Texas high school apologizes after USA chant is deemed racist
WFLA ^ | 3/7/12 | 970 WFLA

Posted on 03/07/2012 7:16:09 AM PST by raccoonradio

A local school district is apologizing after an apparent incident of racism at a boys high school basketball game this past weekend.

When the final whistle blew Saturday, Alamo Heights celebrated a convincing victory over San Antonio Edison.

Alamo Heights Head Coach Andrew Brewer said he was proud of his team.

“Tremendously proud,” Brewer said. “Tremendously. It’s the best group of kids.”

But it was just after the trophy presentation when the coach was not proud of the chant coming from Alamo Heights fans.

“USA, USA, USA,” they chanted.

San Antonio Independent School District officials took the chant as a racial insult to a school with all minority players from a school with mostly white ones.

On the KSAT 12 Defenders Facebook page, Santos Villarreal’s post reads “this has to stop.”

Is there any other country on Earth that hates itself as much as ours?

Wait one danged minute here... If they are barred from the states’ title games, then what is gained by apologizing anyway? I mean other than kowtowing to someone else’s principles over your own (a net negative to begin with).

Up is down, bad is good...

This is double-plus ungood.

Chanting USA is racist. As are voter ID laws (ID laws for booze are fine though. Alcohol like guns kill.) What is wrong with you folks? It implies that legal Americans are better than undocumented immigrants in this country (I wont even say the name ‘USA’, OOPS)

Why are these kids chanting in English anyway? They don't know Spanish?

Did they play the National anthem before the game? If so, how is that any different from the “USA” cheer after the game?

You are assuming facts not in evidence.

When they put something like this on our kids, it is the beginning of the destruction of our country. Hopefully, the kids and their parents will stand up against this.

This is a First Amendment issue. They have the support of hundreds of thousands of Americans nationwide. A class action suit is on the horizon for the students victimized by the Mexican Mafia, and the managers of the school system for whom "expediency" is the way to enforce heavy-handed Political Correctnes.

They will have my financial monthly support for however long it takes.

Since the losing school wasn't from a foreign country ordinarily I'd say the USA chant was in poor taste.

One man's opinion.

Is it now acceptable to be a proud American only in the presence of foreign nationals?

How stupid is that?

If the tables has been turned, do you think there would have been the same punishment? Or any repercussions whatsoever?

HECK no!!

What does San Antonio Edison have against the USA?
Do they not consider themselves American?

I didn't assume a thing, I asked a question.

If the kids wear an American flag emblem on their clothes or wave a flag at the game, is that also a racist based hate infraction? Is an apology in order?

Maybe Obama should personally call the other team and console them like he did that birth control mandate rights law student?

The liberal left hates America.....sadly, they control education, and the MSM. The majority of Americans love their country. We have allowed acedemia, and the media to run roughshod over us.

BUMP for later post as I cannot think of a word...

Hey Bender2, as someone who sorely misses the time he spent in Texas I understand the feeling. Unfortunately, at this point the only word that's likely to make a difference is: lawsuit.

As others have noted, the PC Left has declared all-out war in the culture battle, and they're no longer interested in "talking things out"(not that they ever really were - they just pretended to be). They're now in full "my way or the highway" mode and the only way to deal with them is to defeat them.

Appeasement and compromise merely leaves the Left emboldened to try something similar again at the next opportunity. They need to suffer consequences and defeats that will make it clear to them that even attempting such nonsense is unacceptable.

USA chant is typically made at international events, not domestic ones. If the USA chant was made in my area against one of the high schools with a predominately asian student body most reasonable people would imply the motives were something other than spontaneous patriotism.

However, as I said, the fans rooting for Alamo Heights get a special pass because of the obvious strong emotional attachment many of the latinos in schools in the deep SW have for Mexico. I'm sure this is what compelled the USA chanting, and I probably would've been with em.

Study your Spanish

I decided to learn Spanish after I was already grown up.

I see pro-life bumper stickers in Spanish all over the place, and yet they vote overwhelmingly for leftists.

I found one of my favorite songs, "Alma Llanera," a very popular song from Venezuela, on Youtube. In the comments it said,

"Viva Venezuela, muera Chavez!"

Translation: "Long live Venezuela, die Chavez!"

It's sad that people immigrate here for a better life, and then vote for those who would destroy it here.
