Koko78 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) San Antonio Independent School District officials took the chant as a racial insult to a school with all minority players from a school with mostly white ones. So the way I'm reading this is that these jerkoffs seem to believe that minorities aren't Americans and took offense to the "USA" chant. Who are the racist ones again?

B-Large Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Its doesn't make alot of sense to chant USA if both of the team are from the US... racist, perhaps... bad taste, probably.... dumb, yep.... If they were chanting their school, town, district, city.... that might make a little more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 We have an out of control debt, wars on multiple fronts all over the world, serious constitutional issues coming up, entitlement and tax system in need of massive and immediate reform... ....and this horseschit is a national story? A story, about highschool kids doing highschool things. Yeah, this is important. Jesus, when I was in highschool we had 3 all out brawls after basketball games, causing a bunch of injuries and two kids charged with illegal weapon possession. ...but chanting is a national story? WTF? Perhaps we are lucky the MSM wasn't so out of control then. Or maybe not. I think our antics at those games were certainly worthy of a national attention, as they were a lot more creative than a USA chant, and significantly more funny. Although, chanting USA against one rival in particular....yeah, that would have been funny as hell--> because in soccer, 8 of their players were f'ing foreign exchange students.

Who are the racist ones again? Koko, I know you're smarter than this. It's more along the lines of you have the fans of an all white school chanting USA in front of a school with almost all minority students. It's like they were saying that the students from the minority school are all illegals. It's a good thing the peruvians were there to stop the chant. You Suck A$$ - apparently you people know no one of high school age. Not quite sure I get this... http://www.ksat.com/news/defenders/Racial-incident-mars-high-school-game/-/478436/9225754/-/145ddl2/-/index.html Chanting USA isn't racist. Chanting it in front of other Americans that happen to be of a certain ethnic decent by implying that they are not Americans, or cannot be Americans due to their race clearly is. Context makes all the difference here. Edited March 9, 2012 by Bigfatbillsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCinBuffalo Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Not quite sure I get this... But, don't fret. I'm sure DC_Tom is compiling a list of things you don't get. And, if he isn't, rest assured, I am. All will be explained to you in the most humorous, for us, way possible. Like in this instance: You don't get that U and You can be interchanged? Have you never sent a text message? Do you have a granny phone? Like was said elsewhere: dense. I will spell, phonetically, it out for you. What if we replace You with U? Then if we say U Suck A$....we get USA. Get it now? Good. Here have a cookie. So far, we have: 1. Doesn't get groupthink 2. Doesn't get Occam's razor 3. Doesn't get the difference between objectivity and subjectivity 4. Doesn't get how to properly recognize bias 5. Doesn't get phonetic spelling we also have 4. Doesn't get basic economics 5. Doesn't get the difference between fiscal and monetary policy 6. Doesn't get the history of American foreign policy for the last 80 years That's the list I have so far. Anyone else care to add/revise? Edited March 9, 2012 by OCinBuffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please post some more about about things I don't get so that I can laugh my ass off. Especially about groupthink, which happens to be in my area of expertise as I am currently writing my masters thesis on it. After you have properly educated me on groupthink you're going to need to call the APA and let them know that they have not properly defined groupthink and bias. Let them know they can rest easy because you have the correct applications of these terms. God it sucks that I spent the past three years studying this and it was all for naught. I could have just come on here and asked you. man... Tell us again how Occam's razor includes 8 step explanations of your own personal conspiracy theories rather than finding the simplest explanation of a measurable event.

Tit for tat makes them the bigger rat! Anyway... If what you said is the case... If this was a hockey game, the second school (Alamo Heights) would get the extra two for retaliating.
