Ten or fifteen years ago it was a joke to come on here and call things racist that were clearly not racist, or take on the challenge of twisting something around to completely change the meaning and call it racist. We'd even make funny memes on it.

Now people actually do that and really believe it, it's really amazing what happened, maybe we at Fairfax Underground bear some responsibility. Only someone who read our posts back then would now say the Fairfax High School Rebels is racist. Who knew people would actually take that seriously.

Then again King's Dominion changed the name of the Rebel Yell.

"Silence and subtle acceptance of systemic racism against Black and Brown people are part of the poison killing America. Fairfax High School’s use of a Rebel as a mascot is a clear and explicit example of this acceptance. We have a duty to call out and demand resolutions for these injustices, which is what prompted this letter today. "
