For those attempting to defend the Covington Catholic High School boys:

Just stop already. We saw the video. We saw the photos of Covington boys in blackface at a high school game mocking a black player from the opposing team. We saw the videos of the same game with the same thing happening.

Whataboutism isn't going to work. Racism, blackface makeup, and the attitudes displayed by those boys speak for themselves.

One DUer tried to say it wasn't "Tradtional" blackface makeup. It was. One kid had big white lips and white eye makeup. Another person said, everyone does this, and posted a picture of a couple of University of Georgia fans in blackface, like that makes it OK, because, well, Georgia is well-known for its lack of racists.

It won't work. None of it will work. What we saw was a display of privileged young boys from Kentucky displaying their racist upbringing, something that was not discouraged by the White Catholic Boys High School they attend.

There's no defense possible. It is what it is. Trying to defend the indefensible just makes the defenders look back.

Just stop it, please. Your defense is exposing things you probably don't want to expose. Really. See below. Look at the kid on the right. Not blackface? GMAFB!
