This is genius from the context that they actually have a built-in excuse and you can’t really tell if the intent is racist.
With that said, are these parents guilty of being racist, or simply going too hard in regards to a huge football rivalry?
The parents of students at Lincoln High School in Indiana are catching heat for hanging a replica dummy of a black player from an opposing school according to a report on Fox59.
“Only after the picture was sent out did the Lincoln supporters learn that the number on the Tri-High uniform was that of an African-American student. It clearly was not the thought or intent of the Lincoln supporters or football players that this incident was anything more than a school rivalry. This incident was not racially motivated.”
Some parents deemed it racist.
ome fans didn’t see the display as rivalry but as racist.
“Parents? That’s even more shocking. If in fact that’s the case then the parents shouldn’t be allowed to come over here all year, period,” says Dave Southerland
“I think it’s harmless myself I think it’s blown a little out of proportion by some people. I know several of the boys on the team and I know it wasn’t meant the way it’s being taken,” explains Frances Moore, a Lincoln fan.
