Yale University was named for Elihu Yale. Not just a man who had slaves. An actual slave trader. I call on @Yale to change it’s name immediately and strip the name of Yale from every building, piece of paper, and merchandise. Otherwise, they hate black people. #CancelYale

I agree!

Yale should be renamed BLM University!

Like almost all universities, they helped to create the haters, and so they should get to enjoy the haters themselves, personally.

Dr. Frankenstein was killed by his own monster.

Yes, but in this case, the moderates can win because Nathaniel Hale was a famous Yale alumni who was executed by the British during the Revolutionary War.

Hale U, all the way!

The Bay State, however, didn't allow John Harvard to own slaves. In fact, very few knew much about him and his statue in Harvard Yard is not from a portrait but from speculations of how he looked.

But John Harvard must have been a racist, because he was a white male.

So they should tear down his statue from Harvard Yard!

What does Nathaniel Hale have to do with it?

Yes, but in that case, it would be British vs Irish and thus, among whites and isn't racist by leftist standards.

He was a CT school teacher and too young to own slaves.

I suppose if he wasn't executed, he could have moved to New Orleans, after the Louisiana Purchase, and got into the slave business later in life.

Uncle Sam, a.k.a Sam Wilson, a Boston area local, was probably a racist because he needed to hire workers for his meat packing plants in upstate NY, since slavery was illegal in the the North. [ sarcasm on ] I suspect he was envious of King Cotton and King Tobacco because they could get labor, free of charge.[ sarcasm off ]

White? Check
Male? Check
Hetero? Check

That’s three strikes!!! How can anyone suggest (fill in the blank) is not a racist? Have you not been watching the news/propaganda? Report to the nearest re-education camp and see if your insanity can be cured. BLM inc!

I only want to cancel Yale because I think that Yale is overrated, alongside Brown and Dartmouth.

I mean seriously, are there any true intellectuals, I don't mean kids who want a resume line item (prior to applying for jobs in finance or management consulting), at those places?

Enough with the finishing houses for the well off and those stupid middle classers who think that being 'Yale' makes 'em special and better than someone at a Cooper Union or a Georgia Tech.

I'm dense, what does Nathaniel have to do with Yale? His statue is on the Yale campus and got torn down?

For one, Hale and Yale rhyme. And Hale was an alumni of the school. It's easy to change one letter vs an entire name from transcripts, diplomas, signposts, etc.

And then, Hale was a martyr figure for the American Revolution. His last statement, that is if anyone actually wrote it down and not embellish it after the fact was, “I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country.”

Well, there you have it, a university, named after a Revolutionary War hero/martyr w/o the chance to own any slaves.

Got it, so you're looking out for Yale in finding an acceptable way to appease the BRATS?

Left today: We must punish white people for something someone did a 100 years ago.
Left also today: We must not punish DACA children for mistakes of their parents.

Harvard is guilty, too.

Black institutions of higher learning and their endowments are putting up bronze statues of white cops shooting blacks, with plaques saying "Thank You, Legal System"

After Yale changes its name to The University of DEATH! NEGRO! 3000!, they can change the school song to the theme from Shaft as interpreted by the 1973 CMCC Warriors.


In future centuries, WW3 researchers will study AFucks comments as a sign of times.

When they said Yale or Jail, they really meant it. Clintons both Yale Law graduates.

Therefore, the equivalent of literally slaveowners.

Now here's the clincher:

When you go to a future Hale University rally, what do you hear from the crowd? ...

"Yay Hale!"

"Yay Hale!"

"Yay Hale!"

What does that sound like when 1000s are saying it in unison?

You guess it, YALE!

That's right, old Eli is back.

In other words, no appeasement, just a way of stealing victory from SJW defeat!

@JesseKellyDC 's twitter is awesome these past few days!

hes on a role calling out all kinds of Yale alumni, and companies/orgs associated with them, for their support of racism lol

Look at this

Wikipedia changed Elihu Yales page, removing the text "slave trader" from his page to help fight the #CancelYale battle.
