Now we know why he doesn’t mention Clemson.
Rename it "Whatever makes you feel good University" We can have clouds as our mascot. Even though clouds throw shade from time to time, everyone loves them.
Damnit, I was wrong!
Eff one goat, amirite?It’s called history and you learn from it and get better. You don’t re-write it.
I have a nickname that isn’t very flattering of me but I cherish it now because it reminds me of where I have come from. A reminder of what you don’t what to be is great incentive to be and remain better

I think Nuk would 100% agree with you that you can’t rewrite history and that’s why he believes it’s wrong to honor Calhoun.It’s called history and you learn from it and get better. You don’t re-write it.

I can't disagree with a single thing he said.
I understand and respect his opinion.
Clemson should remove the name. It doesn't take away from what Calhoun did for the University but it does represent change in our current environment.

Exactly. Most confederate memorials and honors like this were done long after the civil war an an actual attempt to "re-write" history. Most were done during civil rights movements though, so I have no idea why they would have named it the Calhoun Honors college in the 80s...Changing the name of a program and building doesn't change history. The honors program did not begin with Calhoun's name attached, It was re-named that almost 20 years after the program started. Changing the name now is no more changing history than when they changed it then.
This is the same guy that spread faeces all over his hotel room walls.

Not true. Most memorial monuments in this country are well over 100 years old. Most of them clearly honor dead soldiers.Exactly.

My point is what someone else mentioned, where do we stop vs accepting that it was a part of history. It was what was accepted back then. We have evolved and moved on for the better. Learn from it and never go back to it. Abe Lincoln was a slaveowner. Go read the Lincoln-Douglas debates and tell me what you think about the man that abolished slavery after reading that. Do we erase him from the history books and take down his monuments? There won’t be a monument left anywhere in the country.

The current environment is not the the permanent nor future environment. History is history.I understand and respect his opinion.

This is nonsense.
Abe Lincoln- Lincoln-Douglas debate. This is as racist as it comes.
“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.”
There's a massive difference between re-writing history and deciding who to honor with a prestigious designation.It’s called history and you learn from it and get better. You don’t re-write it.

This is nonsense.
wonder why the Germans haven’t removed evidence or sites of the Holocaust.
I guess they’re still Nazi’s.
Ya’ll are tripping with this stuff man.
