Reply to comment by Intelligent-Hunt7557 in Citing racism, MUHS girls’ basketball team skip game at Enosburg Falls by thedvlandgod

While I’m kinda with you, the other dudes plan does have some historical precedent. Since you decided to jump right to hitler, the 1936 olympics are a pretty famous debate the nazi thing you are talking about. Your argument would not have the us or anyone participate and certainly not have Jesse Owens compete.

So you think Enosburgh’s players and parents must be appeased so that they don’t invade? LOL.

The actual facts of the 1936 Olympics were so embarrassing for the US and/or boring that white America mostly made shit up, most of which is believed to this day. Jesse himself got sick of people not believing him and eventually co-signed the bullshit. I’d be happy to dive into the facts but maybe just Google ‘1936 Olympic myths’ yourself?
