Just look at all of that racism and violence. I’ll bet there’s even a white person inside the tiger suit. The horror…

Quote:Students at Louisiana State University have started an online petition urging the establishment to change its “Tigers” mascot, claiming it’s the symbol of “white oppression”.

The petition, which has so far attracted 450 signatures, says the mascot was picked by “powerful white males” in tribute to “a Confederate regiment called Louisiana’s Tigers,” who were “known for their propensity for violence on and off the battle field.”

“Louisiana State University named their mascot the Tigers, and they named it during the height of Jim Crow South. This was a time when black men feared for their lives, and were treated as sub human. This symbol is the most prevalent confederate symbol in the United States,” the petition’s opening reads, Campus Reform reports.

The petition’s author claims the mascot is “incredibly insulting” for African Americans because they have to “attend a school that honors Confederate militantism.”

“It is already hard enough to be black at LSU, and these symbols must be changed.”

The student gave another reason why the tiger mascot ought to be changed: “It’s also cruel to cage a wild animal for the amusement of privileged white people. They’ve never been in a cage!”

To illustrate the apparently racist undertones of the mascot, the petition mentions Dr. Charles Coates (the university’s administrator between 1893-1939), who explained back in 1937 that the tiger mascot was chosen because of the state’s Civil War heritage and for the actual Louisiana Tigers’ fierce fighting.

In addition, Coates pointed out to the trend of naming football teams after “vicious animals” like the Yale Bulldogs or Princeton Tigers.

Change it to the ***** Hats. ******* are cats too.

Its worse! The Tiger mascot is ORANGE! He's wearing Trump colors!!!!

This is going to be good.

We'll see if a Louisiana school has the gumption to tell the Pussyhatters to go pound sand.

Are there still manly man in Louisiana or is it been taken over by Liberalturds? We'll see.

Mike the Tiger's habitat is not a cage. He has an entire compound including a lake and is cared for by great veterinarians. Whoever wrote about the actual live mascot being mistreated is an idiot.

LSU alums and students will not give up their Tiger name. I know two LSU grads and they laughed at the stupidity of this.

This is what happens when you have a generation of people who were threatened with timeouts for acting like little a$$holes as children.

Yep. I've been saying this all along. Their tradition of only wearing white jerseys in football is also troubling...
