A Missouri school district’s superintendent has apologized to the community after students turned their backs on a rival school’s basketball team in what some are calling a racially motivated display.
According to KSHB-TV, during a basketball game between Warrensburg High School and Center High School, Warrensburg students turned their backs on Center’s team as the school’s starting roster was announced. One of the students held up a campaign sign for President-elect Donald Trump.
The Kansas City Star described Center’s basketball team as “predominantly black.”
“Where it went over the line is when they held up the [Trump] sign,” Warrensburg R6 School District Superintendent Dr. Scott Patrick told KSHB. “There’s no reason for that to occur at a basketball game so they just took it too far and it was insensitive and not appropriate.”

Yep. Until I see a video of it, I don't believe it. Even if there IS a video, it's still suspect. They could doctor any video, and claim anything they want to.
It’s definitely not racism if you turn your back on a group of black teenagers, it’s foolhardy.
all players on both teams were black... the kids turned their backs on the opposing team as they called them out to the court.. one kid held up a Trump sign, signalling that the other school probably wanted Hillary to win and were therefore losers... Racial? not really...
I miss the good ole days when you could sneak into another school, steal their mascot, and hang it with rope from a tree.
If the black players had turned their backs on the white team, they would have been saluted as heroes.
In the Left’s world, there is their position and racism. Nothing else.
