William King Moss III, Islip Town NAACP President, former mathematics teacher in Brentwood Union Free School District and father of two Brentwood students, filed the complaint against the district on March 26.

Moss argued that the other options chosen, "Green Machine," "Bears," "Owls," "Bulldogs," and "Eagles," were not members of an "identifiable or generally perceived protected class," like the Spartans.

"Spartans are of the identifiable and generally perceived protected classes of White Non-Hispanic in race, White in color, Greek in National Origin, and Spartan or Greek in Ethnicity," the complaint states.

Call themselves the Fighting Jews and see what happens.


Tottenham Hotspurs fans call themselves the “Yid Army”.

Let’s not stop there. Using this lunatics warped logic we must change the name of many cities as well.
-

For example, where I live is named after a revolutionary war era figure that was POTUS.....problem is he also owned as many as 300 slaves in his lifetime.
-

Something must be done to right this wrong!

The school charges name to “TBD” and gets sued again…… This is the Leftist plan, sue, sue, sue. It’s time to fight fire with fire. Sue, file charges of disbarment, send articles about the players to the press. Basically “Spread disease about them all over town”.

I cant think of any typical school mascots that somebody wouldn’t find offensive. Any animals would offend some animal rights whackos. Of course all indigenous people related names are off the table. Even names like Storm or Tornadoes would offend someone. The whole idea of a winning team is offensive to the DEI crowd. Maybe just skip having competing athletic teams and give everyone in the school a trophy.

Let's start with Berkeley, Calif., named for George Berkeley, a slave owner.

I have experienced on many occasions that they can be racist against each other if you can wrap your head around that.
-

The belief being that lighter skinned blacks are somehow superior to the darker skinned.....it doesn’t get much more racist than that.


When I was in the Ivory Coast many years ago, as we went through some villages, my interpreter used to explain that those people used to be his ancestors slaves.

They were one generation away from the facial tribal scarring to identify their tribes

This is why you tell these activists to go pound sand when they start this crap, because once you cave, they will just keep coming...

Tell them eff off and they will pick someone else to go after.

How about the Whittier College Poets? May sound innocouos, but in 1969, I watched with dismay as the Poet Machine scored seven touchdowns in the first quarter against my Occidental College Tigers. They won 56-8.

To be fair, it was traditional and honorable of German military officers at one time to have a scar on their face from fencing dueling. If they didn’t have one, they would do their own.

If you adopt the name of an “oppressed” minority you are branded racist. If you use the name of anything that might vaguely indicate pride in your EUROPEAN ancestry, you are deemed racist. If you exist while White, you are marked racist. If you die while White, you are labeled racist.

There’s no escaping it.

“I thought I had one black friend who wasn’t, but when Obama became prez, he said, “Now we can have a bloody revolution and you white people will be our slaves!” He meant that. He and the other blacks at work started making the fist sign at each other and would say crap like, “Now it’s coming, brother!””

How’d that work out for them?
