    Every hood rat who knows how to sign his name, so I'd say 4 or 5

    What keeps you from clicking on it, Shane? The first page always says how many have signed.
    Hundreds. The majority are signing just to post their thoughts on the subject and most disagree calling the petition idiotic, stupid, etc.

    On the same level as the petitioner? I still think there's a good chance it's a troll.

    The petitioner has updated it a few times. Here's an example of one of those.

    MAY 31, 2017 — People keep saying "what about the Detroit tigers?"

    Well, what about them? Detroit didn't name it's football team after a confederate unit and LSU did. They were so proud of it that they recorded it.

    I'm so sick of white male privilege. I'm asking the governor to help.
    I scrolled through some of the comments and I believe they are signing it hoping that it'll be submitted to someone with all of the comments attached. I don't know what happens to a lot of these petitions after they've ran their course.

    From a personal standpoint, this tells me all I need to know:

    This is about Southern racism. You should have said, "Ah, bless their cotton-pickin' hearts."

    Then again, you're one of those land thieves, aren't ya?

    You got that right, the talent pool wasn't very deep in my genetic line. Although being of Native American and Asian descent I doubt we owned slaves.

    There's not a race/ethnic group that didn't own slaves. The narrative it is indigenous to European American's is one of the biggest fallacies you'll find in the way history is told today. Within the last few years I read a few books on the Sui and Tang dynasty's and it was more prevalent than most realize. You'll find it in the Ming dynasty where it was a sign of wealth to have a black doorman, etc.

    There are a bunch of people signing it just to tell off the originator.
