The left and the media has found something new to be offended by and to call racist. The USC mascot of Tommy Trojan riding a white (Arabian) horse named Traveler is now considered hateful, racist and comparable to Robert E. Lee. The left is call on USC to change it’s mascot. This is how absolutely ridiculous the left and their enablers in the media have become.

Instead, the brief performance before USC kicked off its season against Georgia Tech turned into one of college football’s iconic traditions. A succession of white horses named Traveler have followed — Traveler IX debuts this fall — trotting out of the tunnel as “Conquest” plays and the costumed Trojan warrior atop the horse waves a sword. But during a rally earlier this week to show solidarity in the aftermath of the violence in Charlottesville, Va., a USC campus group linked the name to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, whose favorite horse was Traveller.
At the rally, according to the student newspaper the Daily Trojan, Saphia Jackson, co-director of the USC Black Student Assembly, asked students not to be quiet, and reminded that “white supremacy hits close to home” and referenced the name of the Trojans mascot.
The Black Student Assembly did not respond to requests for comment, but questions about the name’s provenance have increased on social media in the midst of the national discussion on race.
This is what our college system has devolved into with all the Marxist professors and indoctrinators. A white horse named Traveler is now a symbol of white supremacy. What’s next? I cringe to think what might be next. You left wing race hustlers are an absolute joke.
Maybe USC should re-paint all it’s white painted buildings, because they must represent white supremacy.
