repositioning of its mascot to a less offensive, less violent, less colonial symbol. Evidently the bear was a symbol of white dominion over the native peoples and Hispanic people.
Maybe we should take notes on USC's mascot, seems to hit all the LGBTQ marks as well as celebrating failure instead of victory for a more even, inclusive playing field (if you recall, Troy fell like Josh Shaw off a balcony).
Um, the Trojans failed right into founding Rome, the most successful empire ever. Aeneas[edit]
The national epic of mythical Rome, the Aeneid of Virgil, tells the story of how Trojan prince Aeneas came to Italy. The Aeneid was written under Augustus, who claimed ancestry through Julius Caesar to Aeneas and his mother Venus. According to the Aeneid, the survivors from the fallen city of Troy banded together under Aeneas and underwent a series of adventures around the Mediterranean Sea, including a stop at newly founded Carthageunder the rule of Queen Dido, eventually reaching the Italian coast. The Trojans were thought to have landed in an area between modern Anzio and Fiumicino, southwest of Rome, probably at Laurentum or, in other versions, at Lavinium, a place named for Lavinia, the daughter of King Latinus. King Latinus agreed that Lavinia marry Aeneas. This started a series of armed conflicts with Turnus over the marriage of Lavinia.[4] Before the arrival of Aeneas, Turnus was betrothed to Lavinia, who was then promised to Aeneas, starting the war.[4] Aeneas won the war and killed Turnus.[4] The Trojans won the right to stay and to assimilate with the local peoples.
