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.

I wonder what Cory “I am Spartcus” Booker thinks about this.

They didn’t get their “bloody revolution” but they did manage to burn cities, kill people, destroy the judicial system, jail the Republican presidential candidate, jail hundreds of people from J6, steal literally trillions in US dollars for their causes, etc.

So, overall, it worked out pretty well for them.

My county changed the name of a local high school just because one guy bitched about it being named after a Confederate civil war figure.

On top of that, the guy complaining wasn’t even a natural born American....he was from India.

This jackass complaining about the mascot name might just get his way as stupid as it is.

Or just the opposite, that light-skinned blacks are not as black as dark-skinned blacks. My stepson ran into that in HS.

This fag dad is missing that the Spartans had personal traits as Men and warriors that are admirable and held in esteem.

Our school district on Long Island asked us if we had a problem with our Thunderbird mascot, as someone was threatening a law suit. The answer was a resounding NO! We’re stil the T-Birds. Brentwood, whom I think we play, should take a lesson.

As someone willing to admit that I went from Kindergarten through 12th grade graduation, 1961-1971, Population of the school district was and to my best knowledge still the same, today 2025, 1/3 Blacks, 1/3 whites, 1/3 Puerto Ricans, (during my time, it was the largest Puerto Rican population, other than Puerto Rico.)

For the record, yes I'm Puerto Rican. I left the zoo of Brentwood, circa 1976-7. The Image below is what got some people upset, the Image is what I grew up with on the front of my gym shirts, and sports coats.

This lawsuit is nothing more that a Liberal / Commie Black trying to show just how important he is. I just never could understand GHETTO Mentality, this is a show case of that.

The problem is white achievement. It always has been.

Seems the only thing you can name a team after now is animals. They should name the team the Polar Bears and watch everyone freak out.

“I’ve seen blacks like this before.....they see everything as racist against them.....everything.”

It’s true. I follow college football a lot. There was great debate (online) last year about whether Travis Hunter was worthy of being considered for and also winning the Heisman.

Many blacks who posted on this issue accused those who didn’t support Travis Hunter (and by extension) Deion Sanders as being racist. We were referred to as “WT”s” among other things.

it didn’t matter that many of us were supporting someone else for Heisman just as Austin Jeanty or Cam Ward. There were black too - but somehow it didn’t matter.

Regarding thru the many posts on this issue and it was plain to see that in spite of their claims otherwise, racism is very much alive and kicking in the black community.

Same thing happened a few years ago when Trevor Lawrence won the Heisman over Justin Fields.....black commentators on espn were openly insinuating Fields didn’t win because of racism.
-

Fields has gone on to pretty much be a bust but I don’t see any of those that were screaming racism admitting they were wrong.

And now they have Trump kicking them in the teeth, Musk investigating their corruption and money laundering, and no white slaves.

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

watch commercials with blacks in them...there is usually only one dark skinned black...the rest are lighter...

Well, some degree of classical education is necessary in order to understand the significance of ‘fight like a Spartan’.

And classical topics and themes is anathema to the hater classes. Rather than self-portraying as admirable competitors and opponents, we must be affiliated with animalistic totems or inanimate production devices.

Who is being debased here?

that degree of racist attribution is in fact... maximized personal RACISM to the core of their being.

the ones who scream “racist” define what they at their core... are in fact... blatant, blind and sometimes even black... RACISTS...
