I went to a majority black school district, as a non-black person, all my life.  I have literally hundreds of black friends. 
 
You guys simply don’t know what the hell you’re talking talking about. The vast majority of my classmates are working professionals who are now married, have kids, full-time jobs, etc..
 
where the hell are you rural town white folk getting the idea that the majority of black people are looking for handouts? Oh that’s right.. THE MEDIA.  You guys loveeeeee blaming the media, but then all of a sudden believe the media when it supports your already established views. 

No, actually the person who has 270 Electoral College Votes wins, not "whoever wins Ohio and Florida."  Are you arguing that Trump got more of the popular vote than Biden?  It's remarkable that fraud occurred in the two or three swing states that would flip the election.  Isn't it crazy how zero fraud occurred in any state EXCEPT the ones that Trump needed to flip the thing?  Lol.  No fraud in the congressional races, either... just the presidential race.  Crazy how that happened. 
Joebama might be pitiful, but he bounced Trumps toupee off of the headboard bigly. 
 

Wait.. y’all still fall for this “country is doomed” rhetoric.. year after year after year after year??
 
Are y’all 80 years old and just found out about the internet? Or just low IQ..

I get your meaning, but they’ve had 3 shots at it. 0-3. The real answer shouldn’t be, “We haven’t had a chance...”. The real answer should be, “We hired 3 qualified deserving coaches every time.” If the job comes up, ALL applicants should be considered solely  on their merits and what they can bring to the program. That’s it. If it’s a black person, awesome. If it’s a person from India, great. If it’s a white person from Kansas, good for him/her. Hire the most qualified for the job. 

I don't know that a black coach would be on any shorter of a hook than a coach of any other skin color.  Sure there would be some who would want to ride him out of town.  But then again, there is a contingent of the greater Orange community that wants to do that to the current head coach despite the fact that in his 10 years as head coach (along with a very instrumental role in the era of his successor), he has led the Mustangs to 2 state championships, to the finals 2 more times and has advanced 4 rounds deep in the playoffs in every season of his tenure except 1. All of that plus raising the football team's winning percentage from .786 to .806 during his tenure (#1 in the state among schools that have played at least 500 games).  Yes, some of those who want him gone occupy this board......deny it as they will.
Some wish to call that "complacency".....not messing with a good thing.  And despite the claims of some, the West Orange-Stark Mustangs' football team is a good thing.
In topics here about other coaches and change, there has been a lot of talk about culture.  When I see a post on here on here that the primary consideration for the next head coach, whenever that change might become necessary, should be skin color, it makes me wonder if the posts I made in those topics about the current culture at WO-S are accurate and if the current football culture in my old home town has changed.....and not for the better.
If after an extensive search (something I do agree with) the best candidate to succeed Cornel Thompson, whenever that may occur, and to maintain or improve the tradition of winning at West Orange-Stark is an African-American, I will gladly welcome it as I expect other Mustang fans and alum will.  In fact, whoever it is will have my full support as that person's success will greatly affect my mood on Friday nights between Labor Day and Christmas.  However, if it appears that successor is put in place merely to satisfy some sense of social justice.......than yeah, I expect many will show their displeasure at the first sign of any misstep by the Mustangs.
After all, the West Orange-Stark Mustang football team is exactly that, a football team.
Much to dismay of plenty, some on this board, some in the superintendent's office, the Mustangs are not a social experiment.

Shouldn't the qualifications come before color?

Well, another claim from Trump put to rest. Trump can keep his ball and stay home. Let the games continue. We got another ball. 

Trump IGNORED the problem. His downfall. If we followed the rules, there would be no reason to shut down. Trump didn't push the issue and he suffered.

Not my boy.  But it is humorous watching you claim fake news while constantly posting links to tinfoilhat.com.  

I can agree with every word of that. Thanks for an excellent post.

Hey @WestHardinfan1, indirectly he just made fun of you and your Einstein jab at me. To spell it out for you, he is saying that you are not very smart. 

Speaking of Einstein, you might want to peruse Chapter 418 of the Government Code.

From the above article...
“The governor and the (Ohio) health department have made it very clear that masks are required indoor and outdoor at sports facilities. They’re just part of the expectation,” said Venderlic. “They’re one of the requirements the OHSAA (Ohio High School Athletic Association) brought down and said that if we’re going to be able to have fall sports we’re going to have to social distance and we’re going to have to wear masks.”
“Our other options are no fans — which is not what we want to do,” said Schultheiss. “The other option is to stop the game and then we send kids home. I don’t want to hurt these kids. We’re here to respect the players and let the kids play.”
 
Do you're part, follow the guidelines, even if you don't agree, LET THEM PLAY!!!

Does one have the right to enter a store with no shoes and shirt and expect service when the sign on the door states "no shoes, no shirt, no service"?

Ok stop calling out Foster. No reason to talk down on him. 

I think I can agree with most of the above. It's ok to fight back when one is threatened. Judgment is for all. Not just the ones who need it the most. 
I again think of the words of Edmond burke.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Soon all good Christian men will have a choice to make. I stand with my brothers of all colors. Knowing that our faith will unite us in the times ahead.

I agree.

Everything Trump does is a con job.  You should be used to being conned by now.  How hypercritical can you get.
