the kids were indoctrinated into some insane pro life beliefs (and likely a bunch of other stuff) enough to go out and march for it, and people think their lives aren't already ruined lol

Booourns posted:I'm not sure I understand the people saying these kids lives are forever ruined, couldn't the kids acknowledge that what they did is wrong, apologize and work to be less racist shitheads? Or is that something they can't even imagine someone else doing Ideally that's what should happen. High school kids do dumb poo poo. This a good opportunity to take them aside and explain to them the dumb poo poo they did and using it as a learning point. But it makes people feel better to denounce them as the Hitler Youth and hope that their lives are forever ruined. I really don't think they should be expelled though. My reason for this is they were at a school function with school chaperones. It's the adult's job to exercise good judgement and control the situation. It's why society makes a distinction between legal adults and children. https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/2019/01/20/students-seen-mocking-native-americans-could-face-expulsion/

They may have just painted themselves for the game like a lot of superfans and were dumb enough to not realize what it looks like/why heckling a black player when you look like that would be a awful idea.

Is that Catholic school part of the Skull and Bones secret society or something? Also lol at the notion that we don't have to care about certain levels of discrimination. Jeez, quit whining about the public intimidation and discrimination, minorities and LGBT community, it's only weirdos, WE DONT CARE

There’s some incredibly bad takes around the issue of the school kids on Twitter. But this was by far my favourite. https://twitter.com/pamelaparesky/status/1087219284726697985?s=21

Uh no. blackface is never acceptable and any sane teacher or parent would not have let their kid wear that to a game unless they we're racist already and wanted to cause scenes. It's well known for decades how racist blackface is. That is a great sign of how those kids and school are.

I mean, I did dumb poo poo as a teenager too, but verbally harassing another person for being part of another ethnic group wasn't one of them. Mine mainly involved fire and bike stunts.

Every time this happens we get a couple people who haven't been paying any attention for six years rehashing the 'edgy teenage shithead? or literal Nazi?' debate like it actually matters. GOSH, HOW WILL THEY EVER LEARN IF WE'RE MEAN TO THEM

If your school colors are black and white, why would you paint your face entirely black or use white only to give yourself exaggerated lips?

It wasn't until just a few years ago I knew of the other meaning of that hand signal. it definitely does mean 'okay,' it's only in the last few years that the racists have successfully subverted the meaning and even there, it's only going to be a particular subset of pretty-online people that understand the intentionally-racist white power meaning. hence all the arguing over it when, say, one of stephen miller's disciples does it repeatedly on camera in a hearing, and the complete refusal of older journalists to even admit it was a possibility

Also to be clear as someone who went to a high school where sports were huge, never once has 'blackout' meant 'paint yourself'. If people wanted to go nuts they'd wear the full body black suits or whatever but somehow my public school in the actual south managed to say 'and yea if you show up in blackface you're fuckin suspended, idiot'.
