A high school basketball coach is Minneapolis is crying foul after students at an opposing school brought a Trump banner to a game Tuesday, alleging the incident was a racist attack against his mostly black team.

Home team fans, however, resent the racist accusations and contend students simply used the banner as part of a “long-planned USA blackout theme night,” the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Michael Walker, coach for Minneapolis’ Roosevelt High School boys basketball team, took a picture of the banner and posted a diatribe on Facebook about the students at Jordan High School, rather than simply approaching them at the game like an adult.

The picture shows more than two dozen students decked out in red, white and blue with the banner draped across the laps of four students in the front row. It read: “Trump 2020 Keep America Great!”

“I coach a predominantly black inner city high school team,” Walker wrote. “We go out to a rural area in Jordan, MN and this is there. Please explain how and why this is appropriate at a high school basketball game?”

Walker, who is black and the director of the district’s Office of Black Male Student Achievement, made it clear he was accusing the students of racism with a series of hashtags that accompanied the post, including #blackandproud, #blackmenmatter, #blackmen, and #representationmatters, according to CityPages.

He did not point out a black student is sitting in the front row of the Jordan student section in the picture, just one student away from the pro-Trump banner. Walker also did not mention any attempt to discuss his feelings with the students before airing his grievances on Facebook.

The post, which has since disappeared, sparked heated discussion, with several folks in Jordan taking exception to the racist allegations.

Parent Bridget Kahn told the Tribune the Trump banner belonged to her, and her son and his friends used it as a cape for the USA theme night for Tuesday’s game.

“I didn’t see anything wrong with that,” she said.

Kahn said students simply wore “a bunch of red, white and blue, supporting their president.

“They don’t have a racist bone in their body,” she said.

Kahn noted that the Minneapolis team remained in the locker room during the national anthem before tip-off.

Regardless, Walker’s Facebook post caused enough controversy to convince Jordan School District Superintendent Matt Helgerson to release a statement Wednesday to apologize “that Roosevelt players and their coaching staff, fans and community were made to feel uncomfortable, as it is always our intent to graciously host our opponents.”

The district is now “reviewing this matter and collecting information (and) working cooperatively with the Minneapolis School District and Roosevelt High School in our review and response to this event,” the statement read.

Helgerson said he personally witnessed students in USA gear, but did not see the Trump banner when he arrived at halftime. Minneapolis superintendent Dirk Tedmon told the Tribune the district’s policy bans political advertising at games.

Helgerson said Jordan officials are researching to determine what the policy is there.

“We’re in the process of reviewing all our policies as it relates to this particular situation,” he said. “This is a new one for me.”

Meanwhile, others in Jordan think the whole situation is overblown.

“I have no issues with a Trump flag at our game last night. …. It’s actually pretty cool (young people) are paying attention to things going on in our country,” Jenna Orris, a mother of three kids in Jordan schools, told the Tribune.

“They were not trying to be offensive,” she said. “Our town is the least racist … I just don’t understand how this got turned into a race thing.”
