Fratty assholes don't speak for all of us. They're just the ones who get the press.
For anyone who doesn't detest folk music, the Chad Mitchell Trio song "Alma Mater (About Ole Miss)" is always worth a listen... and is apparently still relevant.
@7, war has been seen by that party as way to advance its own interests since independence. Slavery was a justification for attacking the south and a way to keep the British from intervening in the war.
It was actually about thirty drunken frat boys and about a hundred or so underclassmen who showed up to see what the hell was going on. The very next night (earlier this evening), I'm told over 1000 people showed up for a candlelight vigil protesting against racism. Please do not judge Mississippi by what its most retrograde elements have to say while hopped up on Jim Beam and false courage.
