It may come as no surprise that this story is out of Alabama. It may come as a surprise that the morons who wore the shirts below say they were just joking.
According to WAFF, Brian McCracken was the assistant vice president of the Boaz youth cheerleading squad. That is, until he showed up to a practice last week with his buddy Brian McDowell and they were both wearing racist t-shirts.
We have not been able to determine which Brian is which, but it really doesn’t matter. One of them is wearing a shirt with a Ku Klux Klan member on it with the tagline “Boys In The Hood,” and the other just went with a more simple message of “White Pride.”
A former volunteer coach named Kayleigh Tipton complained to Commissioner Kenny Jones about the t-shirts, and McCracken and his wife, who was also a coach, have since resigned. Jones also says they “ended up taking care of the situation” by expressing to parents that this type of discriminatory apparel is not allowed.
However, the major injustice here is that Tipton, the volunteer coach who was rightfully offended and reported the racist actions of McCracken and his friend, has since been asked by Jones to not return as a volunteer coach. Many are speculating that this is retribution for her complaint. Obviously, that is not cool, but Jones says this decision has nothing to do with that.
Hmm.
