Everything is under attack right now. Especially something with a negative history. People on both sides dont understand or accept that words and phrases can evolve. And in order for it to evolve, it should be used in a positive way. Like our chain gang has. Only once do I remember someone using it to slur our team. Now that I've read all the post, I think it was even more meaningful, intimidating, and respected than we realized. Bottom line... I'll continue to support the kids and the program at all costs. No matter what they want to be called.

My words for this cannot be posted here. U heard?

I'm not on fakebook, but I've been told that this has been a sour subject on there for years. I'm sure it will come out soon. Let's hope that there isn't more fallout over this.

I have much respect for you and your work here. But now I'm thinking I should have started the discussion. Maybe we could have had an impact on the unfortunate course events. No point in crying over spilt milk. Still wondering who came up with the new name?

This may end up like nascar. Where something was banned, but then it all around the game. Plenty of private property on newton st. I bet there will be a sign somewhere.

Thanks for the lesson on BC. Strange that I know the history of my city but not others around the area. I found that vidor was named after a lumberman. Jasper after a revolutionary war hero killed attempting to plant the American flag at the storming of Savannah in 1779. Now that's history!

What do we call the guys on the sidelines with the down markers now?

Yes we all know that history. I thought maybe they were named after "General jasper" or "colonel vidor."

Perhaps we are not enlightened enough to know the history of these 2 names.

My memory fades with time. It was before 2000. Some of my 99 classmates on here should remember more.

Now introducing the "BLUE LINK" defense. Last season, I had a conversation with an administrator of this site about this same issue. I was asked not to start the discussion then. But times are changing and we must change as well. It will take me a while to get used to saying and hearing "Blue Link". Forgive me if I revert to antiquated phrases. And I will do the same for other members, unless I feel it is used as a derogatory comment.

I understand your idea. But no, it's wrong. In a personal garage, I wouldn't doubt that some people have a noose. Or even have racists slurs inside a bathroom stall. But in a workplace it is not acceptable. For example, at my job, we use a rope to tie up bags to allow water to drain prior to shipping. At one point someone made a complaint to HR that there was a noose hanging. It didn't have 13 coils or whatever that's suppose to mean. But we were told to use a regular knot. Now I'm no boy scout or so my knots aren't always correct. But I would never refer to it as a nword knot. I know some have heard that before.

From the article The FBI report concludes, and photographic evidence confirms, that the garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose had been positioned there since as early as last fall. noose noun : a large loop at the end of a rope that gets smaller when you pull the rope and that is used to hang people, to capture animals, etc. By definition it had no place in a garage. I installed hundreds of roll up doors around setx. Never once did the customer request the pull rope be tied as a noose.

[Hidden Content] I suspected this was another jussie smollett. I'm not a racing fan. But to leave a noose tied up there since 2019 shows Nascar has a problem. Even if it has been exaggerated by MSM, the people waving antiquated flags have shown their true colors. Why keep throwing gas on an open flame?

Happy fathers day to all the dedicated dads out there. I learned many lessons from my dad. First and foremost, treat others how you would like to be treated. This would go a long way towards bringing people together today.

Don't worry, I think those kids are busy practicing baseball. I know one kid from BC that may never play for his home town team. Been talking transfer for a while now.

Yes sir I completely agree. If we are to believe the pyramids were built by slaves. Then wouldn't they be the oldest monuments on earth to need correction by protesters? Its like the irony of the "columbus dispatch" reporting the removal of the Columbus statue in columbus ohio. Why haven't they changed their name yet?

[Hidden Content] Well @Hagar, it was a good run. Didn't realize I was posting links to racist propaganda. Its not just ancient aliens, they want to remove all the history channel's programming. Say goodbye to Pickers and pawn stars, but storage wars is safe. For now...

I think it called a Freudian slip. The truth shall set you free. LoL What about pace picante salsa? The other brand was made in NYC. The most diverse city in the world.

[Hidden Content] No excuse, but this happens every year. We can't jump to conclusions. Until the investigation is complete, we just don't know. 112%
