I lived in the Heights for 3 years dude. It’s one of the most whitewashed neighborhoods in the whole city, save for the enclave cities like West U or Southside Place.
Whites pushing out all minority “holdouts” as fast as possible in the name of rapid gentrification. That’s the Heights.
Wrong dude. Gentrification skipped over The Heights and is only happening north of 610 in Independence Heights. Know Houston better.

No clearly the mob has spoken and it doesn't matter what individuals think about anything anymore. It's just a fascist way of thinking and acting.
Stop feeding the political hack and troll. He gets off on his witty one liners that add no value to anything.

I enjoy the people who mock today's culture as overly sensitive and easily offended, and then a minute later they lose their fucking shit at the mere suggestion that they might not get to sing a song with everyone else at the next football game.
That’s deep and I agree. The term snowflake never made sense. They won’t stop until you lose your job. Ask the latest unemployed editors.

I never even implied any of this. Try not to let your feelings get in the way of logic.

And if African American Alumni don’t agree with this interpretation of the song they don’t get a voice? If one individual feels something is racist other voices don’t matter? We have no more rooms for debate?
It is 2020 those are the rules.

Mr. Sensitive! Nobody said your feelings are invalid.
Pardon me. I have difficulty understanding subtext while reading my primary language.

For someone who loves tradition, I just thought you might be willing to embrace the tradition of correct usage of our fucking language.
Damn. You got me. All of my feelings about “tradition” (dirty word by the way) are invalid because I left out a contraction.

I swear to fucking God I am going to join protestors in the streets and my cause will be to get people to use this phrase correctly.
COULDN'T. YOU **COULDN'T** CARE LESS.
it doesn't make any fucking sense the other way.

Also can we give rep for posts not posted? I’d like to rep Hugo.

Well, no. But you’ll be branded as someone who lacks the perspective to speak on the issue unless you’re an African American athlete at The University of Texas. And that’s fair.
I cannot argue with another persons feelings. That being said should not my feelings around a song and a university matter as well?
Growing up with Texas football brought joy and also a lot of heartache. My old man would always have us stay to the end to sing the eyes. As I kid I remember singing the song with tears in my eyes when PSU beat us bad in the Fiesta or when we lost to Notre Dame at home in 90 something. Don’t get me started on some of those OU games.
No matter the outcome of the game you stood and sang the song and I felt proud even if we were beaten. Because we had that song, and we got to sing it, and the other team did not.
So I am sorry that I don’t want to see the song removed just like that. I could care less what a building is called on campus. But the eyes, damn, that would be tough.
Hopefully there is a dialogue to get the feelings out and we can figure out how to move forward with The Eyes of Texas.

I was in student government from 09 to 11. We debated a lot of stupid shit and we wrote some legit meaningless letters on Student Government letterhead.
The student government was made up of a diverse group of students from many different backgrounds and we ended every meeting with the Eyes. Perhaps it was an issue back then but I was unaware.
A quick google shows in 2018 it was debated whether to sing the song after government meetings.

@CleverNickname the Victor Emporium has some damn good milkshakes too.
I’ll be in Jackson just over a week from now. Spending 2-3 weeks hiking around Teton and Yellowstone.

Cloudcroft is nice because If you miss the heat you can travel down to White Sands real quick.

With something like this I have to ask would Art be for or against it. From there I formulate my opinion.
Good luck Minneapolis. I hope it works well.

I always thought the “No Soliciting” sign really meant, “I have no self control, please ring my doorbell and I’ll buy something I don’t need so you go away.”

I hope to God both of y'all are right that it's just the testing showing more cases.
I hope so too. Data in two weeks or so will be interesting...

Hmmmmm. Generalizations definitely are not going both ways at all.
