Warriorman's High School Football Week In Review Week 1

[warriorman]

Oak Grove 42, Gulfport 20 -- Go Oak Grove Warriors

[SoMissTV]

It's stereotypical posts like these that make me understand why the NCAA is banning native american mascots...

[Conveyor Belt]

It's the idiots behind the image, not the image...

Consistency in writing style is always a plus. Right hubba?

OG sucks, even though they may win a game or two

[politically incorrect]

No way OG will ever beat South Panola State University. Best they can hope for is another South State title and being beaten by the titans of the North in the championship game. I say that wishing that it were not true, because I used to work with Coach Barr, Coach Byrd and Coach Schraeder when they were at Petal. I would like for them to finally get a state championship, but I am afraid the odds are stacked heavily against them.

[lamarrebel]

South Panola almost lost its opener Friday night to a 4A school (albeit a very good one)...they may not go undefeated this season. Wayne County knocked off the "U" in the State Title game a few years ago, so anything is possible.

Spoofing aside (talk about not having a sense humor!), Oak Grove will need to improve on defense and reduce turnovers (they had a least 4 Friday night) or they could stumble again before making it to Jackson

[fuzzis]

It might have been funny if you had the talent to actually carry it off. Alas, you do not, and thus it wasn't funny. Kinda sad in a pathetic way.

Now, if "Warriorman's" spoofs are racist, what are "Reverand's" and "RevRan Al"'s, both screenname's I understand done by individuals on here who are white?

I'm not sure why you're quoting me on this, hubba. I didn't say that your "spoofs" :roll: were racist, although I do think that they're rather insensitive and juvenile; I said you didn't have the writing ability to actually carry a spoof off. You start off in a stereotypical style and then there's a distinct switch to the style of hubba. (Would your Warriorman character actually use the word "deficit"?)

As some food for thought for you, consider looking at "American Indian Writing, Seen Through a New Lens" from the NYTimes on 8/19.

[lamarrebel]

Actually, Warriorman has often talked about coming out of the cave, which I don't recall from my limited recollection of Native American history has anything to do with them. Scalpings while on the warpath were common, but caves were not.

You are correct, you didn't say anything about warriorman being racist, but SoMiss and someone else have. This just smacks of being singled out and there being a different standard.

So, in creating your "spoof", you were not only insensitive but ignorant as well?

I've never said I approve of those, either.

But you have been silent about those. If you are going to condemn warriorman, condemn them all.

Well, you've got to start somewhere. This is where I choose to start.

By the way, the "but everyone else is doing it" argument is normally used by third-graders, and doesn't stand up in court.

This isn't a court of law, nor is it third grade. I am simply sick and tired of you and a few others turning a blind eye to comments that make fun and exaggerate the dialects of some African Americans and turn around and blast warriorman who talks like a caveman (not a protected group under the Civil Rights Act of 1964) in the same breath.

Let's look at the record: RevRanAl 270 posts, Reverand 110, Warriorman 71. Do I need to see how many of you have given thanks and rep points to these two? All I am asking is be consistent and be fair.

So, ok, go ahead and blast this and let everyone in the anti-Hubba "amen section" else give their rep points and thanks. I'm going out to mow my grass. :smt102

It's all their FAULT. :sob:

:roll:

One thing that children learn is that fair means different things. Fair doesn't mean having the same standard for everyone. You, who have abused the alias system here, deserve a bit more scrutiny than others. You through your own actions have brought this firestorm down on yourself and you continue to perpetuate it by doing those very things that get you blasted. (And I don't read the Rev or Rev Al because I do find them offensive so I highly doubt you'll find my thanks there, although you might)

:smt038 This isn't going to earn me any rep points for sure, in fact I don't know how to give them due to my limited time posting here. And you crossed the line on some issues in some of your posts.

Hub, you hit the nail on the head, I was thinking the same thing verbatum concerning warrior man. And if there is one thing that will piss me off is seeing school yard bullies beating on someone for being who they are. You are one of a kind. Not that I agree with you a lot, but one of a kind no less!

Mow what you can see, the rest will judge with self reflection in their judgments to build themself up by tearing you down. That is weak and so are they for not realizing this wisdom.

As for rep points, well, I could care less. That is also a reflection of something other than wisdom. If we can't laugh at Warrior man, we need a life with real problems...this is America, not the former Soviet Union people. We say grace and we same maam, if you ain't in to that, I dont give a d***! --Hank Jr.--

Good Grief, get a life if Warrior man is offensive...and yes, I am part Indian!

So suck the life out of the humor if that is all the offended people have to do...

[MrPaulB007]

It's the idiots behind the image, not the image...

Converyor, I have told you that I find your insight to be level headed and that I appreciate your input. Not that you care, but in light of the offense taken by Warriorman's satire, I feel you are in danger of being sued for lack of political correctness of your signature. BTW, I love it because it reminds me of something my hero, The Duke, would say!

For those who care about the origin of the slang term "Cracker", here is a bit o trivia. The Spainish discovered Florida and brought cattle with them for a replinishable food supply. However, after trying to navigate the dense mangroves, palmettos, and dealing with melaria they gave up their conquest of the area for a period of time. The terrain was too difficult for them to tame.

While they were not habitating their discovery, the cattle became wild. In turn, and after time, the area became able to be settled as the 13 colonies carved a path from the north. The white men, who were taming the dense forrests, began rounding up the cattle. Indians could hear them coming through the woods cracking their bull whips driving the cattle. The crack of the whip, which is actually made by the tip of the whip breaking the sound barrier at its apex of directional change, made a loud cracking noise. They became known as crackers, our ealiest cowboys!

These early "cowboys" became known as crackers and the irony was that they were rounding up the cattle to sell to, you guessed it, the Spainish! The very nation that brought the cattle in the first place was now paying a living to "crackers" who were supplying them with their cattle.

The term survived the ages, and was transferred to plantation owners who used whips on slaves. Today, any "honkey" could be called by the now slang term, "cracker" and not just because a cracker is usually blond in color.

Now I love Converyor's signature, it does not offend me and I respect him and his views though I don't know who he, in fact, is. He makes me laugh and he makes me think and I have NEVER seen him personally belittle any members here. But, it would be no less politically correct for a black man to have a signature stating, "you can't call me n*****, only we can call each other n*****!"

Personally, neither would offend me. Converyor could be black for all I know, it still doesn't matter. I also think alot of SoMissTV because of her insightful contributions. But, if we are going to be offended by satire, we are having our freedom of speech denied. THAT is what we laugh about, cry about, and grow from. It is why we are AMERICAN!

If you can't laugh, you may as well cry. That or become a communist mongloid with no sense of humor...or dreams beyond the ground. Be "mad as a muslim," for all I care and yes I know that was politically incorrect but the context fits the scenario here. Personally, I believe we all should aspire for dreams beyond the sky and laugh even when it is not possible!

And if Nagin can say what it wants, so can we...at least we are not...well the mayor of New Orleans. That is my viewpoint, I am not Jim Cameron!:smt108

Warriorman, post your satire away. I loved it. And do me a favor if you can. See what you can do about getting the the crowd at the games to stop booing the opposition when they take the field. It is not a good reflection for them to be booing any team, unless after a bad call or personal foul, just because they are there to play. Especially when Gulport players may not have homes to come from. THAT was embarassing and not a reflecion of Southern Hospitality.

Converyor, watch out for lawsuits lest we have to move to Canada where they don't stand for anything!:smt028 or Mexico where I here they don't need to stand for anything because the get that siesta nap daily and their problems seem to go away with each nap!

:headscrat BTW, if America would "Annex" Mexico, it would solve the imigration problems....but tequila would cost too much!:smt119

[Conveyor Belt]

My signature is a line by comedian Mike Birbiglia, www.mikebirbiglia.com . He's one of my favorite comedians, currently. He has a whole bit about how black people call each other the 'n' word, so he started calling all his white friends 'cracker'. "Cracker, what? Cracker, Please!" I don't think it's the least bit racist, but rather pokes fun at the double standard of racial slurs. It's okay for minorities to use them against whites, but not okay for whites to use them against minorities. Comedy is the great uniter.

Why don't you just post this under your other screenname, hub? If you're going to be racist, at least attach your name to it.

Or would that be a conflict of interest? I've heard you two are very close.

[wilebill]

Is warriorman supposed to be a personification of an Oak Grove warrior? If so, they're being portrayed as a bunch of dumb, unfunny, Indian hicks. Not too flattering if you're an OG fan.

[lamarrebel]

Oak Grove's academic reputation has been proven and shown once again by the latest ratings released by the State Department of Education (all schools Level 5s). Other than Lillie Burney's quite remarkable improvement, for which that school should rightfully be proud, HPS and most other area school districts can only dream of this record of student achievement.

All of you need to take a chill pill and see Warriorman for the parody and spoof that it is, which in no way reflects accurately the real views and opinions of its, or this, author. Warriorman is meant for comic relief, in much the same way RevRan Al, Just Wynn, and Reverand are.

[SoMissTV]

My point is if you are going to continue this kind of crap, just do it under your hubbarrister screenname so everyone on here knows who it is coming from.

After all, you have nothing to be ashamed of, right?

If it was as funny, humorous, or enlightening as RevRan Al, Just Wynn, and Reverend then it'd be easier to swallow. You just don't have the knack that they seem to have.

Warriorman is just sad. :(

[lamarrebel]

Are you saying RevRanAl isn't an alias for someone who makes more serious posts? All of my posts are in complete and coherent sentences a(albeit with occasional typographical errors and such) and are mostly related to the issues of the day (vbookie and games notwithstanding). Warriorman, by design, has a different personna that is simply meant to spoof and ruffle feathers.

I recall one of our most prominent users admitted to creating "Dolly" as an alias. The sn name a different personna from the other name.

All of you need to take a chill pill ... [snip]
Hubbarrister, would you please stop lauding Oak Grove schools with such a self-righteous and demeaning tone with respect to other school districts? All school districts in our area are working hard to improve quality of education ... while addressing a number of varying obstacles.

And why would Lillie Burney's improvement be construed as remarkable (assuming the definition context of conspicuously unusual)? It was certainly the result of of a definitive plan and extraordinary effort by the students, faculty, and administration. And you are correct, it is a proud result for the district.

It would help very much if you tried not to sound so superior and implicate an entire community (Oak Grove) with such an elitist diatribe. Perhaps you should consider a little self-medication with that chill pill. :smt102

[Kitty]

Indeed. We wouldn't want misguided comments to result in broad-brush generalizations about the rest of us.

All three of Petal's ranked schools maintained Level 5 status, making it the only district in the state to have earned the state's top mark at all schools every year since the inception of the ranking system in 2003, Superintendent James Hutto said.

And they did this while taking the risk of implementing next year's higher testing standards this year...without requesting a hold harmless exemption.

Well, Tully. You're probably out of luck on this one. The ole barrister, hubbarrister, used typical escape verbiage ... i.e.

Color added for emphasis. By using the word "most", he can now say, with impunity, that he certainly did not mean to include Petal among the wanna be school districts. :banghead: :smt119

As I have already stated, you do not have the talent or the apparent will to actually carry off such comic relief. Parody and satire require skill and you either do not possess it or do not care.

[Wayward]

On these current set of "tests," Oak Grove is only slightly outperforming the Petal Schools.
It's not really an inter community contest, TheDoc. Unfortunately, Hubba and others might judge the situation differently. It's actually a contest between between each individual student and his or her personal future.

:smt006

[lamarrebel]

Greetings from Nashville! I haven't had computer access over the past twenty four hours, so let me try to respond.

Yes, Wayward, I did use the word "most" in that post, because I specifically had Petal as well as a couple of others in mind. Petal does have a wonderful school district, and there are good individual teachers in every school around here.


With regard to Lillie Burney, I believe I read that as of 2002 or 2003, Lillie Burney was a Level 2 school. For any school to raise itself to Level 5 in such a short period is remarkable. I stand by my remark in the fullest. Lillie Burney is a poor inner city school, where many of its students frankly face a lot of disadvantages that many do not readily comprehend. The parents, students, faculty, and administration at Lillie Burney should indeed be proud!


The fact is, however,Lamar County and Petal schools year in and year out outperform most of the other schools in this area. We can argue over the causes of this, but the fact is that it is happening -- the raw statistics speak for themselves. Excellent schools have been and will remain a major drawing point to our respective communities.

However, I believe with good parents, the instillation of the values of hard work, motivation and ambition, a student from the poorest of schools can succeed in life. I went to a small rural school (the same one State Senator Charlie Ross, a honors graduate of Harvard Law School did) and both of us have turned out all right, just as countless others from similar situations have.

I also saw yesterday in the Clarion Ledger a scaled rating of all schools regardless of grade level (from 100 being lowest to 600 being the highest). Oak Grove High School had the 4th highest rated performing school in the state, with Petal High School the 7th highest and Oak Grove Middle 8th or 9th (I could have Petal and Oak Grove middle reversed -- I'm in Nashville and don't have yesterday's paper in from of me).

So, there's no foot in my mouth, and no apology will be forthcoming.

[Wayward]

You just don't get it, Hubba. My post was about your demeaning tone (in your original post) with respect to school districts other than Lamar County. Your follow-up post was a good effort at cover ... but it doesn't address the real issue. You just don't get it. :banghead:

Enjoy Nashville.
