I watched it. I learned a few things. But it seemed like a real force fit trying to connect James Meredith and the 1962 football team in the same show. Was surprised to hear Bobby Boyd admit he chucked a molotov cocktail at a US Marshall. I think I would have kept that to myself.

This. Interesting show. But immediately deleted from my dvr. I found more of the recent stuff more interesting. I think the banning of the flags from games could have made for a better show, or any other more recent troubles.

Also, this flag they were waving at the end, ain't fooling me:

Id like to think they would eventually get rid of the ghosts but as long as fathers tell stories they'll be around forever.

Im guessing by this post your implying that no matter how far they go with it some people will never be happy?

They aren't going very far. It still has the look and feel of a confederate flag, without being one. Just paying lip service to their message of changing their ways.

You also make it sound as though Ole Miss has done an amazing job, this is all crap that other schools did decades before (having a black SGA president). I am not impressed.

Ole Miss had a black student body president a decade ago...this was the first female black SB president. Get your facts straight before talking out of your ass. Overall, it was negative publicity, but the truth . The guy that wrote it is from MS but went to Mizzou.

My statement still stands true. Stop being pedantic and pull your head out of your ass.

The United States Army was needed to let a "man" into school. That is deep. What if they were not called in? That **** may never have stopped. They were perfectly happy with what they were doing. With no end in sight. Until the President stood up to them. The President. That **** was deeply entrenched in their system. How did that type of hatred develop?

tell a child something (racism, religion, etc...and by no means am i comparing religion to racism) and bring them up in an environment that supports that claim or belief, and...poof, they are tempered to believe that is how he/she is supposed to think, act, and talk...his/her world view becomes skewed, it's a long slow process to wipe out racism
