| Message of this thread: Right wing trolls really love to defend white boys who act like assholes. |
How many apologies are you going to hear from the media over their hysterical, factually incorrect reporting of the initial excerpt from the video? I saw a timeline of the incident on CNN and it chooses to blame social media for amplifying the hysteria, ignoring it's own role in this nonsense. And you wonder why nobody trusts the media? |
Actually, the message is....... Left wing activists decide that children are expendable in order to advance their agenda. |
Messages of this thread: 1) Lefties really love to condemn whites when there's an altercation between them and minorities, even when the minorities are obviously worse. 2) Lefties can't see their own hypocrisy. |
Message of this thread: Neither side is willing to look at a situation from anything other than their own point of view. |

I keep seeing Phillips referred to as "an elder." Can someone please explain to me what exactly this means?
Is he an "elder" just because of his age? Is an "elder" someone with specific status (like an official leader?) And if yes, how is that achieved (election? Inherited?) |
How were the American Indians "worse"? |

It really is scary how so many people are unwilling to re-assess their view of this situation, especially after more video was released. It's obvious that a lot of those people are full of hate, and pre-judged those kids. Listen, we've all been hoodwinked by the clowns on Fox, MSNBC, etc., but you should use that experience to be more skeptical and not rush to judgement in the future. Doubling down just makes you look like an extremist liberal fool. |
| Did Phillips have anything on that indicated he was a veteran? |
Who cares....the guy completely lied about how the situation unfolded. Zero credibility. |

Liberals with a platform all around the US are deleting their tweets and walking back their condemnation of the teens, yet liberals on DCUM stand strong.
It reminds me of a Springsteen song: Well, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember No retreat, baby, no surrender Like soldiers in the winter's night With a vow to defend No retreat, baby, no surrender |

Lets take color and race out of this and create the narrative this way:
A high school sends a bunch of high school boys to D.C. While the boys are waiting for their bus, a group of 5 men start yelling nasty things at them. The large group of school boys start to yell back. A grown man with a drum starts to walk toward the school boys and bangs his drum in one of the school boys face. School boy smirks and doesn't move. Man keeps banging his drum. The group of school boys then start mocking the man with the drum. Pretend this is how you heard it. What would you say? I find these boys to be awful and they most definitely come across as obnoxious, but this situation is not about those school boys, or Nathan Phillips, or the BHI...it's much, much bigger than this. |

If you get right up in someone's face and beat a drum inches from their nose, and yelling things that you KNOW they can't even understand, then you are DAMN lucky that the only thing that happens is "mocking." This guy (Phillips) has lived on this earth long enough, and experienced enough to KNOW better. |
