Most evil? Maybe tied. But Stalin was at least as bad. Some others too. Mass murder? No contest. Stalin wins.
From this list, Mao is #1 followed closely by Stalin, then a big drop to Hitler.

Traveler, USC's mascot, comes under scrutiny for having a name similar to Robert E. Lee's horse
When Richard Saukko galloped his chalk-white Arabian horse named Traveler around the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum almost 56 years ago, it was supposed to be a one-time stunt.
Instead, the brief performance before USC kicked off its season against Georgia Tech turned into one of college football’s iconic traditions. A succession of white horses named Traveler have followed — Traveler IX debuts this fall — trotting out of the tunnel as “Conquest” plays and the costumed Trojan warrior atop the horse waves a sword. But during a rally earlier this week to show solidarity in the aftermath of the violence in Charlottesville, Va., a USC campus group linked the name to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, whose favorite horse was Traveller.

Old White boy excuse. If Africans wee taking white women for sex slaves white men would be up in arms SO TYPICAL. But you're white so your right

Just wondering, should certain foods be banned because they are used in racial stereotyping? Watermelon, Chicken, burritos, rice are among the leading candidates.

1. Mao 45 to 75 million
2. Stalin 40 to 62 million
3. Hitler 17 to 20 million
4. Chiang Kai-Shek 10 million
5. Hirohito 6 million
That's interesting. I'll have to revise my outlook. I checked out some other "rankings" and it looks like Mao is indeed #1.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star? Deep Purple: No One Came
Well, now people in Baltimore are going after Columbus too.
"Christopher Columbus monument vandalized in Baltimore
A monument in Baltimore to Christopher Columbus — believed to be the first one erected to the Italian explorer in America — was vandalized.
Baltimore Police said they were looking into the incident, but couldn’t say when the damage took place.
A video posted to YouTube on Monday by a user named “Popular Resistance” shows a man striking the base of the monument near Herring Run Park repeatedly with a sledgehammer. Another person holds a sign that reads: “Racism, tear it down.” Another sign is taped to the monument reading: “The future is racial and economic justice.”

This normally would be in the FCS football forum, but it's so political that I put it here...
And, with stuff like this, we no longer need the Onion...
In a story that seems made for The Onion, but is actually true, according to multiple Outkick fans inside ESPN MSESPN decided to pull an Asian college football announcer named Robert Lee off the William and Mary at University of Virginia college football game because they were concerned that having an ASIAN FOOTBALL ANNOUNCER NAMED ROBERT LEE would be offensive to some viewers.

The announcer in question is Asian-American - wonder how and if this would've gone down if the guy was a different race than that - heck, what if the guy was an African-American, would they have pulled him from the broadcast?
