If nickname "REBELS" has to go, so does the "YANKEES"


Jun 9, 2020, 11:23 AM

Just sayin'...somebody is going to get their feelings hurt either way & it only seems fair. It has happened at many high schools in America---locally, Byrnes High in Duncan had a bit of an uprising a few years ago. So go the Chiefs, Braves, Redskins, Indians----wait, that's another group of protesters!

Rebels in theory were partially fighting for slavery to exist. Kind of apples and oranges as far as who in theory was on the right side of history.

The victor always writes the history...I.E., George Washington would have been hanged and branded a traitor had the Limey's won the Revolutionary War... Ironic that he is soon to be "hung" in Chicago soon by calls to have his statue removed...

Still to go: road/street names, school names, nicknames, US Military base names. Etc. a lot of protesting left to do.

Believe it not, one of my daughters went to college in the Mid-Atlantic region and was called a racist for using the term "Yankees." By a professor.

Common sense is very optional in these discussions.
