If you've been on social media recently, you've probably seen this story of a bunch of kids in "Make America Great Again" hats surrounding a Native American, who was beating on a drum. The narrative that was spun for us was that the kids got in the drummer's face and tried to intimidate him. You guys know that I am a Liberal, and I hate Trump supporters. So when I saw this story, I just assumed it was Trump supporters being assholes as usual. But it actually turns out the media has been misleading us about the whole thing, to manufacture outrage.

Almost all Mexicans are Mestizo, and so are Native Americans.  So you want to simply take them all in as US citizens, on that basis?

Yeah, some MAGA are idiots.  But at least they aren't Marxist college students ;-(  Defund all universities and colleges to starve out the Trotskyites.

Not fake as far as I can tell.  Vietnam veteran, who happens to be Native American.  Wasn't treated with respect?  Certainly, we can solve this by keeping feral teens in cages until they are 21 ;-)  That would also solve the feral Marxist college student problem too ;-))

Vietnam veterans where mocked, perhaps by some people here, back in the day, but for other reasons.  Since when have anyone in the US respected their elders anyway? 

My Lakota neighbor, I understand his ideology.  He has one.  There isn't going to be much more "truth and reconciliation" justice going forward in the US.  We really don't want the post "truth and reconciliation" where the non-Native Americans are threatened with genocide, like non-Xhosa people are known S Africa.  Yes, the Zulus figure they are next after the White colonists who have been there as long as English speakers have been in N America.

The kids were already there. The Native American man got in their faces, banging his drum. The kids were visibly confused by the situation, but started clapping along to the drum beat.

The stories surrounding this try to spin this so the kids surrounded the Native American man, attempting to intimidate him. Even the man himself corroborated this story, but video evidence shows differently.

I think they've made several simpsons episodes on that.

What's sad is because of people reacting to this, some of these kids have been doxxed. Their names are out there. People are trying to pressure the school into having them expelled, for standing there and smiling. They're probably being harassed on social media by the people who found them as well. How's that for irony?

Actually, it seems like neither side were the "bad guys"... rather it was some actual religious nutjobs (Black Hebrew Israelites) that provoked the whole situation by taunting both groups.

If you are actually concerned with the blame being placed where it belongs, then they are the one's to be annoyed at.

If the smarmy little fuck is wearing that stupid fucking hat, he's guilty.

All Trumptards are guilty.
The Christian church, in its attitude toward science, shows the mind of a more or less enlightened man of the Thirteenth Century. It no longer believes that the earth is flat, but it is still convinced that prayer can cure after medicine fails.

Dusty's video mentioned those black guys, but I wasn't sure how they factored into the story. Most don't even mention that group. They're more concerned with the Native American, for some reason. I don't know how this story even made the headlines. Literally nothing happened. Seems the media is just desperate for some new controversy that doesn't involve Trump.
