A group of Alabama cheerleaders have come under fire for posing with a T-shirt bearing the image of the Confederate flag that said 'I love Redneck Boys'.

The white members of the squad were slammed by Reagan Coleman, a black cheerleader on the team who has since quit.

The controversial photo shows six white girls, four of whom are Daphne High School cheerleaders.

Good one

But no problem naming the team after a popular line of condoms.

This is a “news” article? Newsflash! Different people have different opinions about the Confederate battle flag.

Thanks Daily Mail. Never would have known.

I’m waiting to hear what Reagan’s Father has to say about this.

But, the stereotype of cheerleaders being idiots is certainly played out in this picture. I wonder if they are walking around surprised at the “reaction?”
Cute, for sure. They are not doing anything illegal. But dumb as rocks.

I live on the edge of the South. Redneck t-shirts expressing redneck pride are pretty common and pretty popular especially with the girls. They often feature a Confederate flag. I imagine the girls are in fact quite surprised at the reaction. They posted a picture. As far as I read the story, they didn’t flaunt the picture or the shirt in front of their black classmate, merely posted it on social media. And for that they should be punished?

Reagan’s mother Latitah Coleman said: ‘There’s no two sides to that flag. That means hatred,

The kid is as uninformed as the mother. That is not the Confederate Flag. They're all angry over a tee shirt with an image of a heart with part of the Battle Flag of Northern Virginia.

The girl would be better off studying history rather than getting into a snit over something she imagines.

Actually it was a little heart on a t shirt that 5 girls were holding ( not wearing ). The heart had the confederate flag design in it.

I expected to see 5 girls wearing this huge confederate flag tshirt.

Mom had to mess with her daughters head and tell her daughter that her friends hated her. When they did not.

Why do you not believe her? Why do you think you know the mind of others better than they do. Food for thought.

Funny, isn’t it, how mom and her bigot child will be voting for a demented pedophile WHITE MAN.

If you're a Democrat, you can do whatever you want. Get with the program.

Why is the racist black girl given front and center? Quit discriminating against whites, you oaf! What a snowflake, race-baiting nitwit.

[hal ogen]

Her divisive, race-baiting mother needs to read some history. Maybe she dropped out of school before having a history class...or a class in logic & reasoning.

Awww...they lost their mascot?

besides being prophylactics, weren’t Trojans slave owners?

Cute girls - all of them. Too bad one is trying to make life difficult for the rest of them (but that always seems to be the case with lefties).

[BuffaloJack]

The black girl is a closed minded, racist closet commie.
This is America and displaying stuff is free speech.

I could not care less. We all have our problems.

How long before they are blackballed for all colleges and then arrested for a “hate crime?”
