If this HS cheerleading squad T-shirt is ‘racist’ then the term has no meaning anymore
The National Sentinel ^ | 8/19/18 | USA Features

Overused: These days, the term “racist” is used so often as a means of attacking anything having to do with an American traditional value that the term simply has no meaning anymore, and frankly that’s a shame because there are real racists out there.

Louis Farrakhan, neo-Nazis, some BLM members and white supremacists come to mind.

But when a T-shirt is called “racist” simply because it contains references to Americana — and the accuser believed and taken seriously just because they’re a minority, then “racist” has no meaning anymore.

The shirts in question read:

“In Dodge County, we stand for the flag, kneel for the cross, that’s Indian pride.”

I wish the term “spineless” would become as impactful as the word “racist”. Hopefully the capitulating administrators will find themselves looking for work soon.

First, it was a local diverse mom who complained:

"Blacks been beat by dem cops an' all dat, nome sayin'...?"

Then cowardly school board member Shirley Randall Ikedionwu, who is 55 and lives in Eastman, Georgia, sez:

"Bee bop da doo wop, Politically divisive, an sheet, ah, HELL NAW..! Plus dey dun gone an' run outta NUGGETS..!"

The term has meant nothing to me since at least Clinton’s administration.

You all must realize. IF YOU ARE WHITE, YOU ARE A RACIST. So stop trying to be anything other than a racist. Its not like your going to win here. When you let these people be the judge, you have lost.

In their minds, Traditional America IS Racism. Anything supportive of America’s past is Racism. Anything that supports America’s institutions must be destroyed. The Flag and the Cross are their enemies.

It’s not about race ...it’s about wielding power over people.

OOOOO! it says “Indian” and has an image of an “Indian”!!!!
It has an image of the flag, and the cross. Plus it talks about standing for the flag in obvious reference to the America-hating NFL’ers who won’t stand for the flag.
Enough in there to rile up a sleeping America-hater, who knows only one word: “racist.”

Why are HS students allowed to wear tshirts at all?

The image of the “Indian” is very similar to the insignia of the Lafayette Escadrille in World War I. American pilots volunteered to fight for France with French commanding officers. Some became famous like Eddie Rickenbacker and some lost their lives like Teddy Roosevelt’s son Quentin. A small group, their name is immortal.

Racist is loaded with meaning. It means every bit of what every other term of derision is used by liberals and communists. It means, “you are not one of us and you are anathema.,” nothing more and nothing less.

"Racist" means any time a member of a majority group (to you) shows pride in their accomplishments, their pride is an offense to your minority group, because you said so.
