Could not tell from the link, what is the racial make up of the team and coach?
That's what I'm trying to figure out too.
Is this a predominantly-white team that only plays predominately-black teams?
Seems like that would be a important piece of information in deciding if this is "racist" or not.

How long before white people aren't allowed to wear clothing made of cotten?

I am just glad not one of these race-baiters can in any way, shape, or form impact my life personally. I went to private school and so will my children. I do not work for the government nor will I ever. These assholes can't touch me.

would you take the same stance if an overwhelmingly black football team's "victory ritual" was to urinate on and then stomp a Confederate Flag into the dirt when they have defeated an overwhelmingly white football team?"
I think it would be more equivalent if an overwhelmingly black football team's "victory ritual" when they have defeated an overwhelmingly white football team was to eat crackers while making honking noises.

According to Charleston school-board member Mike Miller, a parent approached him and said he was offended by the students eating watermelon. The parent also alleged some of the kids were making what sounded like monkey noises.
How has KFC skirted the whole racist thing?

Why do you guys act like the watermelon stereotype is a facade?
Posted on 10/23/14 at 4:04 pm to StrongSafety
I don't understand. What do you mean? Watermelon is delicious.

It's as if these offenses don't come from anything

Does this include every application, use, and/or consumption of that product?

So white children can't eat watermelon today because of minstrel show shite from the 20s?

Maybe he shouldn't be fired but he should know his audience and what may be perceived as offensive.

Oh...it exist.
But should we ban watermelons? White basketball players? Asian female drivers? Nagging wives? Mexican laborers? Drunk Catholics?
can we put these stereotypes in a hierarchy so we know which are kosher to mock and which ones are not.

Anyone can perceive anything as offensive.
These were kids eating fruit.

Well crap. Sorry son we can't eat cold watermelon at the beach on a hot day cause I can't tell who may or may not be offended. Sorry to you farmers too. Your crops may or may not be offensive.
