![]() Full article: ![]() Resurfaced Photo Shows Cowboy's Owner Jerry Jones With Students Trying To Keep Arkansas School Segregated ![]() In the resurfaced a*sociated Press photo, Jones, who was 14 at the time, is pictured*wearing a striped shirt a few rows*back on the school steps. Jones' appearance in the photo*was mentioned prominently in a Washington Post story*about the Cowboys owner. Jones addressed his presence in the crowd*after the Cowboys' victory against the New York Giants*on Thanksgiving. "I didn't know at the time the monumental event that was going on, and I'm sure glad that we're a long way from that," Jones, 80, said of the incident that occurred when he*was a sophomore. "I am. That would remind me just to continue to do everything we can to not have those kinds of things happen." The protest occurred in the same month*as a highly publicized incident at nearby Little Rock Central, when then President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent federal troops to the Arkansas capital to make sure that nine Black students could enter that*school. Jones told The Post he was in the*North Little Rock crowd to watch, not participate. He said his*football coach had warned players to steer clear.* "I got criticized because I was more interested in how I was going to be punished by my coaches and everybody for being out front, but nobody there had any idea frankly of what was going to take place," Jones said Thursday. "We didn't have all*of the last 70 years of reference and all the things that were going, so you didn't have a reference point there. Still, I've got*a habit of sticking this nose in the right place at the wrong time." Jones said he did get in trouble for being there. "I was a young sophomore trying to make the team, and they kicked my a*s," he said. Last edited by nigs; 11-26-2022 at 02:26 PM.. |

When women start talking “me too” most dudes either tune in or tune out, but it’s always an eyebrow raiser with the dude who gets mad about the discussion alone. Like we shouldn’t even talk about it. Why? (The answer is obvious). I’m sure the answer to why this pissed you off so badly is similar. This wreaks of “ *sigh* here they go again! ![]() | |

Yea I'm pretty sure they are most likely still bigots. You're either naive or stupid to think people just change with time. | |

A white guy comes up to me telling me about a program he runs for youth and inner city youth on his boat teaching them about aquatics and nautical stuff.. good stuff He proceeds to tell me how his life changed as a youngin. He said that’s what they did at the time. Backyard parties, they talk and in the convos there was always n word this and n word that It was just what they did normally. Said his moms married a black dude one day and his friends turned on him called him names etc etc Changed his life his perspective and everything Needless to say yes we can be about 99.9 percent sure Jones was out there being and yelling racial slurs | |

![]() “I hate this site, therefore it should be shut down”.. STFU. There is thing called “guilty by a*sociation” it’s applied to blacks and latino all the time.. But here is where we make the exception ? ![]() Your logic is the equivalent of seeing a picture of a bunch of Nazis with guns to peoples heads.. and that are just standing in the background should be exonerated because it’s a picture and we don’t know who they are now … And is Jackie Robinson you fu*king inbred.

He was a racist & prolly still is
The problem isnt with him attending that slurfest, it's that he has consistently supported republicans and conservatives who perpetuate those racist incidents at scale Like who cares why he was there. When he got rich he worked with politicians that wanted to resegregate schools & divest from black communities. Thats a bigger issue |
