Covington Kids Exonerated from Wrong-doing

[_honorentheos]

At least we're landing on the real issue for you. It's about the hat.

That's utterly dishonest. I am defending an assertion I made that is secondary to my main point because you brought it up, and you use the fact that I reply to the comment you made as proof that it is the real issue?

Would you rather that I focus on you not liking the look on the kid's face?

The kid in question didn't even engage in the egregious sin of the tomahawk chop. He just stood there, probably bewildered and eventually a bit resolute, and as evidenced in the video I posted actually intervened when another student began to argue with a racist NA protestor and told him to cut it out.

The mental gymnastics on this one is so astounding I'm actually bemused at this point.

We're in bizarro world where lying adults can act like assholes toward teens and the teens, one teen in particular, are the perps because of the color of their skin, their current privilege, and future potential as privileged males.

The Left is sick. Literally mentally ill.

As if sick and mentally ill weren't bad enough (they most certainly are in my opinion) they are extremely destructive to America and they continue to widen an already unbridgeable divide.

You need to get your money back from Prager U.

The Looney Tunes' faux outrage over NA disrespect is just laughable considering a good portion of the Left have been silent, or even complicit, in Elizabeth Warren's appropriation of Cherokee heritage, identity, and struggle. She was listed as a Woman of Color with Harvard. THAT is racism and White Privilege in practice. damned bizarro world.

If Trump can be a model Christian, she can be a Cherokee.



What is identity again?

Get my money back? I just sent more! It's that important in my opinion.

Perhaps you should start listening to Prgaer U - It might widen your currently narrow field of vision - and who knows, you might actually gain some much needed balance and wisdom.

Coming back to this, because it should be apparent to anyone watching the longer video that their core views are actually your core views. They focus on the kids wearing the hats and call them all sorts of names because of it including little clansmen. Who is influencing whom aside, their views are prolific as ____ apparent. And you've got a potentially terminal case of them given how deeply it seems to be rooted.

It is hard not to see this as just you being the sort of person who cannot recognize racism as anything other than belonging to the Klan or using the n-word. Therefore, accusations of racist behavior become equivalent to accusing someone of being in the Klan.

Forgetting how wrong-headed this is for a moment, it leaves one wondering what problem you even have with the common use of Confederate flag symbolism to express Deep South pride or why you’d object to minstrel performances.

Or, alternatively, you seem to have one solution for anything involving racially sensitive issues and it's an elephant gun.

Nazis marching into a BLM demonstration with intent to do violence? Elephant gun!

A handful of kids among a large crowd using a racially insensitive gesture for a few moments? Elephant gun!

Yeah, I wouldn’t describe expecting a person to think what they did is wrong and be contrite about it as an “elephant gun.” That you insist nothing wrong was done and view even mild social disapprobation as an “elephant gun” suggests that you are the one not able to make fine distinctions here.

[_honorentheos]

Oh, I see. Keep insisting I've said nothing wrong was done because I'm sure you can post a quote supporting that. Jesus, you have a hard time with mea culpas.
