When Basketball Fans From An Iowa Town That Is 96% White Wanted To Racially Taunt Minority Players On Another Team , They Chose A Familiar Word

Dallas Center Iowa is a small town with a 98% white population. Grimes ,Iowa is a larger town of 9,000 people that is 95% white.  Dallas Center-Grimes is the name of the school district and local high school. 

Last week their basketball team went to another town to play the team from Perry High School. Perry has a 48% minority student body including numerous African Americans, Native Americans, and Latinos. 

So when the "white" student body wanted to taunt the minority players on the Perry team, and they did, what word did they choose ? What racial epithet or slur designed to cause those turnovers and missed free throws ? 

"Trump, Trump, Trump , Trump Trump" , they yelled.

Students visiting Perry High School in Iowa on Monday night reportedly turned Donald Trump’s name into a racist chant to taunt minority members of the home team.

According to  WHO-TV , students supporting Dallas Center-Grimes High School’s team “used Trump’s disdain for illegal immigrants to target several players of Latino descent.”

“Trump, Trump, Trump” and “U.S.A” were two chants used to target members of the Perry team, witnesses said.

“We are all aware of racism, it’s alive and well in small portions but it’s alive and well and it’s just hurtful to see that’s what they resort to,” Perry Student Section Leader Kevin Lopez told WHO-TV.

From the title I was expected a racial slur with two sylables.  It feels kinda racist to admit that.

This is just as bad, and signifies the same sentiment.

The people that get off their butts and go to caucus like him. They want to shake up the establishment throw the rinos out and bring in fresh blood. They are sick of plastic politically correct liars spewing speeches written by hired BS artists.

Half of the people in that video look like they crawled out of a fricking crypt.

I watched almost all the video Pat, and it is both frightening and mind numbing. I hope to God the film maker was cherry picking the most simple minded people there to highlight, because if that menagerie was some sort of cross section of America we are fucked. 

Towards the end we see Trump's sly campaign at work. They pass out way more free tickets to his events than the venue will hold, so the room is always packed. No one tells you that hundreds of people were locked out of the room even though they had a ticket.

The only way people can even attempt to explain, let alone defend , Donald Trump is to attack Hillary Clinton. No intelligent person has anything good to say about Trump. His most fervent and true supporters are morons. 

Now that he is running away with the nomination the country is going to have to confront these unpleasant truths.

And I'll bet the ones locked out won't blame Trump for it.

That was painful to watch.  It was like live footage of a certain NT sock puppet (Sheckler) that is no longer a member ... thank Jesus.
