White high school students from Missouri’s Warrensburg School District were busy making America Trump-great again Monday night. At a high school basketball game, the white students decided to hold up a Trump sign and turn their backs while the Center High School boys team was being introduced.
The Warrensburg School District has apologized after one of its students displayed a Donald Trump sign during player introductions for the Center High School boys basketball team on Monday night.
The Center varsity roster has 13 players, all of whom are either black or biracial, according to coach LeDale Wooten.
Toniaa Lakylia Nunn posted the video to her
Facebook page on Monday with this message.
SO let me post this & let it be known how RACIST Warrensburg High School (students) are. As the man is reading off the names of the starting 5 line up for Center High School, the students on the other side of the gym, whom is of course cheering for Warrensburg, turned their backs & held up a TRUMP sign. I'm appalled by the nonsense i've just witnessed with my own two eyes. Like what the hell?! That's Rude!!!!! If this was the Yellowjackets house, nothing but RESPECT would've been giving to these cowards. And i know for a FACT, nothing like this such as racism would've went down!!!!
BLACK LIVES MATTER!

Warrensburg’s superintendent has said the school administration does not condone the “unsportsmanlike” action but that it is a long-standing tradition for the student section to turn their backs on the opposing team. This may be true, but racism is also a “long-standing” tradition and having a Trump sign can’t be that “long-standing” a tradition, can it?
According to the Center School District, the kids were largely unaware of how ignorant the opposing team’s fanbase was acting. They came to play basketball and outwork those students who are still waiting for a billionaire to make them great again.
