Why is this news?

According to the article, we have two posts on twitter and people "saying" that players used racial slurs.


This, people, is not a newsworthy story.

It is barely a Facebook post worthy story.

Surprised that the libs haven't yet blamed southerners for influencing these young northerners to become racists. We could still be the bad guys and they would have both white and black victims to champion.

Racism will never stop because it's fire is flamed by the very victims it claims to hurt.

Entitlements used to keep democrats in power, the Jesse Jacksons, the Al Sharptons.

Further, we are easier to control whilst divided and racism is good for business.

Until we wake up to these facts, we'll continue heading down the road to idiocracy.

Video tonight up on Clarion-Ledger about a noose at a worksite in Melville NooJoosie! One guy says stuff like this happens in Alabama, but not NooJoosie.

Isn't Maryland a northern, extremely blue state?

Having lived in both the North and the South for long periods of time, I disagree. I think both have a great deal of racism, but it just manifests itself differently.

Maryland was a slave state. It's below the Mason-Dixon line.

It's blue, but to call it "Northern" is a bit of a stretch.

White Americans are racist in general all over the country. The economic situation has contributed to it some. Most of it has to do with a majority white population dealing with a black president. They feel threatened by any movement of minorities into the mainstream. It threatens their power and financial base. This country was and is built on power and greed, not freedom. The civil war just ended 150 years ago. It will take several more generations of consciousness evolution to fully work racism out of the ancestral gene pool.

MD and Del were both border states.

Having lived in D.C. it is considered a Northern state.

Check the username. I've been in DC for a long while. I used to think that DC was in the North, but when compared to NYC and Boston, DC might as well be Atlanta.

Maryland is a Southern state. It's not in the Deep South, but it's still in the South nonetheless.

There was an old saying during de-seg in the 60s. Went something like this "White people in the South like blacks as individuals but not as a group. White people in the North like blacks as a group but not as individuals." Boston was a good example. Whites in Boston called people in the South racist. But they held on to opposing de-seg longer than any city in the South


Funny that you should mention that, as this was one of the most published pictures in 1976. This horrific incident happened just after a huge anti - busing rally in Boston.

Tell me again when Maryland seceded from the Union during the war of northern aggression?

The southern states formed the confederacy. Maryland refused to join.

Not exactly. Northern Maryland wanted to stay with the Union and southern Maryland wanted to secede and join the Confederacy. Lincoln also imprisoned pro southern leaders and the state stayed a border state sending units to fight on both sides of the war.
