The student demonstration at Ole Miss on election night shows that centuries have passed, yet hatred of Blacks have now been instilled in the thinking of young people such as the students who participated in the demonstration. So, this demonstration highlighted that racism is alive and well among so many people. Yet, it's quite ironic how these people are so gun ho when it comes to cheering for their football team which, by the way, has generally fielded more Black than White athletes over the years! I guess that is the two faces of Ole Miss! Times certainly haven't changed much since James Meredith had to be escorted by security on to the premises of the Ole Miss's campus just to simply get an education.
