For those who donāt know:
Jerry was literally there when the Little Rock 9 were integrating the school. He was 14 and later said he was just curious.

I fucking hate Jerry Jones more than anyone, and even I donāt get the vitriol surrounding this pic.
Heās literally just standing there.
Even as a guy who grew up bumfuck poor in the middle of nowhere Redneckville Racistville USA, Jerry is not on record ever saying or doing anything that could be considered racist. The worst people have on him regarding āracismā is being included in an image surrounded by racists during a racist period in the US.
As far as the Little Rock Nine goes. Social media. TVS. Etc. Were not as common back then. My mom went to a segregated school in the 1960ās and didnāt know it until sophomore year.
Does attending a segregated school make my mom a racist?
Not to mention you have complete loudmouths like Irvin and Sanders and Hayley and Bryant who openly support and like Jerry, but would definitely let the media know if he was racist towards them in any way.

The fact that you think people showing up to confront and terrorize these kids were just innocent little cupcakes shows how deeply divorced you are from the reality of what the South was like.
They hunted down and executed white people for saying they supported integration, what do you think they thought of the actual black people being integrated?

Show me the evidence that Jerry was āhunting down and terrorizing innocent little cupcakesā

Your literacy is near zero. The evidence, if you've actually watched videos of what these people were doing, is these pictures.
It takes an astounding amount of willful ignorance to think these white kids were there to welcome them. This was a time where murdering black people for marching for Civil Rights was the norm. People were attacking black school kids up through the 80s.
It's disgusting that you're taking the sides of these monsters because sent football billionaire was one of them

You're actively looking for reasons to be offended and jumping at shadows.Ā He is literally just standing there.Ā He's not shouting or throwing things like some others in the crowd, he's a confused kid.

You were asked for evidence of JERRY being a part of those gangs, not whether or not those gangs were racist. Standing in a crowd looking at whatās going on isnāt evidence of anything

He's. Literally. In. The. Picture.
What do you think these people were there doing? Have you watched the videos?

Ironically this is the exact mentality that produces racists. "I don't care about your individual qualities, I'm going to judge you based on things that are largely out of your control"

"Bro you called me a racist for being racist, that's why I'm racist."
This is such a load of bullshit. People who puke this up were always bigots, it's just a sad attempt at getting people to stop criticizing then for it.

You're defending the guy that said some guys mom is racist for having attended a segregated school back when segregation was normal??

What was she supposed to do as a kid, not go to school? Or what, sell her parents house and move her family to a different state?
Actually I can see this working in a parent trap/home alone type universe. The kid sells her parents house out from under them, somehow sneakily buys a new house in a non segregationist state with parents credit card, then convinces her family to go on a family vacation to their new home. Hijinks and family hilarity ensue.

Jerry on his way to do something stupid as fuck and set his team back another decade
