Hell no. Watch the extended video from the 50 min mark. |
Yes, it does. Did you watch the video? |

When even THE ATLANTIC says that you need to stop believing everything you see on the Internet...maybe reevaluate your stance. |
I find it funny that MAGAts can tell you to believe the MSM and bash the MSM in the same breath. I don't need the Atlantic to see me what I saw on ALL of those videos and what to think about it, PP. I can think for myself. |
I agree that the short videos are inflammatory in that they are capturing just one narrow perspective each. The fault really lies with the chaperones IMO. The kids were not behaving well at all (and kids at my high school would have faced suspension for what they did) but the fault is with the chaperones for not doing their jobs. |
I first encountered their demonstrations when I was in college as an intern from the midwest. So yes, they are so blatantly crazy and provocative that any reasonable person would know to avoid them. |
New poster here. The south? Since when is a Cincinnati suburb part of the south? |
The BHI were yelling at everyone (including the native americans at first). When the kids came wearing Make America Great stuff to the Native American march, it was too easy of a target. They yelled things like, " You want to build a wall, but you stole their land to begin with!" and stuff like that. Watch the long video. The conflict starts at 50 min and goes to 1:12 before Phillips comes in. It is super tense because there were like 70+ big teenagers chanting and acting aggressively, and of course the 5 BHI men were not going to back down. It was very tense. If I had been there, I would have been very uncomfortable. The chaperones should have been paying attention and whoever gave permission for the kids to start chanting back to the BHI was off their rocker nuts. That situation was always going to end up as a viral video. I can see (and the BHI discuss in their video) that Phillips came in and started playing the drum to calm the tensions down, and you can feel it in the video. |
What tensions? The boys were chanting the school spirit cheers. There is no hate in that. It was a form of diversion to get away from the hateful attacks. There was no need for the lying native american to go in and harass those boys as he did...and then lie about it. Shameful |
It does NOT say the kid is exonerated. You are misrepresenting the article. |
You haven't watched the video. I am disappointed to see so many people who are happy to raise entitled, bratty kids. It is surprising but I guess not so surprising. |
What’s shameful is your complete twisting of the video, the Catholic school boys (who are actively mocking the Native American performers, and the smugness of the kid. None of their behavior is excused because 5 black people said bad things. |
FAKE NEWS - Donald Trump tells me so, so I believe him. Don't believe the MSM. |
It certainly did not help that Phillips did interviews and was less than honest about the encounter. By saying some of the things he said that were not true, he made the issue far worse. |
The only lying I've read so far is the boy claiming he was praying when he stood there with a smirk on his face staring down an older Native American doing a peace chant while beating a traditional drum. |
