White Football coach fired for "racism" for letting players celebrate win with a watermelon!!

[bigrebnc1775]

"
A winning high-school football coach was fired after the team’s tradition of eating watermelon after games was deemed “inappropriate” and “racist.”

Bud Walpole had been coaching Academic Magnet Raptors football team, and was in the middle of a very successful season, according to CBS Charlotte.

A current Raptors player said the tradition began when players bought watermelons from a man who had been selling them on their route to the game. If they won the game, the team decided, they would eat the watermelon. After they did win, they smashed the watermelon on the ground and then ate it. (The team had to smash their victory fruit because they, understandably, did not have a knife on the sidelines.)"

"The ritual continued at subsequent victories — until one parent from an opposing school allegedly complained."

Now eating a watermelon is racist.

You are an idiot.

When did you decide that an employer did not have the right to employ or not employ anyone they choose?

Hiring a liar I mean a lawyer for wrongful termination is getting the government involved?

Gee, last time I looked, who you fire and hire is your own business, according to conservatives like you.

That coach is really dumb. He should not have allowed the black players on the team to have even one bite of watermelon.

Stupid crap like this is why I'm not a liberal. They made an issue where there was none. Did they detain students after their last win, or was this pandering to one slow individual? Did they condone racism the other times it happened or just until some one said blacks like watermelon, therefore this must be a racist activity? And by not stopping it until now, does that not make them culpable in this racist issue? Why didn't the very ones that fired the coach get fired as well. The enablers, after all of those wins...

.

A good example of how the PC Police have intimidated an entire country.

Employers are terrified of how something may "look", so they think they'd better do stuff like this to keep the PC Police away.

Taking a cool, fun, innocent little team tradition and shitting on it.

America, 2014.

The manager of the EZ Lube next door to my office was fired for the same reason. It was a screaming hot day. A Mexican peddler came around selling ice cold watermelon. The manager bought one for the guys. One of the guys was black. To make matters worse, the manager told the black guy to take a break and get some cold watermelon.

He was fired instantly over such racism. Sadly the manager was from Mexico himself and had no idea that watermelon was racist.

No doubt you're lying.

Offense at symbolism and imagined slights and concocted definitions is very common in the black community. And then there's this:

One Broward County drug counselor has been fired and another suspended for an incident in which an "N-word" was used. Not necessarily "the N-word," but a word that might have been mistaken for it.

The two sanctioned workers told investigators the word was "niggardly." That word, meaning miserly, is of Scandinavian origin and has nothing to do with race, says an attorney for one of the disciplined workers.

But the county sided with a substance-abuse client who took offense. He filed a complaint saying a counselor called him "n----- dumb" in a June meeting with two workers at a county rehab center.

In an investigative report, the county's professional standards office said it couldn't conclude "which derogatory racial term was said," but found the workers, who are both white, engaged in "unprofessional, unethical and discriminatory" behavior.

On Aug. 15, the county fired counseling supervisor Eron Tworetzky, a 13-year employee at the Broward Addiction Recovery Center (BARC), for uttering the offensive comments. His co-worker, Gail Suskind-Assidon, was suspended a week without pay for failing to immediately report the incident to her superiors.

The workers are appealing, and the matter might be headed to arbitration.
​

And this:

Mayor Anthony Williams accepted the resignation of a top aide, David Howard, after Mr. Howard, who is white, used the word ''niggardly'' in a meeting, offending a black staffer.
​

And this:

A fourth-grade teacher at Williams Elementary School has received a formal reprimand for teaching her students the word "niggardly," the teacher's son said Tuesday.
​

And of course there was this classic:

Amelia Rideau, a junior English major and vice chairwoman of the Black Student Union, told the Faculty Senate at its February meeting how a professor teaching Chaucer had used the word niggardly (she was unaware of the related controversy, the week before, in Washington, D.C.), and how he continued to use it even after she told him that she was offended. He was trying to explain its meaning--Chaucer used the term--but classmates, she complained, knew what it resembled. "I was in tears, shaking," she told the faculty. "It's not up to the rest of the class to decide whether my feelings are valid."​

It is up to her to capriciously assign definitions to words she doesn't like.

Ignorance reigns supreme.

Yet another lie from the right.

The issue had nothing to do with merely 'eating watermelon.'

'"Players would gather in a circle and smash the watermelon while others were either standing in a group or locking arms and making chanting sounds described as, 'Ooh, ooh, ooh,'" school district Superintendent Nancy McGinley said, describing the noises as "monkey sounds." The watermelon was decorated with caricatures drawn with Sharpie markers, she added.'

Eating a watermelon is racist? I've been a racist for decades now.

 

[MaryL]

For being a open minded and liberal country , we are being way to sensitive and intolerant. I will never ever vote again for a democrat, and, if you stand for this country, you will do the same. Liberals have abandoned their own traditions in favor of power. And Power Corrupts. And so it goes, as Vonnegut says.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Have there ever been any black players that participated in the watermelon tradition, and if so were they being racist against themselves?

When did you decide that an employer did not have the right to employ or not employ anyone they choose?

z

When that employer is a public school, which is paid for with tax money - that means all the parents and all the students are the school's employers.

You really are one stupid fucking moron.
