That's where t.u. loses this argument all day long. That's why I can't believe this thing is still going. If A&M had named a building after a founding member of the KKK, t.u. and any other competing institution would have crucified us over it. You can understand how a bit of payback is in order, right?
But if someone were able to prove . . . oh, I don't know, that Coke was an unapologetic and unrepentant racist who "believed in the premacy of the anglo-saxon race," well, that just makes him a product of his time, and aTm should no more rename the Coke building than Texas shoud Simkins Hall.
