Covington Catholic Basketball game [View all] Cattledog Jan 2019 OP

Look at the students in blackface on the left and right. riverbendviewgal Jan 2019 #1

Disgusting! FM123 Jan 2019 #3

Look closer: There are 4 students in blackface in that photo LakeSuperiorView Jan 2019 #4

I was too hasty to post riverbendviewgal Jan 2019 #6

I almost replied saying there are two. LakeSuperiorView Jan 2019 #41

the one next to the player is on the basketball court shouting scarytomcat Jan 2019 #54

Note the white power sign of the kid on the floor MaryMagdaline Jan 2019 #103

That's a white power sign? I don't know these things. scarytomcat Jan 2019 #115

Yes it's a WP sign. See other posts saying it is a 3 point sign. MaryMagdaline Jan 2019 #123

I'm sure the audio to go with that would be quite eye opening. Takket Jan 2019 #2

No need for audio. The kids in blackface are already speaking volumes. yardwork Jan 2019 #10

Oh geez!!!! Takket Jan 2019 #15

Take a look at the one on the right. yardwork Jan 2019 #21

Yeah... blackbody... when blackface isn't racist enough for you Takket Jan 2019 #23

Not just that - the white markings, stereotypical caricature. Very ugly. Very extreme. yardwork Jan 2019 #45

Looks like the Covington Catholic High School is a breeding ground for democratisphere Jan 2019 #5

You can hardly blame an entire religion for one school. whathehell Jan 2019 #105

This is a so called Catholic School owned by the Catholic Religion. democratisphere Jan 2019 #122

The Catholic Church doesn't preach racism, in fact it regards it as a sin. whathehell Jan 2019 #130

Since Covington apparently does not teach the values of the Catholic Church democratisphere Jan 2019 #131

Lol...Teaching doesn't guarrantee learning. whathehell Jan 2019 #132

This is a private Catholic School with a definite agenda. democratisphere Jan 2019 #133

Public schools have "a definite agenda".. Should we shut them down whathehell Jan 2019 #134

is this for real or photoshopped? beachbum bob Jan 2019 #7

Is the white supremacist hand sign photoshopped? I think not. yardwork Jan 2019 #17

The kid to the immediate left of the Clark County player is making that white supremacist troll sign yardwork Jan 2019 #12

Nope. That would have the index finger on the thumb, not the middle finger. Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2019 #14

Whatever. Looks like he's making "the sign" to me. Execution imperfect in the moment. yardwork Jan 2019 #19
