gogamecocks you are horribly ignorant Ole miss doesn't use references to slavery and there is no way in hell our nickname will be going anywhere our mascot is one thing but taking away anything else would be absurd your just another ignorant fan talking trash
You're right about the nickname coming from a yearbook. But where do you think the name of the Mississippi year book came from? Ole Miss is a nickname with absolute ties to slavery and it's pretty sad that it continues to be used. Ignorance is the pedestal on which this nickname stands. This is the 21st century, bud. Slavery was abolished a long time ago.
"Ole Miss is a nickname with absolute ties to slavery "
No it isn't... get over it and find something new to complain about that isn't racist.. it isn't going to change, if it was directed about slavery it would've changed by now
"This is the 21st century, bud. Slavery was abolished a long time ago. "
no shit sherlock
people like you thinking everything is racist , is one reason why racism still exist
no go look up some Confederate flag videos and cal them racist
Dude, the actual meaning of the nickname is documented in a lot of literature. For starters, go to the damn Lyceum on campus you moron. You can justify it any way you want. Whatever makes you feel better.
I told you where to go. Again, for starters, it's right in the middle of the Mississippi campus - at the Lyceum. Read Wikipedia. Which, by the way is monitored by moderators, so any unwarranted or false change in existing literature will be edited back to the original. Read some stuff by Steve Cody. Read some exerpts from the literature "Say My Name: An African-American Family History".
Was Wikipedia the only source I recommended? I don't believe so. There's a plethora of information at your disposal.
Do I really think Mississippi would vote to have a nickname with roots to slavery? Absolutely. After all, the school waved the Confederate flag for decades. The school, along with the governor at the time (who was an alumnus of Mississippi) did everything in their power to keep James Meredith off of the campus. What's so hard to grasp about that?
People like me keep this country from moving forward?
Hey, people like me aren't the ones waving Confederate flags, yelling "The South Will Rise Again" at the end of games, or calling a school in which we support by a racist nickname.
So you're taking your ball and going home? Do you want some french cries with that whahhburger?
Get used to calling it Mississippi, bud. You're defending a racist nick name that eventually will see it's demise. Although I would expect nothing more from a racist Reb.
get over it man, rebels is a different word than confederates. it can mean many things and really every1 needs to get over the whole racist issue. its over and done with and its time to move on. we as a country need to be concerned with bigger things than skin color. and as for the "ole miss" statement, why would a university don a name for a slave owners wife to be what stands for the university. thats a dumb comment. and why change tradition anywways. let it be and move on!
Why change tradition anyway, you ask? Well, for starters, they have already discontinued the Confederate flag because of racial issues, and that was a tradition at Mississippi. So discontinuing the nickname "Ole Miss" should be next. I for one am offended by this, like many of my colleagues. This should not stand, for it is a direct reference to slavery.
so ur telling me that i should drop my heritage because ur offended? i dont think so. ole miss shouldnt have to either and theyre not. if it was such a big issue then dont u think blacks would quit signing with OLE MISS? ur probably a racist black person, yes there is such a thing blacks can be racist also, who is trying to eliminate evrything the white man has done. well good luck cuz its not gunna happen. long live the OLE MISS REBELS and take ur crying party somewhere else
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
and as far as a nickname being offensive, i think yall should change the gamecocks, it offends me, cruelty to animals its pathetic and ur school dons a name for a fighting rooster that people gambled on. so if u wanna be fair then lets see yall change the gamecock name. how does that feel?
For the record, we have done something abut our mascot. We received heat from PETA and now our mascot no longer sports spurs. But back to the original issue, there will be a movement to change Mississippi's nick name. It's horribly offensive. It's the 21st century. You guys should stop using references to slavery. And yes, the university will change it. It's only a matter of time now that the true meaning of the nickname is beginning to get out.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
still the name gamecock is a fighting rooster. removing the spurs doesnt mean anything. and there is no meaning to the nickname rebels. ole miss is a southern heritage college and nothing is goin to change at ole miss. they took the mascot colonel reb away and thats about it. thats all theyre gunna do. ur an idiot if u think colleges should change things that have been around for over 100 years. if every1 fussed like you do then no college would have a nicknames
You had your Confederate flag for over 100 years, and the university changed that. You had Col. Reb for over 100 years, and the university changed that - all because of racist implications. Now the nickname "Ole Miss" will be next. Mark it down. It's a disgrace that you are even defending it. I'd get used to calling the university by it's real name: Mississippi.
It's not the name "Rebels" that's offensive. It's the nickname "Ole Miss". It's what the slaves used to call the wife of the plantation owner. I, like many of my collegues, am offended by this. Something needs to be changed, and it will be.
If I was offended by that, I wouldn't have set it as my user name in the first place. Surely one who supports a school that has Jerrell Powe on the Dean's List can come up with something a little more creative than that.
If you're sick of talking to me, then why do you keep talking to me? I can't believe you are defending such a racist school nick name. It won't be long until someone in a high place catches wind of the real meaning behind the school nick name, and you'll have to get rid of all your shirts and buy some that say Mississippi.
I had a blast in this group...and can hardly wait for football season to start! It's on! The Rebs are for real this year and Dexter is a huge part of that.
sweetolemiss: you really shouldn't be using the nickname "ole miss". it's what slaves used to call the wife of the plantation owner. it's a pretty racist name. hopefully the university will realize this and change it soon.

Ole Miss was the name of the University of Mississippi's yearbook
there was a contest on what to name the yearbook and the students voted for the name "Ole Miss"
there is nothing racist about, but since you are obviously racist and like to bitch like the pussy you are
believe what you want.. and i'm sure you will get the last word in to try and prove me wrong
but what i said is the truth, wikipedia is not always right due to people lying

are you serious? that is your source, yes it is monitored by mods but do you have any idea how much untrue crap is on Wikipedia? obviously not
you really think a University's student body would vote to have the name of a yearbook a racial slang for what slaves called slave owners wives?
if it were racist it would've been changed by now..good bye dick

watch a fucking movie.. there are plenty of them that refer to MS as "the Ole Miss"
it's dumbasses like you that think every fucking thing is racist..
I think cotton is racist because slaves use to pick it.. why is brown rice called "wild rice"? and white rice is just simply "white rice"
just stop.. people like you will keep this country from moving foward
