Mond's ancestor (great great uncle) was a "slave catcher" who would return escaped slaves to their owners for cash. Holy S!

Humm? I wonder if Mond's great, great uncle knew Sul Ross?

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.

The original article said his grandmother's side of the family was loaded with confederate officers.

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.


His great great grandfather had over 100,000 acres of land per the Texas State Historical Association article.

As a side note, wtf is (with an "I") in this idiot's Twitter name? Am I missing something? Is it just a reference to Bryan, as in the city?

Here's a pamphlet with more information on Santos Benavides (also has a write up on noted racist Sul Ross). Trigger-warning: pro-confederacy material

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


Just testing to see if it's ok to mention Kellen Mond in a post.

Does that qualify as a protest or a rally?

The line is getting pretty muddy.

So erect a statue of Kellen as a homage to a diverse young man that recognizes the faults of his ancestors and wishes to amend for his forefathers forefathers forefathers aunt's cousins' uncle's sister's brother mistakes!

The plot thickens

https://www.tamupress.com/book/9780875654072/tejano-tiger/

This is a book on Santos Benavides. Not sure how to link but you can preview the book. Chapter IX tells a story about Benavides and Sul Ross. Benavides evidently wrote a letter to the president of Mexico vouching for Ross and calling him an "intimate friend."

I'm trying to go to bed but I can't stop laughing.

How in the hell did he not know this? I'm from San Antonio, if I had his background I would be in every fiesta parade, my dad would have been Rey Feo, and I would eat free at Mi Tierra for life. Seriously?

Hmm. A CSA monument marker? I thought we had to get rid of those.



And I point this out for the hypocrisy, not because I think it is worthy of derision.

Someone's momma never told their kid the family tree.

All kidding aside. What a very interesting family tree.

Lot of schools named after them.
Wouldn't it be ironic if there was a statue.

If this genealogy is true, it's a strikingly similar military and political background to Lawrence Sullivan Ross.

Talk about boomerang. Wow.

Kellen has a more privileged background than 98% of TexAgs or any white folk in present day America...

He gets to virtue signal behind a dark complexion... this is the simple reality of the situation.


And apparently half of his ancestry is not at all important to him.

I wonder if racists stop to think about privilege before being racist
