Here, friend (I won't resort to name calling). This is the definition of blackface: "Blackface is a form of theatrical make-up used predominantly by non-black performers to represent a caricature of a black person." This is NOT what these kids were doing. Keep spreading the lies. |
DP. And do you say the same about the Women's March participants, who had their kids out there with graphic signs? (I remember an especially disgusting one with a toddler girl holding a sign that said "keep your law out of my c*nt.) How DARE liberal parents exploit their children that way! |
This is such bull$hit. Mr. Phillips could have walked away at any point. He stood there defiantly drumming and singing in the faces of these kids. He had no intention of leaving. Nobody blocked his exit. He made the choice to stay. You would think a 63 year old man would know better. He wanted a confrontation. And, then he went on CNN and MSNBC and lied about the incident. |
Yes, that is exactly what they were doing. They were putting on black face to mock black basketball players. Why are you such an apologist for gross display of unsportsmanlike conduct. Often they are on the basketball floor yelling in the face of players on the other team. You think that is a proper way for boys to act at a sporting event? What do you think of the video posted of the boys harassing the girl walking by? |
I thought Catholic schools were supposed to instill different values in their students than other school, that their students were different and above the norm? Otherwise why spend the money t send them? |

Here are the same boys harassing a woman.
What do you think of this? https://mobile.twitter.com/roflinds/status/1087486166939680768 |
How do you know these are the "same boys?" Because some random person claims they are? |
Everybody in the Catholic school community know sending your son to an all boys school like Covington... (aka Gonzaga/Prep) you are going to have to deal with this toxic type of behavior. Many of us will not send our kids to all boys schools for this exact reason. |
You can see their Covington hats and shirts. Do you think it is okay for them to act like that? Should they be disciplined for that? |
Oh, dear Lord. Read the comments from former students. And note additional pictures. Student who attended the school at the time: https://twitter.com/ryantoler_/status/1087517789684936704 Another student who attended school at the time: https://twitter.com/andrewcch12/status/1087532530130190336 |
dp. When I read about the blackface, I too, was taken aback. Then, the picture showed the entire student body wearing black and one kid with black makeup and what looked like a comic-book character inspired white painted on smile. The theme of the game was blackout. smh. I'm sure they aren't angels since only well behaved, empathetic teenagers live inside the Beltway and those who aren't perfect have been victims of adults flawed implementation of the Olewus Bullying Program. The adults only falter due to systemic societal breakdown caused by [fill in the PR Clients enemy here]. Yeah, yeah, yeah Got it. - Purple Monkey Dishwasher |
Seems to me they need to learn that they will deal with a toxic hatred of the students by other people. At least, that is the impression I am getting on this site. |
Anyone with a modicum of sense knows it is not a good idea for white boys at an predominantly white school to paint their faces black to menace an opposing team that has black players, no matter what the intent. If you don’t know that this is a bad idea you need to read more widely especially about American racial history. Also why did the kids leave patches of white around their eyes and lips? |
He clearly has very little experience with such elitist pigs. He was not prepared for a younger male to stand in defiance of an elder since that is not how they raise their children. Most of the boys stepped back. |
Yes. They will be met with hatred sometimes when they cat call an innocent woman walking down the street or when they hold a girld down on a bed and assaulting her or when they black face. How do you think those actions should be met? |
