So this happened at a high school basketball game here in lovely Southwestern PA... [View all]

On Wednesday evening, Connellsville HS was playing Uniontown HS. Uniontown has a small population of black students, some of whom play on their basketball team. Students from Connellsville (a hillbilly racist area) held up a Trump/Pence campaign sign and the students were chanting..."Keep them out and build the wall", while black students were shooting foul shots. Of course the Uniontown fans were appalled. This piece of garbage in the White House has tainted everything in this country. I think I will call the Southern Poverty Law Center today.
