wow... get the fvck out of here.4% of southerners owned slaves.
if those slaves had not been purchased, they would have been killed.
without slavery, many African origin humans would have been exterminated.
slavery is absolutely the second most horrible thing, no third, you can do to a human being.

Man I hope I meet you in person somedayfunny
without John C Calhoun Nuk Hopkins would not exist.
is he not smart enough to understand that?
I merely answered Your Question! History lesson as skewed as yours appear was not asked! Attempts to rewrite history was not asked!I suggest we research back and all people including the black men who owned slaves have their names stripped from history
Slavery by every race against their own race and other races and ethnicities was no way acceptable
over history it happened
we as a people need to look forward to making the world better using the memories of where we came from as a guide. And reference
My great grandmother, born into slavery, stories passed down & I am old enough to have the stories told to me! Mother died 1978, was according to family 115 & I was 20...do the math!Did you research that? How do you know?

Cavitybacks. Most people did not own slavesJust seems strange that you'd change Calhoun before you'd change Tillman. Tillman was a bad guy.
Who didn't own slaves back then? All of our "forefathers" did. I bet DW Daniel's father or grandfather had some slaves.
Thomas Green Clemson married a slave-owner's daughter. Change the name to Dabo University if appeases people.

Now how do you know your family did or did not own slaves?
Understand! Not trying to speak for all Black & I am not a CU Alum! My opinion, Anything to do with The Confederacy, those that turned against the US & harbored people as slaves; should be placed in a museum!My point was that the majority of "important white guys" owned slaves. Do we get rid of "George Washington University"? Do we tear down the Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, etc?
I don't know the answers.
I'm suggesting that maybe there's a difference in a guy like Tillman vs guys like TG Clemson, John C Calhoun, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, etc. Maybe there's not... I don't know. It's probably more of a question for black people.
reality is this started out as a "justice for George Floyd"
well all 4 officers involved have been arrest and charged with 2nd degree murder or accessories to 2nd degree murder and face 40 years in prison/
justice is being served as swiftly and efficiently as possible.
no reason for thousands of small businesses be looted.
no reason for buildings to be burned.
humans to hurt or killed.
millions of dollars in inventory destroyed or stolen
supporting that--that's whats stupid.
What is your point here? It is still disgusting. I still can’t wrap my head around people ever considering it morally acceptable
Outstanding, now for point of reference & I mean this sincerely; I really wish my ancestors had the opportunity to become US citizens & treated as such as yours did!My great grand parents immigrated from Europe after slavery and probably did not own slaves in Europe. One of my great grand parents was Native American and probably did not own slaves. I wish I could find more info on their past. One of my great grand parents immigrated from Finland after cholera took his wife and 4 kids in a matter of a month
That's factually not true. If it was swift and efficient, it wouldn't have required protests to have all the cops charged and changed from a useless 3rd degree to something more.
He’s done more than enough alreadyHe didn’t even defend Dabo. Not that it’s his responsibility but I definitely noticed.
Dude, you Really need to Travel or Just Read A Book!the catch is all these so called slave owners were good people that were misguided by the times.
each one did amazing things for their communities to make us to what we are today.
life aint half bad.
even for blacks.
so what if you never ended up the offspring of a slave in AMerica, imagine being in Africa with no air-conditioning today.
Dude, you Really need to Travel or Just Read A Book!
Africa is the wealthiest continent on this planet!
Outstanding, now for point of reference & I mean this sincerely; I really wish my ancestors had the opportunity to become US citizens & treated as such as yours did!
Now & again sincerely; think of how difficult it would be for your ancestors to become citizens today! Also, I would love to hear about the trials of your Native American Ancestors!
Guess who said this. It’s as racist as it gets.
I will say then, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters of the negroes, or jurors, or qualifying them to hold office, of having them to marry with white people. I will say in addition, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races, which I suppose, will forever forbid the two races living together upon terms of social and political equality, and inasmuch, as they cannot so live, that while they do remain together, there must be the position of superior and inferior, that I as much as any other man am in favor of the superior position being assigned to the white man.
Abe Lincoln. Guess his monuments and the $5 bill need to disappear immediately. Slavery was a part of the times back then. You learn from your history and move on to be better. If we get into renaming everything from a time none of us were alive, we might as well rename all the confederate states too. It will never stop.
Just seems strange that you'd change Calhoun before you'd change Tillman. Tillman was a bad guy.

Veteran Nate Boyer: Taking a knee wasn’t disrespectful until “I saw the knee on George Floyd’s neck”
As nationwide protests demand a shift in American race relations, DeAndre Hopkins and Deshaun Watson are using the moment to call for change at their former college.
They used their platforms to advocate for the removal of a slave supporter’s name at an honors building at Clemson on Monday. They tweeted a petition started by Clemson student Roann Abdeladl demanding the removal of former U.S. Vice President John C. Calhoun’s name from the school’s Calhoun Honors College.

Clemson University still honors the name of slave owner John C. Calhoun on its buildings, signs, and in the name of its honors program. I am joining the voices of the students and faculty to restarted this petition to rename the Calhoun Honors College. http://tinyurl.com/calhounpetition

Calhoun’s push for slavery in U.S. government
Calhoun served as the seventh vice president of the United States from 1825-32 and also represented South Carolina in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. He was a slave owner and staunch advocate of slavery.
“Slavery is indispensable to a republican government,” Calhoun is quoted as saying.
The petition points to Calhoun’s stance on slavery in contrast to Clemson president James P. Clements’ vow to not tolerate racism “in any form.”
“As students, alumni, faculty, staff, friends, and fans of Clemson University and the Calhoun Honors College, we demand that the University — without further delays or excuses — remove John C. Calhoun’s name from one of our most distinguished academic programs. Calhoun, who on the floor of the U.S. Senate advocated for the expansion of slavery as a “positive good,” exemplifies institutional racism and white supremacy.

Why Hopkins doesn’t acknowledge Clemson
Hopkins also linked to the petition on his Instagram page while explaining that the school’s continued use of Calhoun’s name is the reason he doesn’t acknowledge Clemson during pregame introductions on NFL broadcasts. Instead, Hopkins names Daniel High School, his South Carolina alma mater.
“As we watch everything happening in the world, I want to bring up something that has been bothering me for a long time in my community,” Hopkins wrote. “Clemson University still honors the name of well known slave owner and pro-slavery politician John C. Calhoun on its buildings, signs and in the name of its honors program. I felt this oppressive figure during my time at Clemson and purposely do not mention the University’s name before NFL games because of it.”
Hopkins played three seasons at Clemson from 2010-12 before the Houston Texans selected him in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft.
This is my biggest regret! My grandma raise me & mother always tried to teach! However I did not have patience to listen! Please continue to ask!My grandma is still alive and I try to ask her about It every chance I get. I need to write it all down. She sensationalizes things though.
definitely need to make legal immigration easier
I know this is well known around here but you’re a ****ing weirdo.funny
without John C Calhoun Nuk Hopkins would not exist.
is he not smart enough to understand that?

Damn I wish you would be sent to Ban Island.Hopkins is an Angle-Saxon name.
I could not find once reference to anyone named Hopkins from Africa
I think Nuk will need to change his last name to cleanse his soul
You are also cherry picking his quotes and not discussing any where he came out strongly against slavery. He was a politician and wanted to save the union first and said quotes like that to get elected and try and prevent the civil war. Not only was he the great emancipator, He also fought hard to get the amendment passed that gave slaves the right to voteThis is getting absolutely ridiculous.
Well if they do this they’re gonna have to change the name of every monument, school, or building named after any political leader from this era, because pretty much all of them said something racist. Including the “great emancipator” Abraham Lincoln.
Some of Lincolns notable quotes:
I have no purpose to produce social and political equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which will forever for bid him from living together in perfect equality. -Abe Lincoln
I am in favor of the race in which I belong (white) having the superior position. -Abe Lincoln
I believe the Negro race is inferior to the white race. -Abe Lincoln
Make it easy on yourself and ban him yourself by ignoring.Damn I wish you would be sent to Ban Island.
That’s the problem. This kind of ignorance doesn’t end. I just don’t think they understand the big picture here. Smh.Frank Howard Field will have to be changed since he called African Americans “Indians” among other things.
We can change Howard’s Rock to the Unity Rock.
Haven’t looked into Littlejohn but I’m sure he or his family were slave owners because of the times. Rename the coliseum.
University definitely needs a name change. Thomas Green was a slaveowner.
Where does the stupidity end?
Just change the damn name and let’s move on from all this
There is no advantage to keeping it . I really wish they’d change the name of Tillman to old main too . There would really only be a positive impact.
I agree, but where does it stop? Are the monuments and statues of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson next? The left is never satisfied.Just change the damn name and let’s move on from all this
South Carolina was named after a king who supported slavery. We should rename the state and U of SC.
