Yale University has come under fire Saturday through tweets pointing out the university was named after Elihu Yale, a slave trader.
The hashtag “#CancelYale” started trending nationwide on Twitter.
In one tweet, from Jesse Kelly, around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, he said he called on Yale to “change its name immediately and strip the name of Yale from every building, piece of paper, and merchandise. Otherwise, they hate Black people. #CancelYale”

Makes sense. Yale’s best sport is galley slavery.

Eating their own is kind of funny.

When does the statue of the old white guy in Fremont who is responsible for millions of deaths and is on the losing side by of history come down?

Eating their own is funny, but in this case that tweet feels like a great troll job

Also, time for Princeton to eliminate any trace of Woodrow Wilson and all Wilson high schools to be renamed immediately.

Arguably the most racist POTUS of all time.

Strike that - there is no argument.

Not only named after Elihu Yale, but founded by him with money that Yale earned as a slave trader. This isn’t just some statue, it’s an entire university built directly with money from the slave trade. Grads call themselves “Eli” after their founding slave trader.

Much worse than a statue of Robert E. Lee. The entire university shut be shut down and given to #BlackLivesMatter as global HQ.

What about FDR?? Dude illegally interned thousands of American born citizens based on their ethnicity.

I think they should be stripped of their endowment and forced to pay it out as reparations. To me.

For the first Tim in my life I'm proud of not having a master's degree.

Asians are several pegs down on the outrage scale of racism. Just barely about the whites. Tied with dot Indians.

I propose they change their name to Woke Forest.
