I am not addressing the incident, just the photo and the story behind it. Their explanation is bullshit because you cannot engage in a behavior that is historically offensive and say we did it for school spirit. No one denied them wearing all black clothing. Wearing black face and taunting black players is not OK.
"It is simply appalling! In addition to the "Black Out" in 2011 they had a "White Out" in 2015 and a *GASP* "Blue Out" in 2010! Is not color safe from these monsters!" See the original Twitter post by a demented lefty trying to stir up trouble and then a response with the truth. There is a big difference between the fans of a team showing up in white-out, blue-out, or black-out... which is common with both high school and college teams than students appearing in black-face. Once again liberals are trying to create fake news out of nonsense. Click through to You-Tube to watch the video of the rally -- it does not play embedded.
I wonder if listing that school on collage apps and resumes will hurt them in the future.I'd certainly toss out any application that had that schools name on it
Did he truly embellish? I didn't really follow up on who reported he was a Vietnam vet. Thought I heard him say it, but dunno if the press ran with it or the guy wanted extra praise. Also, hate speech is protected speech, so dunno where you get off on arresting black protesters. Unless you have no problem arresting kkk'ers for having rallies, did you have the same tone for tiki torch carrying skin heads in Charlottesville?.
Or one might think that having their faces painted black while dressed in all black, on a black theme night has absolutely nothing to do with race. One might also think that they were taunting an opposing player, who happened to be black, but taunting opposing players is what happens at every game regardless of skin color. I suppose it all depends on ones own bias, which admittedly is pretty difficult to dismiss these days.
Everything I have read is saying he said he was a Viet Nam veteran, when in reality he is a Viet Nam era veteran. I suppose a small distinction to some, but a rather large one to those that were actually in Viet Nam. Frankly, that's his own business. It's not like he's running for office. I hold to to account for his actions on the day in questions when he chose to advance upon the school kids when he could have just stayed on his side of the street. I have no problem with hate speech being protected speech. Lets just make sure that applies to everyone, shall we. it's the left that gets all twisted up over the so called hate speech, which now seems to include whatever one decides they find offensive on any given day.
Adults calling minors sexual names is a form of sexual assault against under-aged individuals. Lock them up. In your magical world is propositioning minors to suck your dick acceptable?
I'm just sayin reasonable people can have different views of what those kids were doing at that game. What reasonable people cannot disagree on is who made the first aggressive moves at that protest, and who the real victims are in all of this at the end of the day. It sure as hell isn't the black thugs, the Indian, or the f'n media.
