Don't know if there's a thread similar enough to this. If there is, please merge or delete.

We obviously have a lot of folks who literally have nothing to do with their lives other than be offended.

After all....just Friday I heard that Lee isn't such a bad guy after all......

Do these people not have a job, I can think of lot's more things to be worried about.

This may be one of those instances of hypersensitivity and hypervigilance akin to an allergic reaction that serves no purpose but to cause rashes and wheezing.

This is getting crazy. My dads name was Lee. My brother, nephew, and my sons middle name is Lee. Im waiting for the day that name becomes offensive.

So. Traveler with one L. Vs Traveller with 2.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

We should also get rid of all stone walls. They are offensive.

 

[Displaced Bama Fan]

Fine.

BLM would approve of this because he allegedly killed two white people. :eyesrolling:

A statue of Traveler was unveiled in 2010...

Uh-oh!

This is as dumb as Ellen being racist for riding on Usain Bolt's back.

Wait, which one is racist?

 

[G-VilleTider]

Wait, which one is racist?

Doesn't really matter which one is labeled that at the moment cause by the end of the week (at the latest) they both will be.

 

[Bazza]

Got to be the whiter of the two, right?

Lee's horse had four legs...the Trojans need to find one that has either three or five legs if they want to pass muster.

i guess we could also say we obviously have a lot of folks who literally have nothing to do with their lives other than be outraged at people being offended.

there was a student group when i was at bama that picketed burger king about the whaler (their nasty-arsed fish sandwich) because the fish weren't being caught the right way. i read about it in crimson white. i bet they would have loved to have this kind of press coverage.
