CFL: The Racism Gestapo has declared war on the Confederate States of America (which hasn’t even existed for the last 152 years), Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and even Abraham Lincoln.
Now the racism-is-everywhere mob is taking aim at General Robert E. Lee’s horse. Well, sort of.
As reporter Andrew Malcolm of the right-leaning HotAir.com news portal noted, the University of Southern California’s Trojan mascot is under fire. Well, actually what’s underneath the Hellenic mascot is the burr that’s gotten under certain people’s saddle.
Saphia Jackson, co-director of the USC Black Student Assembly is upset that the white Arabian horse that the university’s Trojan warrior mascot rides just happens to have a name that’s almost the same name as Robert E. Lee’s steed.
You see, Lee owned a white horse. USC’s Trojan warrior also rides a white Horse.
Lee defended the Confederacy, which had legal slavery. USC’s Trojan warrior defended Troy, which also had legal slavery. more here
They just need to rename the horse “Fellow Traveler” and the SJW’s should be fine with it.
They should rename the horse OJ

A lot of Native American people owned black slaves, and horses too. They should all lose their land immediately because of something someone did over a century ago.
“Sheeit, mofo’ we be bettin’ onna horse racists alla time!”
Is that a White Bronco?
NYC Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, a communist, says “there should be no monument or statue of Christopher Columbus.” Mayor de Blasio, a communist, agrees and is assembling a taskforce to look into the matter. The goal is to remove Columbus’s statue from Columbus Circle. Also on the block is Grant’s Tomb. Judging from an article in the NY Post there seems to be no real opposition.
Sad indeed.
It must suck going through life being perpetually offended and outraged about stupid shit. No wonder leftists are so hateful and miserable. They’re toxic.
There is nothing more detestable than a racist horse, of course, of course.
@Moe Tom – “Columbus Circle” is sure to be a target, too.
My suggestion for an appropriate new name is “Jerk Circle”.
If the horse was black, would they STFU?
You watch Christmas is next
Traveller was a GRAY horse. Saphia should get her friggin’ facts straight.
The Denver Broncos have a white horse mascot named ‘Thunder’….the original Thunder was an Arabian stallion and then the next two were and are geldings….and that explains the lisp….
I heard ESPN fired this horse.
An angry 18 year old girl, throwing tantrums to dictate complete destruction of a history she is not even old enough to have studied yet.
With a name like Jackson who is she to cast aspersions at a one L Traveler?
