It’s amazing that purported UM fans are knocking themselves out to defend small town Boss Hogg SEC schools on a Miami fan site (for you oversensitive types, this is hyperbolic humor).
When we talk about Klan schools - it’s somewhat fan hyperbole, and you closet SEC lovers know it. You just wanted to show your narrow thinking assess on here.
Here is the real deal: most universities, including SEC ones, have their share of progressives, liberals, leftists and very few “conservatives” - that is, on faculty and administration.
But when it comes to sports, and the money people, it’s dominated by old school, old family, moneyed southerners. More than a few descended from slave owning families. Even those that aren’t, are just one generation removed from “Bull Connor” types.
I am more than familiar with these smiling genteel southerners. Now please note, I’m not stereotyping all Southerners, nor any southern towns, or SEC towns, most people that live there are decent genuine people.
But if you don’t think there is an undercurrent of racism running through the moneyed boosters that supply the SEC bags you have your eyes closed to the reality of the situation. And these are the people that make things run.
When we say athletes go to tap dance for the klan, this is exactly what we’re talking about. This is who they’re taking their money from.
if you live in some small southern SEC town or just a small southern town, nobody’s saying you are racist - that’s not even the implication. Those days are gone. But to say that racism still doesn’t exist is insane, especially with the group I’m talking about.
(and before any of you nitwits calls me a liberal a leftist or something along those lines, I am not)
