This. Is. Nuts.
And they profited off of catching escaped slaves. Much worse than anything we know about Sully.
I'm on the floor drooling with these nuggets. I cannot believe this.
Has this been fact checked?

I feel like there is little historical appreciation for people as they existed in their "era"
If you lived in Texas during the Civil War you likely fought for the state in which you lived, Texans even more so as it had Just recently become a state and only slightly before fought for independence. Think of the sense of duty an individual might feel with regards to a state just formerly a country in which you or your family members helped establish,,,,flawed as it may have been
To now sit in judgement years later I find a strange supposition
In saying this I'm not excusing the wrongdoings or flawed practices of the past. I see no way of arriving at the present without passing through the footsteps of the past. There was no other way to get here.

It's in the historical records within this very thread.
I'm understanding things happen in history....
I'm just floored that our quarterback social justice warrior who is tearing this school apart is actually part of a family that did much worse than the statue he wants to tear down.
And.... his family was friends with Ross

I think that we needed to figure out which of the 6 Marias that Santos had for sisters married Mond's GGGgf. Other confederate ancestors are confirmed.
And ask yourself this, if there was a chance this was a lie, would it have stayed on this board for 24 hours?

It's an amazing plot twist.

Holy **** texags.
Well done.
I can't believe this.
Forgive me then, just the apparent hypocrisy of Mond has you floored?
Has He responded yet? He reads this forum so he has to be following
Will Mond's family legacy be added to the history plaque they are considering for Sully?
They were friends, allegedlyBallerStaf2003 said:
So wait, Mond's ancestors KNEW Sul Ross?
Am I reading this right!!?!?

Sully and Santos best buds

Our AD and lack of knowledge about our new gear:
BTW... Adidas... founder of company was a Nazi. Mond and our AD has no problem suiting our athletes up in gear made from a company founded by a Nazi.
meh....WW II was so long ago nobody cares. We got more immediate concerns like the Confederacy.

Not only knew Sul Ross, but the great great uncle actually vouches for Sully to the president of Mexico as being a friend of the Mexican people.
Sully apparently was really bad at the whole being a racist thing. It was one thing he evidently didn't excel at.

Well then could you kindly tell your cousin to shut his freakin' yap.Charpie said:

Correct
Word is that even many of his teammates are cool on him. He is not a uniting figure in the locker room any more than he is on campus.BenFiasco14 said:
Who has praised Mond except for rabid leftists?
We are related then. Hola Charpie.Charpie said:

Perhaps the most "evil" thing Sul Ross did was associate with a slave bounty hunter.
Lest we forget, Charpie is also staff

Sully is forgiven, in part, because of the POSITIVE things he attempted, and DID, to better the educational opportunities for POC's AFTER his participation in the civil war.Fightin TX Aggie said:
Wanting a better country doesn't mean you don't love it. If we should take the good with the bad in relation to Sully, surely we can find some grace for Kellen too, am I right? Seems like if you insist Sully be forgiven but you have no forgiveness for Mond, you'd sound a bit hypocritical, no?
I disagree with Kellen on Sully, but I'm not going to run him down personally. He's our QB1, and he's a fellow Aggie and Texan, so I love the guy.
I think he paid his debt in full... hence the STATUE.
Kellen has not been convinced that he himself has committed any wrongdoing or disparaging of the very university that GIVES HIM PRIVILEDGE.
slave bounty hunter you say?!aggie appraiser said:

People need to stop looking at the America of 1790 or 1860 through 2020 eyes. Consider back then there was widespread slavery on every inhabited continent including blacks who had other blacks as slaves in sub-Sahara Africa. It was in this context that America was born. No other country has done more to promote racial equality Than the United States of America.
