Agree. I'm actually impressed with the main kid. He showed a lot of maturity to just stand there. He also signaled his friend to "cut" the insult - which is quite mature considering black guys just called him a cracker. I'll remember his name. I hope he gets a fine education and becomes a successful professional with a rewarding life. |
Please tell me that pp is joking. |
It's a reference to Orwell's 1984 and "face crime". https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/01/covington-catholic-maga-hatcrime-facecrime/ |
I mean the person who said minors aren’t constitutionally protected |
I am the pp who mentioned face crime. I assume the first pp here was being sarcastic. After all, this has been a nearly week-long debate about a smile. |
Good piece. Thanks for sharing. |
If you've ever wondered what the demographic is on DCUM, just take a look at the comments by black people on social media about this incident. Most I've seen have said, basically, "If anyone got up in my kid's face like that, they'd wish they hadn't." |
| Some commentary from those who know the culture these covington kids are from: http://www.bluejersey.com/2019/01/covington-catholic-it-could-have-been-me/ |
Covington kids were in TV yesterday defending the practice. |
Great article. |
I am Catholic and no it is not okay for Catholics to perform/dress up in blackface. Is it legal? yes. is it racist? yes. Is it in line with the teachings of Jesus? No. Btw, they do receive federal tax breaks so they are.subsidized by the federal government and they are not allowed to make a hostile environment for black students. It is my community with so yes I can and will speak out against all the atrocities in the Catholic church. |
| "It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself – anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called." -- George Orwell, 1984 (1949) |
Mic drop. |
Oh, please do. He will sue a crap out of you. When he grows up. He is a kid, remember? |
I’m just saying things are changing. I didn’t say if it’s good or bad. Just antiquated. |
