Problems at Covington High

Recommended Posts

Obviously there has been a lot of controversy and blame thrown around about the MAGA boys controversy. The media has taken the lion's share of the heat although it has presented a window to deeper problems.

Be all that as it may, there are problems at that high school. I saw this photo taken at a Covington H.S. basketball game the other day. I waited until it had been fact-checked before I posted. There are videos in the fact check.

I believe this photo is from 2012. 

When I first saw this photo my initial reaction was it’s just a blackout game and they painted their body’s black for it (they did the same thing for a whiteout game in 2015).  But...then I noticed the white around the eyes and lips of the kid on the right side of the picture and it clearly is “black face”.

This shouldn’t be an issue. It’s a black out for a basketball game. 

I disagree.  Yes it’s a blackout game and if the kid didn’t have white paint around his eyes and lips this would be a non-issue. But he does and then it becomes “blackface”

The kid should have thought it out better… But I highly doubt he put paint on and said hey, “ I’m gonna look like a negro tonight!”  It looks like the white paint was put on so that people can see his eyes and mouth clearly as an intimidation tactic. For example Vemon who has large white eyes and large grin revealing white teeth. I’m just getting tired of how everyone is automatically assuming the worst. Pretty soon the media will be looking for this kid demanding an explanation or he will come forward and have to explain himself  during a spirit game.

I wasn't implying the photo was from a few days ago, although it as on their website until a few days ago.

I get what you’re saying and that is a reasonable explanation. But the optics of it look terrible.  It still looks like blackface.  And I doubt we find out who this kid is.  Probably better for him if we don’t.

Got it. I misread your statement.  My bad.

I think the kid that stared down the Indian should get the Kavanaugh treatment. They need to dig into his past and find out every detail of his life. I know I know he isn’t running for the SCOTUS, but the media will go to extraordinary lengths to prove their narrative.

It would make more sense if black was one of their school colors instead of Blue and White.

They were having a blackout game which means the fans and the team is dressed in all black.

As long as we're onto HS Gossip and happenings and all.

WTF.....look at the blk-face complete w/the white-paint accents.  You got to be kidding.

I can't find the link, but I saw an interview of Clark Co's #23 yesterday.  He was taunted at that came with the chant "CARAMEL!!!"  He said "I knew it was for me.  I was the only black player on the court.:" <paraphrased>
