    I've got bad new for you. Slavery happened. Racism exists. It is a huge part of our history that needs to be remembered and never repeated. Crying about the name of a building is not how that is done.

      My statement about crying was not targeted at you, or suggesting you were doing the crying. Sorry if it came across that way. Both of your points are valid.

      In a different context, however, if there was a building on campus affectionately known as Auschwitz Hall, originally named after Duchy of Auschwitz, Bavaria in 1910 would we keep it named that way?

      That's a stretch. You're trying to compare a man in charge of a concentration camp dedicated to exterminating a race in what is probably the world's greatest tragedy, to a man that had some racist views and actions which were fairly common at the time. I don't want to defend Tillman's actions because he was wrong, but if the only argument for a name change is racism from the late 1800's, why aren't people also arguing to change the name of Clemson all together? Thomas Green Clemson has an interesting background also...

      I'd like to point out that the views represented by Auschwitz and the actions taken there were very common at the time in Germany. Just because someone's views and actions were common at the time does not excuse them, nor can they be ignored when deciding if that person should be honored by having their name on a building.
