The other school was named Perry High.
“My mostly Black, inner-city school played this team last night & were confronted w/ this,” Perry librarian Sheila May-Stein posted to Twitter on Saturday along with an image of the banner. “Sickening racism.”
“The use of the current President’s name is an intentional signal to opponents that they are in ‘Trump’ territory – and that has real meaning, especially for our Black children in this moment,” Pittsburgh parent Jessie Ramey wrote in an open letter to Brooke County Superintendent Toni Paesano Shute.
“… I am appalled that the adults in your school district not only approved of this sign, but are actively celebrating it, making it the featured photograph on the official school team Twitter page,” Ramey wrote. “This is what racism in America looks like today.”
The Booke team’s Twitter account, however, provided a much different rational for the banner that has nothing to do with racism.
The account, which featured the banner until late Monday morning, contends “every home game a different theme and this one was red white & blue so we used the saying ‘trump’ for double meaning.
“Being one our president and two using the world (sic) ‘trump’ which also means ‘beat,’” according to the Twitter page. “Also this was our first time ever playing them.”
Brooke High School did “trump” Perry, 34-20, according to the Post-Gazette, but now Pittsburgh Public Schools Superintendent Anthony Hamlet is calling for a meeting with Shute to discuss the allegedly racist banner, though it’s unclear if or when that might happen.
When will someone say, ‘I’m not responsible for how you feel. I cannot not, nor do I want to, control you or be responsible for you.”.
Find someone who cares.
Just let the little bitches take a knee before Trumps name and it’s all good.
“This is what racism in America looks like today”. God help us.
I am beyond caring about your perpetual offense. Go home and wrap yourself in bubble wrap.
Of course they’re angry – Perry got schlonged.
“BEAT THE MOSTLY BLACK INNER-CITY SCHOOL”….Now that is a poster!….
Gee, another librarian scold. Are librarians part of the AFSCME union?

HOLY SHIT, IT’S THE KLAN!
WHEN YOU MAKE EVERYTHING ABOUT RACE, DOESN’T THAT MAKE YOU THE RACIST??? WHEN YOU CONTINUALLY TREAT NON-WHITES AS INFERIOR AND NEEDING DEFENDING???
Just laugh at them. It makes them CRAZY!
This is a sad commentary on the understanding of the English language.

when everything is racist, nothing is racist
…. idiots
But hold on – wasn’t Commodore Perry the guy who intimidated the poor Japanese into opening up their country to the West in 1853? With a racist name like Perry, that makes the other school just as guilty of triggering Asian-Americans as Brooke High was to Blacks.
The only solution is to immediately close both schools, tear them down, and sow the ground where they resided with sodium bicarbonate so that racism can never flourish there again.
Non-GMO, gluten-free, Vegan-approved sodium bicarbonate, that is.
You wouldn’t want use sodium chloride, because that would be considered a salt.

“When will someone say, ‘I’m not responsible for how you feel. I cannot not, nor do I want to, control you or be responsible for you.”.

They already have an answer down pat for that.
They’ll say that’s white privilege talking there.
There really is no reasoning with them. Only the total extermination of whites will do.
I sure hope their meetings don’t have any gas leaks. Hate to get blamed for the real racists to get taken out in numbers.
I thought it was clever , the worlds most unlikely Ticket !
Learn to Breathe Deep and Laugh Lib’s , life is happening !!!
From the deranged mind of a Hyphen. No surprise at all.
I just thought of something that should have occurred to me a couple of days ago when Hef died. Most people remember Mad magazine, but won’t know about this one: Back in 1957, there was a short-lived (2 issues) humor mag called Trump. Guess who the publisher was?
That’s right – Hugh Hefner.

(Now I gotta try to find my copies. They’re around here somewhere…)
Supporting President Trump isn’t racist. That’s so stupid it’s not even funny. Idiots.
The answer for the man who complained:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your letter. Enclosed please find a quarter.
Please feel free to call anyone who cares about your feelings. I don’t.
Thank you,
Extremely niggardly of this school to not pay for professional printing of their banner.
I cannot ‘not’ post this-
Circa 27 years ago or so…
Suicidal Tendencies – You Can’t Bring Me Down
First off-let’s take it from the start
Straight out-can’t change what’s in my heart
No one-can tear my beliefs apart, you can’t bring me
You ain’t-never seen no one like me
Prevail-regardless what the cost might be
Power-flows inside of me, you can’t bring me
Never-fall as long as I try
Refuse-to be a part of your lie
Even-if it means I die, you can’t bring me
You…can’t…bring…me…down!
Who the hell you calling crazy? You wouldn’t know what crazy was
If Charles Manson was eating fruit loops on your front porch….
Time out-let’s get something clear
I speak-more truth than you want to hear
Scapegoat-to cover up your fear, you can’t bring me
You ain’t-never seen so much might
Fight for-what I know is right
What up-you got yourself a fight, you can’t bring me
Stand up-we’ll all sing along
Together-ain’t nothin’ as strong
Won’t quit-we ain’t in the wrong, you can’t bring me
You…can’t…bring…me…down!
…
…
Just cause you don’t understand what’s going on don’t mean it don’t make no sense
And just cause you don’t like it, don’t mean it ain’t no good
And let me tell you something;
Before you go taking a walk in my world
You better take a look at the real world
Cause this ain’t no Mister Roger’s Neighborhood
Can you say “feel like shit”?
Yea maybe sometimes I do feel like shit
I ain’t happy ’bout it, but I’d rather feel like shit than be full of shit!
And if I offended you, oh I’m sorry…
But maybe you need to be offended
But here’s my apology and one more thing…fuck you!
Cos you…can’t…bring…me…down!
They’re just mad because the other school can actually spell well enough to make a banner.
If you don’t GET IN THE FACE of every school official that tries to remove prayer, kick out the Boy Scouts, and acts like a radical leftist, you are losing the battle and the war.
When will some enterprising journalist ask a black person what exactly has Trump done to them except get them better paying jobs by scaring off some of the illegals that stole all their jobs and lowered the wages of those blacks that still had one. When!!!!!
I’m a hater of hyphenated Americans. Does that make me a racist?
@reboot: Just because you lost your hyphen at an early age doesn’t mean that you should be jealous of those who still have theirs.
Oh, wait —
