Quit feeding the troll F16. Texags has an ignore button for a reason. Use it. This person is on here baiting you into saying things that will then be posted on social media. You aren't changing the troll's mind so give up.

I hope QB1 is wise enough to recognize that you cannot paint history with such a broad brush.
I don't think he or the cheesecake doxxer are, but it would be great if at some point there is some contrition on his part for his actions that were so incredibly divisive.
I also hope our AD says something, and Coach Fisher's silence has been deafening.

So yeah it's hypocritical.
Doesn't change anything for you. You've got no skin in the game. Not your family tree.
It literally isn't hypocritical to have ancestry with confederate soldiers and to argue against having statues of confederate soldiers. Your ancestors don't dictate what you can fight for. It's only hypocritical if you dont want to get rid of your ancestors statues who did horrible things and want to get rid of all others.
Maybe he should bring down the buildings/statues/parks/etc named for his confederate family first.
If this is actually true, and that's a big if, then it doesn't matter what he tries to bring down first as long as he doesn't support either of them. The one where he has the most say in right now is the Sully statue since he's the quarterback at the university where it's a problem. It makes sense to fight most for the things you have the most say in, and the places where you can make the biggest impact
All power to him as I presume he will journey to erase honors his ancestors collected.
To answer your question, he is asking others to live up to a standard and position that he hasn't addressed within his family. A lot of people were harmed by his ancestors and still are made uncomfortable living and seeing the name honored where they work and live. It seems appropriate for Kellen to use his power as a family member to have those things scrubbed from the society we currently live in before asking others to do something he has not address personally with family to accomplish.
Here's the thing, he most likely has absolutely no ability to change any schools or monuments that are named after his ancestors because there have been several generations since then and several splits of the family. It makes the most sense to fight where you actually have a voice, and that's at Texas A&M as the quartback for the football team. If people want to change the world where we live in, it makes the most sense to divert your efforts to where you could get the most done.
Is my new found cause worth considering in your opinion ?
None of us who want the statue taken away from the academic plaza want to erase history. If you tear down the statue, the history is still there, the news articles are still there, as long as the history is taught it isn't erased. These statues weren't placed to teach history, they were placed to glorify and memorialize individuals. So this is a false equivalency

The AD did say something. He was proud of the athletes' behavior at the protest.
Don't believe I ever claimed that it was true? Found the link to the document interesting and shared it. If I had found it on Reddit or anywhere else I would've shared it. Happens to all add up though.Bigsteve said:...so it's gotta be true, right?GT_Aggie2015 said:

Why does her opinion matter so much?
I personally think that it should be in a musuem where we can look back at things that we use to glorify. There are differing opinions about it in the people who want to take it down but the common opinion is that it should not be in a place where it is glorified.
Ah see, here is the rub. There is no objective truth in your world view. CRT teaches that. There is only what you define as racist. And for that, people are doxxed and your group attempts to ruin their lives. Contact employers and colleges, get them expelled or fired.UniqueIGN said:Tanya 93 said:
You should go talk to Ms NAACP and Keebler Elf about that since they have no issues doxxing people due to opinions.
Big difference between someone acting racist in public and finding out their names so they can be reported to the university vs trying to find dirt on people who want to take down a statue. I agree with finding their names especially since most of the time it's public info on an instagram page but disagree anytime someone starts to post their address.

Or evidently the ones that bring you the most publicity and don't require any personal reflection or sacrifice. How incredibly convenient - and hypocritical.UniqueIGN said:
Being antiracist doesnt mean always going out of your way to find racist acts to call out, it means calling out racist acts that you see.
It's crazy that y'all still believe that we think everyone should apologize for what their ancestors did and should feel guilty for it.

Y'all, let me talk directly to my cousin.
Hey Kellen, ya no tas chingando. Let this **** go. You've had it easier than thousands of men your age. You are the definition of privlege. So someone may have called you names in the past. So? That's what being a minority is.
And the next time someone calls you a w e t b a c k, you say, "my back might be wet, but yours is wetter. My family had to cross a river. Yours has to cross an ocean!"
Orale primo!

I'm amazed by the beautiful picture of America.
Kellen Mond is a poster image of who we are. France, Spain, Mexico, Texas and Africa, all in one family. His lineage of privilege and power and yet also challenges I'm sure he has experienced. He is a gifted athlete and the leader of a major football program. He's getting a world class education at a premier university.
I love it. Our country is amazing! Nothing like it!
UniqueIGN said:FunkyKO said:
Sure it does.
That qb family tree has a lot of schools, streets, parks, historical documents, laws that we have in place today.
Should we erase them all as well?
Let me answer for ya cause it's late.....no.
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.
