Re: May be Germans but they are at it again.

No, no, no, no.
I was all for yanking down the rebel flag from the state house. For all the "heritage" talk it was as inciting as a Swastika and simply did not belong up there, not in modern America.
But insisting that historical figures be perfect is the worst kind of revisionist idiocy. We start retroactively yanking the names off every building every time we decide that somebody from 100 or 200 years ago didn't share all our values and virtues, nothing is going to be left with a name left on it.

I agreed with taking the flag down from the top of the state house, but I was against taking it down from the soldiers memorial. The two are quite different, in my mind anyway.

Focus on things like crime, poverty, child hunger, child abuse; not the name on a building. What a waste of energy, liberals are worthless.

I agree, we should send some real men out there to tell them what to do.

These people are typical spoiled Americans that have no perspective or real problems in life. They don't understand what it's like to fear an oppressive government, to see homeless, diseases children begging in the streets, civil wars that destroy the basic necessaries of life, rape being committed by the very people sent to help you, socialist leaders that have destroyed the economy to the point that people are eating the stray dogs. They need to go to third world countries and see cities made of cardboard, tin and palettes. They actually think that changing the name of a building makes the world a better place. Who are the parents? Whoever you are, you have failed...

People are so dang stupid now just stupid. If it wasn't for those people the buildings are named after there wouldn't be a CLEMSON.

Tanned my Hide And Personally Driven Me Back to Raleigh if I Were Out Playing Protester Kid Instead of Working on My Grades.
I Think Before My Dad Coulda Got Me Sergeant Major Vic Avilles or Major Tommy Wall Would Have Marched Me Out to Clemson Forest And Given Me Some Remedial Training For Protesting Against My Own School.
Maybe I'm Just Getting Old And Have Lost Tolerance For The Folly of Youth. Good Lord Kids I Would Respect You More If You Instead Went on a 2-Day Bender And #### Instead of Some Limp D Protest Trying to Travel Time And Apply Anachronistic Values After The Fact.

Until then (since it will never happen) let's focus on some change that really helps people - like graduating from college

You are aware the Tillman Hall is not the original name of the building, it was Old Main until 1946. Nothing wrong with calling it what it was originally named.

now that we've put RACISM back on the front pages today...
Feb 14, 2017, 10:00 AM

now that we've drug up the bones of 134-year-old sins yet again for a world that apparently has no modern problems;
now that we've pandered to the worst of human nature with the Internet's version of yellow journalism;
now that made sure that politics, and not truth, is running society;
now that we've got the blood pumping for those who simply fail to think on their own;
now that we've segregated society once again between the guilty and the victims;
now that we've ignored the racial problems in every US city to highlight the tired cliche of Southern slavery;
now that we've eschewed real solutions and tough emotional work for the panacea of a name change;
can we please get back to the daily fodder of how insanely unfair it is,
how detestably bigoted it is,
how laughably negative to daily TNET click stats it is,
that DSP was caught up in a beta test of Trump's immigration ban?
