So the boys are forgiving the black Hebrews for yelling at them? |
It's just the height of stupidity for white people to paint their faces black. For any reason. No matter if it's a "blackout game" whatever the hell that is. |

This is not whataboutism:
"Just a guess, but I bet you didn't say "he's just a kid" when Tamir Rice was murdered by a policeman. Just a guess, but I bet you weren't in the debate club at your school. Engaging in whataboutism will not win you a debate." Whataboutism is when you say that I didn't report all my income to the IRS and I respond by saying that Jane, your ally, also didn't report all of her income. This is an example of hypocrisy. People who don't want police officers charged and found guilty for shooting and killing teens, ostensibly because the teens are bad eggs who deserved it, are now saying that we should go easy on teens who misbehave. |
SMH. Just calling it a different name doesn’t make it acceptable Ignorant jerk. |
The boys really didn't double down on hate. The statement the "smirk" boy made was backed up by the video. And his statement didn't have any hate in it. Mr Phillips in my opinion was to blame for how this was perceived at first by media. he has made numerous incendiary statements to the press (he seems to seek out media attention) that have thrown fuel to the fire. Now I read he wants to have in interview with the Pope to talk about “what role the Church might be willing to play in reconciling the Catholic community worldwide and Indigenous people.” Phillips is mad that Sandman hasn't apologized to him, but doesn't admit to his own responsibility in inserting himself into the group that didn't invite him to play his drums for them, nor for his role in spreading falsehoods about his actions. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jan/22/nathan-phillips-seeks-meeting-covington-catholic-r/ |

How would this have played in Liberal Land if the colors were reversed:
A group of black teens from an inner-city public school go to DC, only to be taunted by several white nationalists yelling racist things. They wisely do not engage with them, and then an old white man gets in the face of one of them and sings....oh.....I don't know.....I Wish I Was in Dixie. In the face of all this taunting, the restrained black kid does nothing other than give a slight smirk. Libs would be praising the black teen and condemning the white nationalists and the Old Confederacy guy. |
Glad you are morally superior to everyone on earth. Glad you are more intelligent than 16 year old boys. Guess you also think that painting faces orange or green to cheer on your team is not appropriate either. Because thousands of people do it every Sunday to cheer their team. |
Have a lovely evening. I will pray for you. |
The kid said he was praying. No one in their right mind believes he was praying when he stared with a smirk without blinking at the man chanting. |
Where are the adults? When they see the first stupid kid come out with black face they should have sent him home. Shut that shit down. The adults are to blame. |
Please do. All night. That would be an excellent use of your time and abilities. |
Well if there is a history of white people painting their faces orange or green to mock orange and green people they have subjugated for centuries, then I would guess we'd have a problem with them doing that now even if they say they are just cheering on their team. |
You know who showed real restraint? The group of kids not from Covington who stood in a circle and prayed while the black Hebrews were spewing vile things toward them. And then went up and told the men they loved them. And then left quietly. The end. |
Just like I blame the chaperones. Many kids will be stupid if you let them. These kids don’t have adults guiding them to do the right thing. Sad. |
Sounds fun! |
