[Police and school authorities in California are investigating after high school students were photographed
making Nazi salutes over a swastika formed out of plastic drinking cups.]


They are Young American Students
so what do you expect?

This sounds too ridiculous to be anything but idiots messing around. Real racists exist, but it's not them.

Yes it is a Pathetic Story

Pillocks, its right that they should at least get a visit from the police though, shut them down from the off

Tommy Robinson's fault

So they build their own swastika, do a nazi salute with it and proudly put pictures of it online, but they’re not racist?

Disgusting. If one of them were my kids they'd be getting a bloody good hiding

Why what race are they offending specifically?

not making nazi salutes or swastikas, that's what I'd expect :facepalm:

any but white
don't ask stupid questions, you know very well about nazis and what they stood for
decent people don't do that, even as a joke

white students being rascist for fun... why is this news??

That Community
made it news
brought in a old Jewish Lady to speak

Yes, how DARE anyone bring attention to the racism of these idiots?!

These Students are all learning from
their Cup Display.


Local California Police involved

[Holocaust survivor Eva Schloss met with some of the students who were at the party]


Lucky she was still alive

They didn't "build" anything, they arranged red solo cups, which had probably been filled with the American version of Lambrini. They were just being edgelords. Was it stupid? Yes. Do they deserve it to have any impact on their lives? Nope.

Since when pretending to be a nazi become some sort of rite of passage?

Yup, I know what we should do guys, let's pick the vilest ideology human race has ever come up with and let's make a joke with it

:facepalm:

Springtime for Hitler and Germany

Its not racism im afraid. Its a immature and stupid but racism no.

You call it the vilest, but it ain't killed no where near as many as Communism.

I can't believe you're making me defend the Nazis.

These Punk Students may
love the German Uniform
it could be sexy , for them

The Nazi symbol, in America especially due to Neo Nazis and the KKK, is synonymous with racism.

To act like this isn't racist, is to be ignorant of the facts.

Its not racism im afraid

Yes LT
the Young love the Nazi Gear

Not your best attempts, LT. Do better.

It's a tiny, tiny group of people, who are condemned by just about everybody else. They can't gain any power, and won't cause no major harm.

There's nothing to worry about. Just laugh at them, ridicule them, ignore them, but don't let them make you angry. If they start going out their way to cause physical harm on an industrial level, then worry. Until then, just laugh and pity them.

i mean to me there’s no doubt that this is racist but like what is even the point in being outraged anymore? like i’m just bored by stories like this. white people doing rascist **** what the hell is new??

It's not just White people that do it, there's also Black people that are the same, saying things like "Black power"

black power isn’t racist lmaoo

also i never said it was only white people i’m just not shocked when a story like this comes out.

Well then if Black power isn't racist, then in an equal country with equal laws for everyone, that would mean people preaching White Power isn't racist.

I believe all people who preach that sh1t are racist, I don't discriminate on skin colour.

baiting members is against the rules and as a mod you should be aware. post about the topic not the member

Ah, the mini mod routine. Next should be the pearl clutching act, right?

If your first response to racism is to get defensive and say 'well black people can be racist too!' instead of condemning the actual act of racism itself then that says more than words ever will.

I mean realistically they're just teenagers who thought they'd try to be edgy and impress their friends by being "rly controversial".

Blown massively out of proportion by a rabid media IMO.

I did say, it is racist in my last post, I said they should be laughed at, ridiculed or ignored.

Somebody in this thread actually said that Black people preaching Black power isn't racist, but White people preaching White Power is.

If you do a racist thing on the internet, you have to accept the fact that you'll be thought as a racist. These teenagers were raised with the internet, they should know more than any other generation how putting things online can haunt you.

Not much else to be said IMO.

It depends on the context. The term 'White Power' was coined out of white supremacy. Black power is more akin to girl power, it's more about empowerment rather than claiming supremacy over another race or gender.

There might be Black supremacists out there but you've got to accept that the origins of white power and black power are different and so are their meanings for the most part.
