Catholic high school students Mock Native American elder

Because it's so much more morally superior to subject kids to death threats.

 

Their attempt to enter the church to try and disrupt the service was this week. And now it is being questioned whether he is even a Vietnam era vet. He claimed he served in Vietnam and the earliest would have been 1973 the last year we were even there, when he would have been 18, but the Marines left in 1971.

And USA Today print edition actually has an article on him today wondering if the students will apologize to him. Not once do they mention the truth about what happen but posted this

"Many social media users interpreted, and Philips maintains, that the students were harassing him. In the viral video clips, Sandmann a junior, is seen standing face to face with Philips, smiling, as Philips calmly beats a drum and chants a prayer."
What a total misrepresentation and lie by omission.

Why aren't they going after the racist black activist that attacked these children with their vile screaming and hollering when all the kids were trying to do was take our Capital and all the sights?

 

I see my valid counterpoint about the similarity between the LW lynch mob's treatment of those Catholic kids and the UVA frat boys who were falsely accused of rape flew right over your head.

Are you clear now or do I need to spell it out in crayon?

 

That's a strangely evil statement. I'm glad you're not making it on my behalf.

 

I vote crayon. The big box with the sharpener.

 

I am exactly saying that you are misdirecting your venom.

 

Why are MAGA hats so inflammatory but an Obama hat would be no big deal? Why are people free to put an I'm with her sticker on their car but if they put a Trump/Pence there's a good chance they'll get keyed or worse? Why did the media go crazy over a kid just standing there but totally ignored the black dudes who were calling them crackers and the black kid in their group the n-word?

 

In all that, trying to reach the "white privilege" fallacy and the "racism against whites is not the same," here's where you went astray.

1. As a matter of irrefutable historical fact, political power is controlled by individuals and small groups of elites as against the broader mass of common people. The "eliteness" and "commonness" are the operative characteristics in that hierarchy, not race, gender or religion. That history is a story of identity groups against identity groups is lazy and superficial, but is the revisionist fallacy that the Complex, specifically gov-edu and MSM, have fabricated in setting up the narratives that grow and enrich it.

In what way was the rank and file impressed Spanish Navy low ranking sailor's life better than the indigenous peoples' lives of Central America they conquered? It wasn't much, possibly far worse. In what way was the white male heretic's life on the rack in the dungeon better than the white female being burned as a witch? It wasn't, and there were FAR more of the former. The white sharecropper of the "House on the Hill" may have not been enslaved, but he and his family did not live a measurably better life than the African slaves working 30 yards away. Yet in gov-edu and MSM, it's always enslaved blacks, Scarlett O Hara and Rhett Butler regardless of epoch portrayed. It's all Caesars and their immediate, powerful underlings, almost never the people at large.

This fallacy is purposefully perpetuated in entertainment, culture, even education by avoiding near utterly the stark reality of average white (or any other historical) common life. For example, here's a "real" version of a Jane Austen novel. "Peasant Siobhan married Peasant Tom when they were both 15 because they were of age. There were no estates, thousands of pounds of income per year, or social conventions whatsoever, but there were more fields to work on the Lord's behalf as the village Reeve instructed them, and that required more young to accomplish. Siobhan died at 21 birthing their second child and Tom died at 24 in a Norman raid. THE END.

SO goeth the abominable lie of "white privilege fantasy land throughout history."

2. There are no "normal conventions" of civilization. Any conventions a civilization has are based in long tradition that leads to either rule of men or rule of law. This is important because taking the painstaking, complex process of instituting rule of law for granted leads to decline into injustice that we are on the brink of in the West today. Civilization doesn't come with some set of normal conventions, and this is why Marxist/socialism cannot ever work, the revolution leaves a vacuum that cannot fill with any "normal conventions of civilization" because in a vacuum those conventions are what the strongman says they are, and are totally for the benefit of the strongman and his cadre. We have MANY datapoints.

3. Racism is only partially subject to degrees, and those degrees are conditioned on EFFECTS, not the races of those committing it, so it's also a fallacy to claim one form of it is a "billion times worse" than another. When white people tell an ethnic joke among themselves, it does not become worse than adults screaming racism directly in children's faces merely because of the joke-tellers' "whiteness."

 

I don't have venom. Have you checked inside your pants?

 

Phillip's deserves to be mocked, for being a first class pus rocket.

 

How do you feel they were not wise in this instance?

 

The Left considers slogans, placards, and their degree of propaganda power its sole domain, and any infringement on that can be remedied in any way available, legal or not. Opposition having an effective political slogan or Tshirt that could catch on and be effective in drawing votes is unacceptable and must be stamped out. All the racism nonsense is concocted around that. If the GEICO gecko were a mascot of the GOP, it would instantly become racist and verboten.

 

The fault lies, in order:

1. Whoever produced and distributed the Fake News video.

2. Fake News commentators who whipped up the frenzy.

3. Celebrities who fanned the flames.

4. Nutjobs who got triggered.

5. The abusive adults.

6. The kids' chaperones.

7. The kids.

 

Yes, you can. Stop any anti-administration posts immediately, and if you really feel you have no power to influence anybody, stop posting altogether.

 

If the media makes up a story this egregious and falsifiable just think what they do with unnamed sources.

 

It takes a big person to admit an error on their part. As far as I'm concerned it gives you more credibility in the future and I'm more likely to listen to you over other people. You honestly have no idea how much I appreciate this kind of honesty.

 

When you gather a crowd who respond to provocation with racist taunts? Yes.

"You people?" So, you don't know me, but your keen mind has already put me in a box? Well, add this to your box... I've never voted for or supported a Democrat in my life. I ran a business and then taught business subjects and economics to high school students and adults. I support a strong defense. I support medical and school vouchers. There's more, but I trust your box sides have fallen off.

Let's say you're a parent of the little twit who thought it would be cute to go face-to-face with the assh*le agitator who targeted the kids wearing MAGA hats. His life has been impacted short term, perhaps even long-term, because of his choice.

I led high school trips for many years as the sponsor of student government. In that situstion, I would have prepared students for being confronted if they chose to wear any clothing that might make them a target. I say "they chose" because I would not presume to stop them from wearing message clothing like a MAGA hat. I would have taught them how to deal with guys like the Native American agitator and the racist blacks that had been acting out in their faces for some time.

Rather than have the students leave as the only choice, partly because turning away might also encourage the agressors to chase them, I might lead them away (I wouldn't be a chaperone that stood there and did nothing) and chant at the black agitators, "The world is watching!" I would have done the same thing to the Native American guy at the same time asked the kid not to stare at the guy.

If the kids were chanting, "The world is watching!" it is unlikely they would be caught on camera mocking his drumming or doing tomahawk chops.

Would you as a parent want me to help them express your values (presumably theirs because you're the parent, not me) and hold them safe from being portrayed as bigots? I doubt their parents would want them to go on a political trip they okayed and then not participate as young citizens. What would they be learning as young adults if we teach them to cower in the face of political bullies?

Because the little jerk thought it would be cute to go eyeball-to-eyeball with the guy, that old goat got his "mission accomplished" badge and a lot of kids were caught on camera making racist gestures. He's a bag of dirt going nowhere in life and those kids have most of their lives ahead of them. What if something had happened and a few of the kids have roughed up the old guy or the black bigots? Thank goodness they didn't give them what they probably wanted.

Instead of creating a narrative where the black bigots and Native American agitator were exposed for what they are, the dumb kid grandstanding for his friends created a media controversy.

BTW, the kid is no leader among his peers--he was "woofing" in what he likely thought was for him a safe situation. The smirk was, I bet, his sense of self-satisfaction.

 

It has been my experience that Christians hate Islam but not Muslims. Hating a philosophy you find destructive is not bigotry.

 

^ donks live a lie.

 

No, I said you are part of the problem. It goes without saying both political parties are making things worse.

 

Tours in Viet Nam? Total BS. What is your basis for this BS claim?

 

Donald J. Trump (see above) is a bag-of-dirt trying to exploit the dumb kid getting suckered by the Native American guy and shouting racist blacks into a smirking eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation. Ilhan Omar (see above) is a dishonest jerk propagandizing with lies.

 

You have captured the essence of this matter.

 

Sarcasm...

 

Sorry. Haven't had my coffee yet and it is past noon.
