MLD Woody Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Our country has a lot of racist history, just FYI. Slavery, Jim Crow, etc. It does a number. That being said ... This seems like they're trying to hard. It isn't tied to the original meaning at all. At least as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorka Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 What the fuck? "While I know of no evidence of racism associated with our 'Gator Bait' cheer at UF sporting events, there is horrific historic racist imagery associated with the phrase," Fuchs said. "Accordingly, University Athletics and the Gator Band will discontinue the use of the cheer." The University of Florida won't allow its "Gator Bait" cheer anymore, due to the racist history of the phrase. Mary Holt/Icon Sportswire When the band strikes up the familiar tune at sporting events, fans respond with a chomping motion with their arms and shout "Gator Bait!" African American babies were used as alligator bait, according to the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State University. And in 2020 we abort black babies by the truckload so whats the big deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Kvoethe said: Again...you have no idea. You said "least". That's the least amount of racism out of EVERY country. The entire world. Every country. You honestly believe we're the LEAST racist country? You sure about that? Based on our history.... You think that's better than all other countries???
