This is how fake news is made. No context. I’ll give a little context since I am familiar. The sports league CovCath plays in is very competitive. School spirit is very strong at most schools in the league and they have large cheering sections for sporting events. Especially for big games. Sometimes there are whiteouts, blackouts, or whatever color they want to make for that particular game. This is for high school spirit. Sports are big in the Midwest. Some kids paint their bodies. There are pictures of them in all blue too, some painted blue. That is a photo taken completely out of context and made to try to fit a narrative. Frankly, JRP3 what can you tell me about this school and community from a personal standpoint? Have you been there? Do you know people there? Why did you not know about this school spirit tradition? Keep in mind these kids were in DC for a field trip and to be a part of the March For Life. People that think they are smarter and on a moral higher ground than everybody else think they have a right to destroy anybody, even children. Disgusting.Hmm, southern school kids wearing black paint while taunting black players
FACT CHECK: Is This Picture from a Covington Catholic High School Basketball Game?
You know it is a mixed race school. Kids of all backgrounds participate. Also, you keep saying a school in the South. You are trying too hard to turn this into something it is not. Covington is across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. That is not the South. You do not know the context of this story and it shows. You are the equivalent of a reporter pushing a false narrative about Tesla. Also, these are kids whose lives are now turned upside down because of these false narratives. Do you have a heart? Please do not post these false articles/narratives about kids that you do not know.
Have you ever been to the Cincinnati tri-state area? Have you ever heard of Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad? Have you seen the Underground Railroad Freedom Center? The Underground Railroad ran to Cincinnati (right across the river from Covington). There is a rich history of the Cincinnati tri-state area helping slaves escape and the Freedom Center is there as a symbol of it. Honestly though, have you been to this area? What personal experience do you have with these people to corroborate your theory? You are ironically making superficial judgements on people you do not know and accusing them of doing exactly what you are doing.
When I was in high school I was not aware of it. I was thinking about girls and passing tests. And not about the social implications of a kid painting his face black at a basketball game. Again, it is not the South. This is a made up narrative. It does not exist like you would like it to be. Was Jimmy Kimmel aware of it?

I grew up In the Midwest in the 70's I knew then that black face was something that had a negative connotation. I am not one to get upset about Halloween costumes or even the random joke that is told in poor taste. But to not be aware of the effect one has on others is something I find strange in our society. If kids in high school don't know the history of race and how wearing "blackface" is perceived then the adult's certainly should.When I was in high school I was not aware of it.

this is not quite the place to discuss, but basically
This is indeed what we came here for. The problem we all seem to be having is how to distinguish hiw we should limit ourselves.
This is fake news. If you spent some time in this community you would know it. Cincinnati is half minority. Where is their outcry? People in this community are outraged at the coverage and false reporting. That article speaks to a person that makes a lot of assumptions and is not intimately familiar with the people and situation. The press is going to print anything that fits the narrative they want to push. There is more info coming out. There was a separate group of kids not from CovCath. They said some inappropriate things, including “it’s not rape if you like it”. This was not the CovCath kids that said this. Nathan Phillips is not a Vietnam Vet. He is dishonest about his service. He was a refrigerator tech in the marines. He was never deployed and was kicked out twice. He also illegally broke into a church hours after the incident with CovCath.
