Someone needs to explain to me, rationally, how that

basketball arena being named after Kentucky's most legendary basketball coach harms one single black (or any other) life. This is just another example of libtards testing the waters to see just how much they can get away with controlling.

I will say that from what I know about the situation with Coach Rupp it seems like this one is a stretch as the reason I've seen cited is because he didn't recruit his first AA player until 1969. I can get on board with changing names that honor guys who were active KKK members, supported the KKK, or were openly racist and/or against racial equality. I have a harder time getting on board with changing names for people who were a little slower to get on board with adding AA players during the 60s.
With that said, in theory I can see where a building or arena being named after a hateful person would be something worth changing. If for instance Hitler had donated a bunch of money to a university before the war and that university named their basketball arena the Adolf Hitler Arena to honor him, I could see where changing that name would be for the best even if it wasn't physically harming anyone.

If ethnic players are so opposed to the name of the Arena, UK must be paying them a great deal of money to hold their nose and sign to play for the Wildcats. Money will trump hurt feelings any day.

All the Fans of Color with season tickets are terribly alienated as well.

This is the gameplan for this socialist/marxist insurgence

Thats why you're seeing these people that are questioning EVERYTHING. Its got nothing to do with healing a culture from past misdeeds. Its about control and a lust for power.
They are trying to uproot our social structure by using our weakness, which is the only way to get control and consolidate power (getting the people to go along to get along.) They are content on using whatever tool they can that wields the quickest results.
The tool for now is racism. And its a powerful tool. It shuts down businesses, it ruins families, reputations, it leads to public officials asking law enforcement to stand down so the mob can enforce their own will,etc. It sounds like a fictional movie but we've seen it for the last 2 months... are we done with it yet? Will the people in the democrat party finally remove the wool from their eyes and recognize that they're being infested with this new radical takeover? Will our school administrations finally stand up to this group and say NO!
The best way to call their bluff is create a round table, free from the mobs and the shouting and the cursing and get those leaders who scream about these atrocities to have a real discussion. I think what you'll find is they don't really know why they ask for these changes and maybe you'll have common sense return. But if you get the mob together common sense is gone and it creates fear for folks and they end up cow-towing to their demands.
Hopefully our administrations, and business leaders, and common citizens (of all Races) will start voicing their opinions in opposition of this takeover. If not, we're in for a pretty rough ride in the coming years.
