A sign at an Ohio high school football game has some outraged over what they say is racism but others are saying the sign refers to Internet slang. After Kirtland High School beat rival Painesville Harvey, Kirtland fans unveiled a large sign that read, "You Mad, Bro?" The president of the Lake County, Ohio, chapter of the NAACP called the sign "racial intimidation." The Painesville, Ohio, superintendent agreed. He said, "The sign definitely has a racial connection to it." However, the term is also a common saying on the Internet. If someone gets angry online in a forum or comments section, "u mad bro?" is often used as another way to say the person got the best of them. Whether the sign was in fact racist or just Internet slang, the principal of Kirtland High said there will be a thorough investigation. What's your take on the sign? Tell us on Facebook and Twitter.
I am 48 years old and have used the Term all my life. I never realized till now I was racist. Thank you NAACP.
