Lane Kiffin says he left Ole Miss cause they were too racist 😂

[caneingville]

I don’t like to get into race but I’ll tell you this.

Most of you know I grew up in Key West a 4 mile x 5 mile little island where everyone no matter skin color or heritage knew each other and were good friends.Never thought much about racism cause I never experienced it much if at all growing up.

When I got to New Orleans In 1982 it didn’t take me long to find out that this place was a whoooooole lot different than where I came from.I never heard the N word used so much when white people spoke in my life.I mean you talk about a culture shock….lol

I have very few good friends now cause I kind of separated myself over time to get away from a lot of this and I’m talking white towards black,black towards white and asians and Spanish towards everyone. So if Lane thinks he got away from racism moving 100 miles or so west he’s in for a rude awakening but I’m pretty sure he knows that and all that about Ole Miss being the reason he left is BS.

And it's still as bad as in the early 80s? That's crazy.

In today’s world of **** and **** everything is racist and every excuse for a persons action is racism. How many clicks are in his locker room? This man is a total joke. When it comes to color, green is the only color this clown prefers.

Yes but now it’s because everyone seems to hate everyone else not so much white towards black as it mostly was when I got here. The violence in the New Orleans area is bad and as much as they advertise the French Quarter if you’re visiting and are down there at night you have to be aware of where you’re at. If you’re walking down there and get off on one of the side streets you might not come out at least not as healthy as you went in….lol. The gangs of homeless young people who are on every corner and travel in packs have become a bad problem as well.

The drug/gang situation has spread from NO East to Kenner to the West Bank. I moved across the Causeway to Covington to get away from it as have thousands of others who are willing to drive the 24mile Causeway every morning and afternoon going to and from work.Its a LOT safer over here and hasn’t been taken over by most of the things that have ruined or is ruining New Orleans and all the areas around it.

But to answer your question is it as bad as ‘82? I’d have to say yes but for many different reasons some of them that I listed above.

And go where?

Kiffin, Sark and Sumrall.

What a clown show with these coaches.

Talking **** and using social media like teenage girls.

 

[Hold My Beer]

Gonna say it again.

Kiffin gives off vibes of an insecure school teen-aged girl the way he feeds off messy social media.

Telling y'all that weirdo is hiding something

Wouldn't surprise me at all. I don't know any men his age that act like this. Sure, most of them like young, hot women, but our age group isn't really into the messy social media thing.

Man you can walk down vibrant Canal St at night and it appears safe with all the lights and people. You stop at an intersection and glance down one of those dark alleys and you realize that walking 30 feet down that road could be a death sentence. It's wild.

NOLA is a dump.

 

[LMCane]

For sure. LSU’s tigers are named after the Confederate regiment from Alexandria, LA I believe which is where LSU’s first campus was located.

THIS IS IN MY NEW BOOK!!

The "Louisiana Tigers" were part of the Confederate I Corps under Stonewall Jackson

Originally applied to a specific company, the nickname expanded to a battalion, then a brigade, and eventually to all Louisiana troops in the Army of Northern Virginia. The origin of the term came from the "Tiger Rifles," a volunteer company raised in the New Orleans area as part of Major Chatham Roberdeau Wheat's 1st Special Battalion, Louisiana Volunteer Infantry. A large number of the men were foreign-born, particularly Irish Americans, many from the city's wharves and docks, with previous military experience in local militia units or as filibusters.

Tigers were approximately twelve thousand Louisiana infantrymen who served in the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia from First Manassas to Appomattox.

Instead of standard Confederate gray, the Louisiana Tigers were known for colorful uniforms comprising bright red shirts, billowing pantaloons of blue and white striped fabric, red fezzes with blue tassels, and sometimes blue jackets with red embroidery — influenced by the Turkish Zouave style. As the war went on, this garb was replaced by Confederate uniforms and what clothing the men could purchase or otherwise obtain from civilians.

The Tigers had a dual reputation — terrifying in battle, but notorious off it.
Their infamy exploded in the wake of the Union's Peninsula Campaign, with the press repeatedly reporting on their drunken brawls, livestock killings, and indiscriminate thievery.

During the First Battle of Bull Run, Wheat's Battalion played a key role in repelling Union forces, even after the major took a bullet to the chest.

During Stonewall Jackson's 1862 Valley Campaign, the Tigers fought at Front Royal, Winchester, Cross Keys, and Port Republic. Their fierceness in battle earned them the praise of Jackson himself.

At Gettysburg, Hays's Brigade played a crucial role in the Confederate victory at the Second Battle of Winchester, and at Gettysburg itself stormed East Cemetery Hill on the second day, seizing several Union artillery pieces before withdrawing when supporting units were not advanced.

In the autumn of 1863, more than half the brigade was captured at the Battle of Rappahannock Station, and 1,600 men were shipped to Northern prisoner-of-war camps, many to Fort Delaware.

In 1864, under General Zebulon York, the Tigers joined Jubal Early's drive down the Shenandoah Valley, taking part in the Battle of Monocacy and the attack on Fort Stevens — bringing them within striking distance of Washington, D.C.

By the Appomattox Campaign, many regiments were reduced to less than 100 men apiece, and Brig. Gen. William R. Peck had become the Tigers' final commander. At the end of the Civil War, only 373 Tigers remained on active duty.

A quarter of these soldiers did not live to see the end of the war. Fueled in part by romanticized narratives of the Lost Cause, their renown only grew in the decades that followed — and in 1896, Louisiana State University adopted the name "Louisiana Tigers" for its football team.

I've read murders have dropped significantly over the last few years since I've been down here, I'd say petty crime is high. Most of the real crime is outside of the touristy areas which have more police presence. Also live in the Northshore but work in the city and basically kick it out here all the time. Haven't had any issues tbh but that is anecdotal. Tbh as long as you're not in the trenches of the city like little woods, bywater etc you'd prob be ok. Crime happens in any city unfortunately.

 

[CityboyCanes4life82]

dudes the biggest troll of all time.. now he’s using the race card. They might not let dude back in that state

I don’t understand how any black parents could send their kids to Ole Miss, not with confederate flags all over the place and that racist looking mascot. My child would never go to Ole Miss.

Have you eaten at Rocky and Carlo's in Chalmette yet? What about Salvos in Belle Chasse?

The confederate flag was only removed from the state flag six years ago.

Nah but they have some good ratings though, might check it out

I didn’t say anything about murders even though there’s usually 1 or 2 each weekend.As to Petty Crimes I’m not sure what you consider “petty” crime.Petty crime to me is shoplifting, stealing a 6 pack from the corner 7-11or that type thing. Carjacking, assaults and robbery I don’t consider “petty” crime and they are all up in the city.Murders even though down is kind of deceptive since it’s not hard to be down when your coming down from all time highs.

All those areas you mentioned are all in the East but you didn’t mention Kenner or areas on the Westbank like Marrero where gangs have taken over most of the apt.Complexes and if you’re smart you don’t go in most areas after dark.The place I worked at got robbed on a Saturday afternoon on Carrollton and Tulane by a guy with a gun of which he used to crack me on the back of the head with.

There’s a reason the Causeway is packed every morning and afternoon by commuters going to and from work.Its because most anyone with the means has moved to get away from the crime and not because they enjoy a 30-45 minute ride across a 23.9mile bridge in traffic that you pray every time you get on it that there’s not an accident or a breakdown on it where you may be stuck for several hours.

I’m not saying ALL of New Orleans is crime ridden cause it’s not and like most cities it has it good and bad areas it’s just that in the 40+ yrs I’ve been here those good areas have dwindled greatly while the bad and REALLY BAD areas have spread considerably.
