Shoulda Seen This Coming

The University of Southern California calls their athletic teams Trojans – after warriors from the ancient city in Asia Minor, not the other kind of Trojan. (smile)  That’s pretty much common knowledge.

Traditionally, at home football games a sword-wielding Trojan warrior rides onto the field on a horse; that horse doubles as one of the USC athletic department’s mascots.  That too is relatively common knowledge.

Well, it seems as if this has attracted the attention of the SJW crowd.  And, predictably, they       are hell bent on proving to the rest of the world that they are freaking morons       have their panties in a knot       are “not amused”.

You see, the horse ridden by that Trojan warrior at football games happens to be white.  And the horse is named “Traveler”.

So, what’s the problem?

Well, Confederate General Robert E. Lee was white.  And his horse was similarly named, too.

There were some differences, though.  Lee spelled his horse’s name differently (“Traveller”).  Lee’s horse also was grey, not white.  And the rider at USC games is wearing Bronze Age armor – not a Confederate uniform.

But those differences apparently don’t matter.  According to the SJW crowd at USC, the horse is clearly a symbol of “white supremacy.”  So it must be renamed, pronto – or replaced!

I really wish I was making this sh!t up.  But, sadly . . . I’m not.  The abject idiocy I’m describing here really happened.

Sheesh.  What’s next – a claim that typing paper is a”inherently racist” because it also happens to be white?

GMAFB.

    Police radio systems use the terms “Master”
    and “Slave” to describe the networks’ configuration. The terms are also used throughout the electronics industry.
    IEEE beware!

      Hmm. Could we make SJW heads explode by describing how to “slave start” tracks and trucks?

    lucky the horse was not named “pinto”

    paint black panels on both sides and call him “oreo”

    name the next one “macaroni”

      …or just get a chestnut horse named Dewey for the next football season.

    I’d like to point out, Hondo, that the Screeching Social Justice Warrior Howler Monkeys don’t use paper most of the time. While the analogy is apt in regard to them and their questionable mental state, they also wanted last week’s solar eclipse rescheduled.

    However, they should find it quite offensive that the background color for almost everything on the internet is W-H-I-T-E!!! That ought to blow what’s left of their tiny little minds.

    1. rgr769

      PH, are you saying SJW’s don’t use toilet paper? From the insane shit they screech about I could see them refusing to use that omnipresent WHITE toilet paper.

      1. Pinto Nag

        You can buy organic toilet paper. It’s light brown in color.

    2. Ex-PH2

      Well, they use paper towels instead of napkins, so my guess would be it’s either toilet paper or corncobs, take your pick.

    Social justice strikes again!

    Does anyone in “academia” have the balls to tell the SJW’s/snowflakes to sit down and shut the fuck up?

    1. Ex-PH2

      No.

    2. Messkit

      The “academia” have been pushing this ignorant leftist agenda since the 60’s. They cut off their balls decades ago.

    ” What’s next – a claim that typing paper is ”inherently racist” because it also happens to be white?”

    What next? How about light bulbs. They mostly glow or emit a “white-ish” light. Can’t have that, now can we.

    Of course, they could always use “black lights”, that is until they turn them on and see how white objects glow. Can’t have that either. Guess we’ll just have to ban phosphors in our detergents too now.

      How about if they all go over to Chinatown and demand that any shopkeeper with the name LEE change it to something that doesn’t make them go ballistic? And there’s that part of every city with Korean shop owners who have Lee or Li in their names.

      1. Skyjumper

        Using their logic:

        LEE Harvey Oswald becomes Harvey Oswald.

        LEEward can’t be used in boating anymore.

        hoLY will have to have the “LY” dropped and will become “Ho”…which presents a new set of problems.

        Spike LEE shall henceforth be known as Spike.

        Sheila Jackson LEE (a double whammy) shall be known as……..bytch.

        The list goes on.

    It appears to me that all the racism is coming from the people who holler the loudest about it.

    1. Ex-PH2

      For the record, all white horses are called gray, because they all have a gene that produces gray hair.

      The only true white horses are albinos, and they come from the palomino gene.

      The horse in question is a gray Arabian or part-Arabian, from his appearance in the photo.

      The ignorance of the idiots who want to change everything to suit themselves is appalling. If they don’t want to face reality, they should spend some serious time with a shrink.

      1. Retired Grunt

        What, you’re judging the horse now solely based on its outward appearance in a photo? How dare you!!!!

        1. Retired Grunt

          I forgot to put /sarc

        2. Ex-PH2

          But I gave you some pretty videos to look at, didn’t I?

        Oh, no. I only judge horses on their performance. For example:

    It’s being reported that Legislation is being considered to make it illegal to say where & what you had for dinner last night too…It will be mandatory jail of no less than 30 days and a minimum fine of $1,000 if you say you had “Italian”, “Mexican”, “Polish”, “Greek”…etc food. You will now have to refer to it as “Wtf has become of our lives” if you wish to remain free.

    1. Ex-PH2

      Do you have a reference for that?

      1. Skidmark

        I’m joking. But unfortunately, that may be the case in the near future.

      2. Ex-PH2

        You gotta add the /sarc to it then, because right now, it might give someone some truly stupid ideas.

        I will say, however, that asking a Mexican who owns a restaurant where Mexican food is served to drop ‘Mexican’ from the restaurant’s name would do a lot more than stir up a hornet’s nest, wouldn’t it?

        1. Skidmark

          Weren’t they trying that recently in Portland or Seattle? The SJW’s went ass off the deep end again and was asking the street vendors to do just that…drop any specific name for the type of cuisine. We’re in a shit load of trouble as a society if we keep letting these people make the rules.

          1. HMCS(FMF) ret

            Portland… the SJW’s were all butt hurt over the “appropriation”.

            1. Ex-PH2

              I’m waiting for someone to accuse Rick Bayless of thieving Latino cooking, or something like that. I’m just glad I have his cookbook. His recipe for pollos con salsa poblano gratinada is better than the recipe I found in another cookbook.

          2. Ex-PH2

            I think it was Portapottieville, yes. I’d like to know, however, how someone who is Latino, running a street taco and elotes stand, or selling sandias out of the back of his truck, can rightfully be asked by these marones to NOT use Latino names for their own products.

            That doesn’t make any sense to me, any more than it would to ask an Indian owner of an Indian restaurant to stop referring to his restaurant as one selling Indian food, especially if he’s from India.

  8. Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

    Someone should beat some “HORSE SENSE” into these SJW’S. White out pens are next which will screw me up when I put the wrong word in a crossword puzzle. When will things be Jake again?????????? I also wish these peeps will stop “HORSING” around with this LC (liberal/left correctness) stuff.

    News flash. Traveller was not in rebellion against the union. He was just trying to save a man some very hard walking. It is funny to me that the same people who yell about rebels are themselves in rebellion against the legally constituted government. Because as we know, that is the real reason for all of this falderal. SJW are just rebels without a clue.

  13. The Other Whitey

    Having attended two community colleges and one university in southern California (though it was SDSU, not USC), this sadly doesn’t surprise me. Appall, annoy, irritate, and perplex, yes. But not surprise.

    It is possible to get a pretty good education at those schools, but you need to have a good bullshit filter in place going in. I’m thinking right now of a sociology (God almighty, what a waste of time)–total asshole who couldn’t count to eleven without taking his shoes off, by the way–who tried to trot out the claim about the supposed economic need for illegal aliens. When I disagreed, he told me that “they do the minimum-wage landscaping and janitorial jobs that rich yuppie white kids like you won’t do. You don’t dig ditches and scrub toilets!”

    Seeing as how I’m the son of a very blue-collar family (we did okay, but Mom and Dad both had to work their asses off, and during fire season I would often go a month or more without seeing my Dad), was in that school by virtue of an academic scholarship and CSU program that let local kids pay half-price tuition, and had worked my way through high school by scrubbing and unplugging toilets and showers, dumping trash, cleaning a swimming pool, mowing lawns, digging ditches, pumping shitwater out of RVs (at one point, a valve failure while I was crawled under the damn thing resulted in the entire content of a black water tank–someone else’s shit, piss, and asswipe–dumping on me from above; fun day), occasionally doing septic work, that kind of thing, and working for my uncle, who makes his living and provides for his kids that way, you can imagine how not amused or impressed I was by Professor Dicksmoker’s assumption. So I told him about my prior experiences in detail, and that my current job (which I still have 16 years later) also involved all of the same, minus the RVs and swimming pools. He had claimed to know plenty about me based on his “sociological theories,” all of which turned out to be completely wrong. I asked him if he’d ever swung a tool, changed his own oil, or replaced his own tire in his life. He hadn’t. He had pegged me for a privileged, pampered, rich white kid, but it turns out that he just made that assumption because that’s what he was. I told him in front of the whole class that he was completely full of shit, advised him to fuck himself, walked out, and dropped the class. I checked a “rate my teacher” website later and found that most of the class shared my assessment.

    More SJW stupidity from UC Bezerlekey – the ass hurt is strong

    https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9640

    1. Hondo

      Someone should remind the good professor of the following:

      1. UC-Berkely is a public university. It’s part of the University of California system, and is thus an entity of the state of California.

      2. Much (but not all) of the Constitution’s Bill of Rights has been held by the SCOTUS as being restrictions on the actions of state/local governmental entities as well as restrictions on actions of the Federal government. And the First Amendment is one part of the Bill of Rights that has been held binding on the states.

      In plain English: he’s full of it. UC-B is a state school, so it (like the rest of the state government of California and its creations) are indeed limited in what they an and cannot do by the US Constitution.

      Were UC-B a private school, he might have a point. Private entities have much more leeway regarding restricting speech on their property than do governmental entities.
