Diversity stormtroopers at Ole Miss are asking students to stop using the phrase "the South will rise again" when the band plays Dixie at football games because they say it's hurting the school's reputation, says The Daily Mississippian.
Opponents of the phrase say it represents a piece of Ole Miss' history that offends many groups on campus, including blacks. It also encourages stereotyping, they say.
"We are not saying don't say this, but we are saying please don't say it at this time," says Eruke Ohwofasa, executive director of Diversity Affairs at the school. "Yes, everyone has a right to free speech, but everyone also has the right to go to a football game without being offended by what the person next to them says," she said. "After all, it was the South's battle cry towards the end of the Civil War."

Umm...'scuse me? Ole Miss? South? Fucking deal with it. Don't wanna hear someone say a phrase? Take yer whinin' ass north. We didn't ask you here in the first place. You're in Dixie. Deal with it, or get the hell out. Last time I checked, Ohwofasa wasn't exactly one of them good ol' local names anyways. Go to college in Bwana or where ever. You're a guest...polite guests don't whimper all the time. Crybaby.
