High School Students Hail ‘White Power’ After Winning Basketball Game
Students from Howell High School in Michigan went to Twitter to celebrate their win in the most alarming fashion.
A Michigan high school has shocked residents with racist tweets sent last Thursday celebrating the Howell High School's boys basketball team's win over Grand Blanc, MLive.com reports.
According to the news site, several students are now facing disciplinary action for hailing their "white" team's victory following the 54-49 win in the Class A regional final that took place at Linden High School.
Some of the tweets, as reported by the site, included:
"Not only did we beat Grand Blanc but we're all white. Howell's the definite winner tonight."
"All hail white power. #HitlerIsMyDad"
"Tonight was probably one of the most racists nights of my life. I heard so many slurs and expressions. I also said a few things ..."
Other choice hashtags included #kkk #lightthecross #rosaparks and #wewhite.
Grand Blanc has both black and white players.
Howell High School Principal Jason Schrock said that disciplinary action was meted out, but refused to clarify, saying the school is trying to move forward.
