Exactly, Philips was there to cause trouble and nothing more

All the chanting they were doing and clearly mocking the NAs.

I don’t need to post video. It’s been posted already.

Two wrongs make a right I guess.

Oh and boys will be boys.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

When did I comment on the guy standing there with the stupid look on his face?

The a few tomahawk chops and plenty of mocking, chanting and dancing.

The Indians were chanting and dancing too.

Lots of racism going on out there.

This just in. the kids have bean invited to the White House, when the shut down is over of course...lol

We usually look to what society deems acceptable as a litmus test. You and any others are claiming that their chants and chops are racist and mocking. But someone posted a video of a sporting event as recent as 2 years ago where an entire crowd is dressed the same in red and doing the chop and chanting.

So why the hell should we expect these boys to think twice about doing it when its allowed or even commonplace at sporting events? They've already been shown its acceptable behavior.


Also, anything these boys did or said would be so mild compared to what was done to them, yet I feel like they're being cast in the same shadow as the BIs and the NA.

Seriously, this is like a little kid saying "you're a meanie" to someone who's bullying him and sticking his tongue out but then getting reprimanded.

That will be a lot of singles and salads.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Dude, he stood there racistly smiling in racist silence. That’s the worst offense out all of them that day.

He committed facecrime.

"The BarryP/Duffy team don't see it that way. "

JSA literally just responded to the kid's death threats with "poor baby."


When JSA needs to defend an indefensible position, he literally turns into Donald Trump.

"All the chanting they were doing and clearly mocking the NAs. "

So they knew the Native Americans were coming and said, "Hey, lets do some of those racist school chants that we all practiced ahead of time that target Native Americans?"

I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree. I have a specific question. If this was such an issue and this black player was so emotionally distraught from this event, then why hasn't there been an issue made? Don't you think something would have been said? High school coaches are FIRED left and right because students and parents think they are being unfair or the practices are too tough. But this is claiming a black player was so emotionally damaged and scared by a student body dressed in black, yet there was no mention of this until the DC video. Doesn't that seem odd, or at least make you scratch your head. I can get emotional about some positions, but I'm still willing to say wait a minute, maybe there is another possibility.

Which is more likely:

1) He was distraught over this and an entire school let students do something so egregious and racist that it would compromise their very existence. And the surrounding communities all collude to protect them, even though the video is on youtube for the world to see.

or

2) He doesn't give a rats ass, it wasn't given a second thought, and its a non-issue because no-one felt there was anything close to racism in this context.


The modern media LEAPS to conclusions regardless of context and facts every day, yet this video has been online for years and its not made the rounds.

By your account, an entire school committed a hate crime (mocking and intimidation of a race) and made it public, but it went silent.

This is down in Kentucky and in a largely conservative area. I'm willing to bet the adults and a lot of others down there didn't feel this was an issue because they don't necessarily get offended by everything. This is a complete assumption by the way. Just trying to answer your question as to why adults may not have stepped in.

The same way many people are saying the tomahawk chop is racist and shouldn't be allowed, but its still done at sporting events. So obviously a lot of people feel its not racist.

Did I say that?

Has this room gone all retarded or something? Am I in idiotland?

A more likely thing is that the black kid understand that making a big deal about this is unlikely to result in anything happening. You think a black kid going up against a bunch of rich white kids is a fight they are going to pick. Black people put up with this stuff all the time and most of the time it is easier to just live with it and move on, because fighting it is more likely to hurt you. You say that the coach would be afraid of the results, do you think a black kid is going to NOT be afraid? Really who there has more power here, yet you put it all on the teenager.

I am willing to bet there were adults there other than the coach. I mean, someone could have said something.

People get away with this stuff all the time, it is not shocking that it was not a big deal then. No surprising at all.

You're making a lot of assumptions and its coming off like an emotionally charged position, so after this response I'm going to bow out as we probably won't stop this circle.

You're leaning on assumptions that everyone in that school is a rich, entitled white kid who runs the community and stomps on minorities. Quick googling shows Covington's cost of living is 12% below the national average. Median household cost is $93,000. Tuition at the school is ~$9,000 whereas the national average for private HS tuition is $13,524. And median income is between $30-40k. Where does this fit in your entitled "bunch of rich white kids" narrative?

I find it hard to believe that YOU actually believe in the age of media, and ALLLLLL of the ridiculous things that go viral, especially hate crimes, racism, sexual assault etc, that this kid felt he had nowhere to turn, and nothing to do against an entire school of racists whites (arguably the easiest demographic to condemn nowadays, especially without evidence).

Most people would agree he has the entire upper hand in this situation. The evidence is on film, on their own site, and the media would have a field day. These are the types of videos and interviews media pays people to come forward with.

And yes, I actually do think a black player can get through a basketball game without feeling personally threatened just because fans are rowdy. He sure doesn't seem phased in that picture, and there are hundreds more like that on the internet where a fanbase tries to intimidate a player. Its just poise.

I agree people get away with things all the time. But those usually happen when theres no evidence of the claims. Theres literally an entire video montage taking through CCK's fan themes. This is EXACTLY when a black person, or any person for that matter, goes up against anyone else with damning evidence, regardless of their resources or color of their skin.


You're entire argument is assumptive and full of unproven stereotypes. I feel like you think CCK is like the movie the Skulls.
