Hilarious genocide joke enlivens football game
This one made my eyes open wide in shock. A high school football game in Ohio between the Greenfield-McClain Tigers and the Hillsboro “Indians” (can we please retire all those names now?) – the cheerleaders for the not-“Indian” team made a banner saying
Hey Indians Get Ready for A Trail of TEARS Part 2
That’s as if the Greenfield-McClain Tigers were playing the Hillsboro “Jews” and the Tigers cheerleaders made a banner saying Hey Jews, get ready for a holocaust part 2. The Trail of Tears is what happened when Jackson kicked all the Native Americans out of desirable fertile land in the southeast and forced them to walk west until they got to a place nobody wanted. Many of them died. It’s a horror-name, like Tuskegee or Auschwitz or the Edmund Pettus Bridge. It’s not a joke for football fans to bandy about.
Notice (as I just belatedly did) the eye in the corner, with the tear coming out.
There was an episode of “King of the Hill” where Peggy becomes the middle school cheerleading coach and ends up creating a super-offensive routine when their team plays a rival called “The Fighting Irish.” It was funny on a cartoon show where it was so obviously cringe-inducing to anyone watching it.
It’s astounding that someone has actually done it in person.
Or, for whites who can’t fucking empathize outside their group, IT’S THE BATAAN DEATH MARCH.
How many of such Americans have heard of the Bataan Death March?
And their parents vote.
God fucking DAMNIT. How is this even possible in this day and age?! Those kids were making that sign somewhere, and adults saw them doing it. This is shameful beyond belief.
