Father Sues School Over Spartans Mascot: Symbol of 'White Supremacy'

A New York father and NAACP leader is demanding his school district ditch its new "Spartans" mascot, alleging the warriors from ancient Greece symbolize enslavement and white supremacy.

William King Moss III, a father of two second-graders in the Brentwood Union Free School District on Long Island, filed a lawsuit last month claiming the Spartans moniker represents a symbol of "white supremacy" that violates state civil rights and constitutional protections.

"I look at a white soldier that has conquered people and enslaved them as white supremacy," Moss told Newsweek early Tuesday. "That's how I look at it. I think that's very clear to me when I logically look at it. My emotions are not in this at all, I assure you."

All things White are a form of 'White supremacy' to blacks. And what they really want is the eradication of all things White, period.

Oh FFS!

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’m gonna sue Cory Booker for being Spartacus, a symbol of White Supremacy like the new Snow White.

[ComputerGuy]

They want the White Man’s money and the White Man’s technology, though.

So we get rid of an Indian themed nickname, but the replacement nickname is objected to...OK then....

I heard someone say just about all nicknames are offensive.

For example:

Green Bay Packers is offensive to real meat packers
Pittsburgh Steelers is offensive to real steel workers
San Diego Padres is offensive to the Catholic Church
Boston Celtics is offensive to real Celtic people.

Are the animal nicknames ok, or does an organization such as PETA object to us trivilaizing the animal kingdom?

This Moss is a little moldy. A sick SOB also. Trying to hit America’s Sicko Lawsuit Lottery Power Balls.

Trojans would be okay with him, I’m betting. Because old Troy was on the Anatolian peninsula. heh

[sauropod]

Sure thing Moss. Your emotions are not in this. /massive race-pimping eyeroll.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Cory Booker is a symbol of “White Supremacy!” String him up!!!

[A strike]

I’m sure this Ahole will also sue to remove all traces of White soldiers fighting for his dumbSchiff a$$ in the Civil War.

Michigan State Zulus.

Black Supremacy.

Taught the Brits a thing or two.

OK, Mr. Person of Color, let’s call them the Selassies, that should be Haile acceptable.

The school cheer could be, “ADDIS ABABA! SELASSIES IN THE HABA!” (that’s harbor for the rest of you)

When the team was walking off the field, they could wave at the competing school and say, “Abyssinia!”

And when yet another spoiled brat parent gets triggered, he wouldn’t have to sue the school, he could just Sudan.

[Dalberg-Acton]

The school should name its mascot the “Colored People” and watch the NAACP twist its self into a pretzel.

[MortMan]

They should change their team names to “F%^#heads” and use the father’s effigy as a mascot.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I was thinking now would be a good time to make all American money white. White supremacist money. Just in time for Reparations for Loafers.

I heard someone say just about all nicknames are offensive.
For example:
Green Bay Packers is offensive to real meat packers Pittsburgh Steelers is offensive to real steel workers San Diego Padres is offensive to the Catholic Church Boston Celtics is offensive to real Celtic people.

Somehow, the Minnesota Vikings should be offensive to Scandanavians. Yet, they don't object.
The Notre Dame University callings its sports teams the "fighting Irish" should be offensive to Irish-Americans. Yet, they love the name.
Irish-Americans also don't get offended at the term police "paddy" wagon. That originates from when such vehicles were used to incarcerate Irish-Americans, where the lowest social strata in the U.S., en masse. The Irish just laugh this off. Other ethnic groups have no sense of humor about anything because they've learned they can be disruptive by claiming offense at nothing. Enough is enough already.

That tie he’s wearing in the picture is racist. There’s only white kids on it, and I get vibes from it that he’s a pedophile.

[libertylover]

Sadly, these people look for ways to be “offended”.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

All real descendants of Sparta, and especially descendents of the 300, should form a class action suit, counter suit, and MAJOR reparations for saving Western Civilization.

Spartan Lives Matter!
