I've spent an unfortunate amount of time in Oxford and on that campus, and I would rather gnaw off my right arm at the elbow than to have to see those smug, punchable faces again, in person. The video was like someone opening a vault in my head I had tossed the key for.

It's really disconcerting seeing people like that, essentially maxing out at that age as individuals. Beyond their college years they just age and continue to put others down for the fun of being assholes. They will go far. Some of them will even go on to do big things, like further the class divide.

And wear what you want but fuck that shit those kids wear. Bargain bin ass looking Ken dolls.

There's a good reason why Mississippi has 6 HBCUs.

Bro, you swam in yuppies? It's gotta take years to get the stank out... need to throw away all your clothes, smelling like fireballs, daddy issues and repression in this bitch.

[–] WhyDoYouPersist 5 points 7 months ago

The daddy issues and fireballs are very on point actually, a lot of those boys have really vacant, mean, or just plain generic dads, and then the kids end up working for them the rest of their life. Thankfully I just visited a few times.

Reminds me of this https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/OLC7XNAVXQI6TEFICNX2IS4AXI.jpg

Ole Miss frat boys are known racist fuck heads not a surprise that this happened. Remember what some frat fucks did with the Emmet Till memorial. https://www.propublica.org/article/ole-miss-students-pose-with-guns-in-front-of-shot-up-emmett-till-memorial

I've got an inkling that the two chucklefucks wearing American flag overalls to a protest about two foreign nations may not be the brightest...

[–] FlyingSquid 12 points 7 months ago

Yeah, but you see America was blessed by Jesus personally and Gods needs all the Jews to be exiled to Israel and the temple rebuilt for Jesus to come back, therefore something America yeehaw!

Those morons were carrying "Don't tread on me" flags while actively treading on someone's first amendment right to protest.

These guys are the bottom-of-the-barrel dumb, racist, and valueless.

They look like they know Rex Kwon Do

[–] dogslayeggs 1 points 7 months ago

No, I think you don't get that is their normal day-to-day clothing. They were just walking by and decided to join the counter-protests.

[–] NoSpiritAnimal 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hey I've seen this one before

Reminds me of this pic of angry white women hurling hate at 5 year old Ruby Bridges

The Mississippi governor, Tate Reeves, who himself recently declared April as Confederate Heritage Month and April 29 as Confederate memorial day, celebrated the counter-protesters in a tweet that some say drew parallels to former Mississippi governor Ross Barnett, a proud segregationist.

[…]

Reeves captioned a video of the counter-protesters singing the American national anthem with “the ‘protests’ at Ole Miss today. Watch with sound. Warms my heart. I love Mississippi!”

We knew Mississippi was a trash state, but they felt the need to remind us. Disgusting behavior. Cheers to the kids who made up the protest and especially the one with the sign pointing out that Jesus was Palestinian. Watch the documentary, The Mayor, for insight into Palestinian pride for his origin in their land.

Obligatory: Fuck the South.

Mississippi was getting uneasy with all the bullshit in Florida threatening its status as the worst state in the south

[–] FlyingSquid 12 points 7 months ago

Seems on-brand for Mississippi.
