re: #195 Mike Lamb

Lots of schools, from high school to college, run “black out” games, where the team, regardless of primary colors, wears all black and fans are encouraged to do the same. I’ve seen many where students/fans use black body paint and it’s all good natured. The difference with the MAGACath photo is the kid in the crowd who painted himself black with white lips. I struggle to see how that isn’t racist.

Aha! That’s right. And yeah the Cov-Catholic photo, the kid definitely looks to be in stereotypical blackface. There are some things that have been more innocent i.e. the interpretation of the three point signal as being a white supremacist sign but other things like this and what I’ve read about the culture of the school.
