I would think Fred McClure did far more for Texas A&M University already than Gaines ever did.
Just my opinion.

Unveiled a while ago, but still nothing but total virtue signaling.
The guy voted for a bill, as did numerous other people. Beyond that, he did little if anything related to A&M.
There are plenty black Aggies who are far more worthy of a statue than Gaines.

That's who I was trying to think of earlier, but just could not remember his name off the top of my head and didn't have time to look at it up that moment.Ag87H2O said:Rapier108 said:

Clarence Sasser - Congressional Medal of Honor recipient
Quote:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Specialist 5th Class Sasser distinguished himself while assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 3d Battalion. He was serving as a medical aidman with Company A, 3d Battalion, on a reconnaissance in force operation. His company was making an air assault when suddenly it was taken under heavy small arms, recoilless rifle, machinegun and rocket fire from well fortified enemy positions on three sides of the landing zone. During the first few minutes, over 30 casualties were sustained. Without hesitation, Specialist 5th Class Sasser ran across an open rice paddy through a hail of fire to assist the wounded. After helping one man to safety, was painfully wounded in the left shoulder by fragments of an exploding rocket. Refusing medical attention, he ran through a barrage of rocket and automatic weapons fire to aid casualties of the initial attack and, after giving them urgently needed treatment, continued to search for other wounded. Despite two additional wounds immobilizing his legs, he dragged himself through the mud toward another soldier 100 meters away. Although in agonizing pain and faint from loss of blood, Specialist 5th Class Sasser reached the man, treated him, and proceeded on to encourage another group of soldiers to crawl 200 meters to relative safety. There he attended their wounds for five hours until they were evacuated. Specialist 5th Class Sasser's extraordinary heroism is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.
You make a joke... but in all of this "let's have a discussion business..." I've never seen a list of things that someone like me - a token white person who doesn't see themselves as being racist but is called one just because - should do to stop being racist?My Name Is Judge said:*pretend racismDallasAg 94 said:
