Plot twist
That reads more like a plot pretzel, sprinkled with irony.

I will have to reread this thread when I am awake.

I thought I just read that KM had a proud history of confederacy in his family lineage and that lineage had done as must if not more then Sul Ross while serving in the confederacy ?

If so, we have now have Johnny Rebel. It was Johnny Football with Manziel.

The world can be a big comedy sometimes.

Don't necessarily see how this is important. You can denounce a statue and claim having it up is wrong even if your ancestry had bad people in it.

Yeah, but all that money the family has accumulated through their privilege should be forfeited to the cause...right? Some of that money was gained by returning runaway slaves.

Even if he didn't know his ancestry and this post is actually true it's not necessarily a big deal and doesn't really change anything?

Need to hear a sincere public apology from him and he also needs to vigorously denounce his lineage or he's dead to me.

Yeah it kind of does. I don't think you quite know how South Texas politics worked back when.....or even today for that matter.

When people talk about "white privilege" they're not necessarily saying that by just being white you're automatically more privileged than everyone else, it's just that your skin color wasn't a problem in your life. Obviously someone who's black and is a billionaire is more privileged than someone who's white and homeless, I don't think many people actually believe that.

Really funny. You sound like Dick Button commenting on an Olympic event.

It verifies he still has a lot to learn about the complexity of life. And so do you.

I've only got love for Kellen. Still, many of us are out here everyday just trying to overcome the systematic racism those who fought for the Confederacy have saddled us with.

That was my bad. Should be "obviously someone who's black and is a billionaire is* more privileged"

Or you can humble yourself, recognize none of us pick our ancestors, heritage, or families, and strive to be the best person you can be and treat others the way you want to be treated.

The world would be a lot better place if we all tried to do that.

Please tell me someone has made sure Kellen is now fully aware of his family history.

I'm going to wear out this word, but thanks. There have been critics and challenges to some memes, but I just ignore the idiots. Life is too short, and after last week at the hospital, I can't say that strongly enough.

Everyone realizes that no one picks their ancestors. That's one of the main reasons why even if this is his actual family lineage it doesn't really matter. Nothings changed from this it doesn't add anything to the conversation regarding things such as the sully statue

Sure it does.

That qb family tree has a lot of schools, streets, parks, historical documents, laws, nafta, accounting standards, city council positions......that we have in place today.

Should we erase them all as well?

Let me answer for ya cause it's late.....no.

But it does, doesn't it?

Kellen grew up in the proverbial glass house. He's not in a position to throw stones about dead "confederates". He should remove the proverbial plank from his own eye before going after Sully. It appears there are monuments to his ancestors that are as equally as "offensive" as Sully. Which is to say, not offensive at all.

Maybe it's a reminder that we all should do more to learn Our history instead of trying to erase it.

You're not erasing history by renaming things. Of course it'd be hypocritical if he claimed that those places shouldn't be renamed because it's his ancestry but come on, that's just speculation and what ifs, and I highly doubt he'd flip flop from it if true. It doesnt change anything and honestly at this point it just feels like people are digging into people's lives and personal info because of the opinions they hold.
