I think this is a welcome change, don't you?

We don't just go and put random statues of people on our campus in order to appease the PC machine and your progressive bunch. If MLK Jr actually went to school at TAMU, we'd have a statue of him.

So, since Sul Ross was a Confederate general accused of condoning the execution of black Union soldiers after they surrended, you'll be taking that statue down, right?

Big difference between a Southerner alive during the Civil War being a Confederate soldier and someone being a founder of the KKK.
Klanhorn blimp denied.

I'm just glad Booger wouldn't be able to understand this thread. It would kill him to know what his 'fans' really thought of him. We think he sucks as a QB; you guys think he sucks because of his race.

They always have the Coke building to fall back on:

In addition to openly advocating the lynching of blacks, Smallwood says that Coke, an ex-Confederate still bitter about how the Civil War ended, refused to intervene when mobs attacked both black and white Unionists.

So . . . they don't actually teach history at vet school, do they? Who, exactly, do you think "founded" the KKK?

EVERYBODY STAND CLEAR

THE KLANHORNS ARE ATTEMPTING ANOTHER BLIMP LAUNCH

So.... they don't actually teach reading comprehension at racist school do they?

...a Confederate war veteran who was the co-founder of the Ku Klux Klan in Florida

From 1899 until 1929, Simkins taught law at UT, delivering lectures every year in which he extolled the KKK.

...more...
William Stewart Simkins, founder of the Florida Ku Klux Klan and former regent and law professor of the the Texas school. Russell said, “Simkins engaged in illegal, terrorist behavior during Reconstruction and doesn’t merit having a building carrying his name. It’s particularly true in view of the fact that he was a law professor.”

Simkins taught equity, contracts, procedure, and related topics at UT for three decades in the early 20th century. He was also a founder of the Ku Klux Klan in Florida, and every year at UT he gave a formal speech extolling the Klan.

The Florida KKK organized in 1867–68. Simkins later described himself at the Klan leader in Taylor, Madison, and Jefferson counties. These three contiguous counties are part of the eastern panhandle, east of Tallahassee.

klanhorns...oh shYt

512 is driving the klanhorn blimp machine right now!!!

512... which one of these was your dorm named after?

512 is seething mad at this post right now

wow...haven't seen an owning this bad on here in a while.

sips have been dishing out the 'racism' card on aggies for years, only to get it thrown back in their face with a fierce vengeance

Uh-huh. So when you said that there's a "big difference between a southern Civil War veteran and a founder of the KKK," what you actually meant was "all of the founders of the KKK were southern Civil War veterans."

Now I see the difference.

I wonder if 512 is a real klanhorn or just a teeshirt with a hood.

he's gonna explode folks

except our Civil War vet. He actually didn't help to found the KKK, TIA

I can type in italics /512

Incoming "@utexas.edu blah blah blah"

He's so mad he's reverting to typing nonsensical gibberish!

Wonder if he's mad because he's just finding out his liberal-PC-U lead the way in reconstruction-era racism? Or is he a closet racist klanhorn that's mad because we're letting his secret out?

NOW I see why 512 is so hostile towards Sully:

Lawrence Sullivan "Sul" Ross was the 19th Governor of Texas ... and is best remembered in Texas history as a reformer and an opponent of the Ku Klux Klan

No wonder: it all makes sense!

Boom. Mother****ing HEADSHOT

Holy **** BI just took a dump on 512's stomach and made him like it.

Ten years earlier, before (John Silber)was even a department chair (at tu), he had irked Logan Wilson, one of five presidents under whom Silber served (the others being Harry Ransom, Joseph Smiley, Norm Hackerman and, briefly, Bryce Jordan). This time, the bad blood stemmed from Silber’s high-profile challenge of the president in the Barbara Smith controversy.

Smith (now Distinguished Alumna Barbara Conrad) was a talented black soprano who was cast as the female lead in the 1957 UT opera production of Dido and Aeneas. When word got out that a black woman would be playing opposite a white man, anonymous phone threats against Smith began, and Wilson decided to pull her out of the production.

Silber went on the offensive, preparing a speech that would denounce his boss’ action as not merely immoral but illegal. “After 1954, it was simply against the law for a state institution to be financing an opera and then trying to segregate it.” But before the speech, Silber made an appointment with Wilson and took a copy to his office for his review, just, he claims, as a courtesy and a fact-check.

Silber remembers Wilson saying, “Mr. Silber, I don’t know why you think you need to be heard on this issue.” “I said, ‘I don’t think I should either. There ought to be a lot of full professors to be heard on this issue. But if nobody’s going to address the issue, then I am, because this thing is wrong. I don’t want to be associated with an institution that does something like that, and I don’t want to leave the institution, so I want to try to change it.’ ”

Wilson played the specialist card: “I’m a sociologist, and you’re not, and the people of Texas are simply not prepared to have a white boy and black girl in a romantic relationship. That is not possible in Texas at this time.” Silber then asked why the production couldn’t be changed to a concert version, in which Smith and her counterpart would sing 30 to 60 feet apart. Wilson replied, “Well nobody thought of that.” But Silber’s main point to Wilson was that civilizations don’t abdicate in the face of anonymous phone calls; “They call the police.”

Wilson’s camp, which included the legislature (Rep. Joe Chapman said it was “only for the betterment of The University of Texas”) prevailed, and Wilson wouldn’t forget Silber’s righteous uppitiness. “After the Barbara Smith case, I was in a salary freeze for three years because Logan Wilson really wanted to get rid of me in the worst way.”

WOW...facts have a higher winning percentage in arguments than bullshjt klanhorn opinion.

They're not doing a very good job of teaching these klanhorns history.
