What you said is largely true, but I can’t help but note that the division of a country/society into the haves and have-nots ,with opportunists exploiting that to their own benefits, leading to the eventual corrosion and collapse of such societies, is a tale as old as time.
We have more comforts than the plebs of Rome did, but when it comes to rights and the strength of our votes, it’s still the same - zero. The ruling class has just been more discreet about that little inconvenient fact.
there are 2 teams alright.
One is for Americans imperfect as it may be.
The other is against Americans, though they will act like they are only against non-white people, American or not.

Calling Atiku corrupt is an understatement. And he could be our next president.
I want to cry.

Interesting read about the original story about these Kentucky HS kids, and now how subsequent stories seem to tell a different side.
Shane that Trump behaves in a different way to MLK.
Boils my piss seeing Conservatives fall over themselves to praise MLK while doing everything they can to stop minorities from voting.
That writer may have failed a second test, I've seen reports today that more videos are out there of this same bunch of MAGA lads being abusive to other groups on the same day.
Let's see how the smirking Sandmann's PR team spin this then.
Yep, almost as nauseating as how they never miss an opportunity to wheel out their ‘PaRty oF LiNcOLn’ nonsense while actively looking to undermine the very principles which motivated the man.
Mango Mussolini would have something else to say if it was black lives matter activists surrounding a vet.
@endless_wheelies Yeah, it's really the left that is despicable isn't it? Notice how you yet again run off when your 'facts' are easily destroyed.
I'm amazed they were allowed into the game dressed in that makeup. How is that not racist and inciting problems?
According to their defenders on Twitter, this is part of a tradition called a “blackout” which is very common at sports events. Not having a clue about this part of American culture, I’ve no idea if this is true:

Also the photo is apparently from 2012, so nothing to do with the kids from the other day.
There's a lad in full minstrel there. Blackface is something very different to black clothes. Feck the defenders of this, they're out of order.

Blackout games are (as far as I know) when you wear black shirts. Maybe @Carolina Red can shed some light on the face and body painting part.
It's a blackout game and there's absolutely nothing racist about it. It's not like they have all dressed in black and/or painted their bodies black to disrespect black people, it's just a theme ffs. It's exactly the same as "white parties" where people wear all white clothes, except there's no PC outrage at those things.
I'm all for tolerance and respect but can we please not make precisely everything into a "they did it because they are racists/nazis/homophobes etc"?
What's with Americans obsession with black? What's the point of this blackout game?
What about the lad in minstrel facepaint on the right of the photo?
It's not the point that it's a few years ago, the point is it is the same school and it shows a tradition of racism. There is nothing wrong with dressing all in black (as long as it's not racially motivated) although I'm not sure how this tradition started or why? But the blackface and full on body paint is clearly a fecking problem!
That's not acceptable nor defensible and it is disgusting.

It's a thing they do.
I don't see issue with it. Rather that than hear England "white wash" the West Indies
This controversy is just playing right into his hands.
Look clearly, there's a good four or five with full on blackface and body paint too. How that's acceptable in every school is beyond me.
Well. Yes there's nothing wrong with a black out game. But then what's with the kid dressed like Jim Crow on the far right (pun intended) of this photograph . Not exactly PC now is it

Crazy that he's objectively mediocre at best, and he's better than the incumbent
"Tradition" or something.
Exactly

Maybe this is what Trump wants.

They will grow up to force themselves on women in college then go on to receive lifetime nominations for the supreme court.
So apparently this is quite common:
But the smile painted on the Covington kids' face seems questionable.
(Edit): this one seems much worse:
America is a weird place.

I agree the kid on the right has unfortunately crossed the line.
However I have no problem with the guy on the left of the photo, there's nothing racist with non-black people painting their bodies black for an occasion like that imo. Context matters.
I guess I just miss the time where people could dress up for an event or a party for no other reason than to just dress up for the fun of it, and everyone else would be happy that they dressed up. Obviously there are exceptions for this, but I hope you get my point.
I can get your point but then...
... ruins it for everyone.
And the proof so far would lie on the side of there being more students like that at that school.
