Louisiana Men's Basketball Season Ticket Renewals Underway

Wait what?

You said Dr. Savoie said something, and I asked you to you to show me where he said it. So why do you respond with “I didn’t think so” instead of just showing me where he said that.

Because that is what you do! You jump into a thread without knowing what source or context in which people are discussing. Raise your awareness of what is going on around you, or least try to before you starting asking others ,"Can you show me".

Sure, but it goes far beyond satisfying college athlete demands. It involves making all incoming freshmen take mandatory programming courses in white ___ility and the re-education in American History. But won't stop there, here is the newest demands upon the university, I guess it will remove all names from facilities because of the sins of someone's ancestors.

At some point fans will have to make their own decisions on how much of this movement they are willing to support to enjoy college athletics. My line of demarcation is fast approaching.

Just read the KLFY article. It's amazing that a petition signed by 200 of 19,000 students would have enough influence to even consider renaming anything! It's also amazing to know that everyone getting involved with the ridiculous efforts to change history and rename everything in sight have no skeletons in any of their closets! These are apparently the most perfect people on earth!

His was pretty vanilla and vague IMO. Didn't see too much that would alarm me in the sense of taking drastic measures like renaming buildings and such. Couldn't find the Liberal Arts Dept. release though.

He signed off on the Diversity Action plan linked in his media release. But of course he started off the release with #BlackLivesMatter

My point is that many statutes are being taken down regardless of their impact upon American History or cultural for one reason, because they are part of the history that is seen as patriarchal white men. That sound very much like what Hitler did, removing all traces of history from society he did not believe in. The same thing that ISIS did in all the areas it conquered and the Taliban did in Afganistan.

You don't learn history from statues. We have books. No one has ever looked at a statue and said "Ok. NOW I'm educated".

I'm guessing if that skeleton's name is Slavery, yeah, I see the issue.

So diversity is a bad thing?

[ULvictory]

I'm not blaming them for being upset, but make your voice heard on another platform other than raginpagin. Go straight to those in-charge and make it known of your displeasure.

This is a UL fan message board where fans speak their minds on our programs and where we can agree to the views or not. All of it comes with the territory.

When it is used to straight up pander, then yes.

As someone with Asian blood, I don't want to get chosen or picked to do something because of what I look like. I would rather my qualifications do the talking.

Dude,
No one signing a petition today has ever been a slave! As a matter of fact, ANYONE (white, black, red, green, purple or blue) living in this country has it better than 90% of the worlds population, regardless of race!

Thanks. So I read through both of those statements and I don’t see anything

You can agree or disagree with the policies they are implementing (I actually disagree with a lot of them,) but what you can’t do is put words in their mouth. They clearly didn’t say anything in support of Marxism, “programming of students,” renaming facilities, or “social disorder.” I don’t understand why you feel the need to make dishonest statements like that against our University and our President.

If you want to know why I ask you for sources, this is why. A lot of what you say when it comes to politics is simply not based in truth.

[CajunRebel]

I think this is Doc's.

Growing up as a kid, I had the distinct privilege of traveling to places in South America and Asia with my parents.

And I understand that our country doesn't always have the greatest past. But for someone to say how "bad" it is in this country compared to other places around the world, I challenge them to spend a week in some of the poorer countries and see what it's really like to have it bad. Go to Venezuela right now and see how "great" socialism has made their country.
