JACKSON, Miss.-- University of Mississippi football fans who refuse to stop chanting "the South will rise again" are on the verge of losing one of their favorite fight songs, the school's chancellor said Monday.
Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones said "From Dixie With Love" will no longer be played at games if fans continue the racially offensive chant.

How does this fool think he’s going to stop students from chanting? He has certainly not chosen his battle wisely.

racially offensive chant
HUH
These idiots are not even aware of the song or the amount of blacks who sing and chant it too ...
Guess those blacks who have the rebel flag, who fought for the south and who chant the song are all racist too.

I suppose the “good Chancellor” will ban the group Alabama next. After all, in their song “When it All Goes South” the lyrics state that: “Now it really don’t matter what state you’re in. One day the south’s gonna rise again.”
Next time I am in Mississippi and visiting “the Grove” I will be blaring the song from my car.
Sheeesh!

ever see Pelosi’s daughter come down south making a video?
She asked these black guys about how it was down south for them etc.
The black guys turned around and asked why you coming down here trying to make people racists, if you wants racists why not go to the north where you will hear the N word more tha down here.
Pelosi looked confused and left it, but she was well put in her place.
Typical of the bigoted elitist yankee who jocks the south and yet they forget how they are up there with racism and race riots i.e. South Boston where the N word is heard on the street/pubs every day,

they tried to change the name of our schools up in the north east of FL because they were named after confederate generals.
What these left wing elitist ignorant idiots do not understand is that even blacks had and have no problem wit the flag or the names

“The South will rise again” is a racist chant? When did Southern become a race?

Hey your $50.00 dollar bill is worth more today than it was when it was printed. I believe the one here printed in Richmond, Al is worth about $500.00 today, thats a lot more than the US fifty is worth.
