50 years ago, but the black agitators act like they are still in chains, which is bullshiite. Black athletes paid millions who say the owner is "running a plantation" particularly piss me off.

Now, you could say that the folks complaining today are not the same ones that complained when I was young, but I never had anything to do with slavery and all that, my ancestors are German, who were decidedly anti-slavery and anti-Confederacy, and yet I still have to listen to it and be painted with that same brush because I am white. In the end, you are right, and maybe it's my cranky-old-man setting in, but, yeah, I'm tired of it all.

Me too!
