The way I see it, it is like telling a person "if someone sits there and hits you, take it".

Nobody was throwing bananas.

Summit, New Jersey - Federal, state and county representation - Wikipedia

Rampant racism, war on women, conservatives hate poor people, Republicans want children with downs syndrome to fend for themselves. Democrats are forever launching utterly unfounded and incredibly vicious attacks on Republicans. So don't play the innocent when you get a taste of your own medicine.

C'mon, you know you want to call us racist, bigot, homophobes. Let it out, let your holier than thou flag fly. You know you want to.

This is something that commonly happens in soccer games in Europe, fans throwing bananas at black players. A few years ago a Montreal Canadiens fan threw a banana at Steve Weekes in a playoff game against the Carolina Hurricanes.

who cares if they are in northern or southern states. the key is that they were white males. thats the focal point, white males and there inherent racism.

I guess that means I am really, really, really cool and hip.

I don't know how to explain you though.

I bet all of the racists in NJ were Blue dog democrats as well...

According to left-wing blacks, they vote for them because they are the lesser of two evils compared to southern conservative whites who tell young black males to pull their pants up

the object of the bananas was to rile the other team, i think its a wicked idea, if the other team can't handle some bananas then they got bigger problems, you could call it racist, i don't think so, it was just to rile the team, it ought to make the banana team meaner and bust some heads on the field. nobody could say anything about couple illegal hits on the field. paybacks hell. but racist, naw that just a cop out excuse, oh he hurt my feeling. well feeling and a dollar might buy a cup of coffee
