Surely this cannot be real. The level of irony insane.

"The highest ranking Tejano officer in the confederate army?"

If true, To hold his anti -racism principles Mond has a LOT of privilege he needs to relinquish

Someone ought to tell his buddy with the loudspeaker at the protest! Might make for an awkward moment!

This thread has been going for less than 2 hrs and twitterverse is already commenting on it.

They are spending too much time on this board.

For Brian with I who is no doubt refreshing the **** out of this thread with crossed fingers hoping someone says something racist in order to confirm your world view no one here has an issue with Kellen's family history, in fact he has a very unique and distinguished family history that most here would probably be impressed with. What we are all responding to is the irony of it.

Hate to break it to you, but this all appears to factually check out due to how well known and documented most of the names in his mother's family tree are and were. So you can decide for yourself whether you want to associate with Kellen still knowing his ancestors fought for the confederacy. We know that is a huge issue for you regarding Sull Ross, so if you want to be consistent you probably need to denounce Kellen's ancestors for the lives they led,

As far as what does his family history have to with anything, isn't that what this whole Sully debate is about?

Will Kellen be able to forgive himself enough to continue to be the A&M QB? Does he offer the same forgiveness to Sully?

They aren't going to research. They don't want the truth. Google searches pretty much align to the posts. But even that won't be good enough

His grandfathers obituary. It appears to match up with the letter.

Leopoldo P. Botello Jr.



Quote:

He was preceded in death by his parents, Leopoldo P. Botello, Sr. and Maria Cristina Martin Botello, both direct descendants of founding families of Laredo. Also preceding him were his brothers, Victor Jose Botello and Guillermo Botello. Leopoldo is survived by his wife, Sharon Hull Botello; his children, Leopoldo P. (Judy) Botello, III, Lourdes B. (Gildeberto) Valdez, Leticia B.(Kevin) Mond,....



What a great life! Family should be proud.

This is much more eloquent than what I was going to say. Well said

The sad part of all of this is, Mond should have the right to feel however he wants to feel about his ancestry. Just like all of us. The good and the bad.

But when you support a cause that demonizes people that look back on their heritage as part of themselves and find some joy or force of good, I have no sympathy for the karma that comes from this situation.

That might be interesting to see. Maybe they fought together in a certain battle. Maybe a real historian could look that up. It would the be the irony of ironies.

Not a historian just a fan, don't think he did but did fight in the last land battle of the war.

As we have learned from several BLM related social media posts after George Floyd, it is not beyond the pale to tell the world your parents are white supremacists/racists. I have no doubt Mond will happily disavow all of his ancestors.


I didn't think that mattered, he and his family clearly have had privilege. He can't escape that just because he disavows his families history. That's how it works, right? Privilege is privilege.
I mean, none of my white ancestors owned slaves.
