Minneapolis Cop Murders A Black Man
Had they had a chance to pat him down and know whether he had other arms? I am not sure. I have just seen the Wendy's video where he turns and points something at them.

Jimbo 2021: Meemaw's Got a Brand New Bag
I am not sure FSU cared that much about Jimbo leaving after he got boat raced by a bad Boston College team 35-3.

A specific proposal for UT athletics to create opportunity for african american education
Not a bad idea. I see no harm and a lot of potential benefits.

It would not be a breach of contract. It would be promissory estoppel.

I'm sure that $20 will go a long way.

It's hypocritical and wrong to pull Littlefield's name from shit he donated while keeping the money he donated. There is no "obvious logical fallacy" to that.

I imagine a lot of women allied with the players would have some major problems with some of the misogynistic lyrics in the music on most of these new activists' favorite playlists.

LBJ was pretty damned racist. He has a library on campus. http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/lyndon-johnson-civil-rights-racism

I don't have a problem removing them. But don't keep the benefit. Give them their money back with interest. Would the right thing be to also shut down a school that excluded blacks from admission? Why not? What about cities and towns honoring slave owners? Houston and Austin need new names.

Was the band in blackface when they debuted the song? Wonder if there are yearbook pics.

Some are. For those, the only right thing to do is to return the money. Littlefield certainly donated the money for the fountain. $200,000 donation plus interest for 100 years is a tidy sum.

The school shouldn't keep their tainted money. Donor would have a pretty decent promissory estoppel claim also.

If you pull a donor's name off a building, the money should be returned to the donor's family with interest.

Texas used to be a segregated university. Burn it down.

70s-80s country music is actually good. Need some modern bro country on repeat.

The Whittier stuff is long overdue.

Is it even legal for the school to donate money to a political organization?

Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
Studies vary but most agree symptoms show up as early as 2-3 days after exposure and the average is closer to 5-6 days. 14 days is thought to be the max time for incubation.

Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
Texas COVID hospitalizations fell yesterday. And since more people are being admitted for non-COVID reasons (finally, thankfully), but are being tested for COVID, of course there will be more “COVID” patients in the hospitals, whether they were admitted for COVID or for some unrelated reason and are asymptomatic but positive for COVID.

Is a white Hispanic a person of color? AOC is whiter than I am.
