OT: The aggy way

Probably not a stone we — or alumni and fans of most other schools in Texas, the Deep South, or southern border states, at the least — should be throwing.
 
Digging through my past, I found slave owners and one individual that wrote some terrible letters about the things going on in Mississippi during reconstruction. He was upset at who the North put in charge of his small part of the world. It was so extremely hateful and disgusting I was shocked.

Then I realized my family got a real taste of Karma when we basically lost everything after the Civil war. Went from Slave owning plantation owners to poor white trash drunks. Took 3 generations for us to ditch the effects of slavery.

What's really funny to me, is that on my mother's side they came from slaves. So on one side I have slave owners and on the other, slaves.

And then there is me, A good looking SOB. With love for everyone, except those racist aggsy.
 
As a father of a multi-racial family, this should be treated as a learning moment. We can't change the past but we can learn from it.

I teach my children acceptance. If you're older like me you likely grew up with the comments from your dad (in my case step dad). This kind of hatred is often passed from father to son.

To this day my step dad holds deep prejudice. Doesn't mean I love him any less, but I'll be damned if I pass that into my children.

Toss out the Aggie hate, but in the end we are all sons of Texas. We either own it, or bury our heads in the sand.

Gig' em.

See, here is the thing, I can love an Aggie, great people when you are around them individually, but get them in a group of 3 or more and they transform into this thing we like to call aggsy.

That is when the group think takes over and all of a sudden things like T-Shirt Sip and TU start to flow. Then you start hearing Whoop and Gig'EM and at that point I get away before they start looking for a glass to Jizz in and a bathroom with a glory hole.

Let that group get bigger and now you have a real problem, you have SECSECSEC and Trust the Jimbo and finally you have texags.com

There is that 2% of Aggies that are really cool, I can hang with them any day.

Oh and just so you know, I feel the same way about the idiot horn fans on Surly Horn, I'm sure it's just me being old, but some of those guys if I met them in person, I'm sure I would end up kicking their scrawny little asses.
 
Yes don't throw rocks in glass houses but until it comes out IF it happened at UT then yeah publish it until then.....
Lemme go ahead and tell you first hand---- I went to a few parties at different frat houses (though I was never in a frat) where people did it, and there were TONS of photos being taken.

Let's all realize that stupid people do stupid things at every university.
