    At a few days’ remove from the Covington Catholic High School incident at the Lincoln Memorial, we can be reasonably sure there will be no apologies or corrections forthcoming from the major media outlets that rushed to vilify the students involved. The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, and dozens of lesser news organizations that condemned the high schoolers from Kentucky have not retracted or walked back their initial, warped narrative: that racist white teens harassed an elderly Native American man.

    Apparently, if you are white and wear a MAGA hat, you must be racist!

    Although some journalists have recanted at length, and others have apologized and deleted their early, emotionally charged reactions, plenty of others have not and will not. They believe that whatever the video footage actually reveals about the incident— specifically, that the elderly Native American man, Nathan Phillips, approached the kids and initiated a confrontation after they had been harassed by a bizarre racist group called the Black Hebrew Israelites—is irrelevant to what they say is the larger point: that “privileged” white teenage boys who wear MAGA hats are racist bigots and deserve no mercy.

    The White Catholics were being very rowdy, aggressive, abusive to women, disrespectful and thuggish. Typical american youth, no respect for anybody or anything save for their egos.

    The bigotry of the Covington affair belongs to the MAGA clad snot nosed little right wingers who surrounded and tried to intimidate the elderly native American.

    ^ Massive thread win.

    The MAGA crowd loses hugely every time they bring this up.

    But they can't quit it.

    Bigly sad.

    Two wrongs don't make a right. If I understand things correctly The Black Hebrew Israelites were wrong in verbally attacking the students and the Native Americans, but that does not justify the reaction of the students to the Native Americans. As for who is to blame, blame rests with the people involved not the left or the right. I also think that some blame also rests with anyone who tries to use this to further divide this country.

    There was only one wrong, committed by The White Catholics who decided to mock the elders at the rally first, before any heated confrontation began.

    In my opinion there were two wrongs one by the Black adults and one by by the school kids.

    They mocked him tomahawk chops and all.
    Actually I think I've changed my mind. I think the chaperones of the kids were responsible than the kids the kids were showing off the adults let them.

    They "mocked" him? He came over to them pounding his stupid drum right up in that one kid's face. If he had tried that when I was 16, I would have grabbed his stupid drum, threw it like a frisbee and said "Go fetch Tonto."

    Kids these days are just too nice.

    Wrong. The old men confronted the boys and tried to scare them. The boys stood there silently and respectfully.

    Do some research before launching crazy opinions.

    Dude, do you really think you're going to get an intellectually honest answer from a lefty? Sirius Black is complaining about them throwing tomahawk chops, despite there being nothing in the video that could possibly be called a "tomahawk chop" or even if it did happen, so what?

    We're not dealing with people who have a firm grasp on reality.

    America just needs to ban MAGA Hats like Germany has banned the Swastika.

    Problem solved.

    The kid might've gotten more sympathy if he was wearing a White Hood.

    Should we ban the democrat party? They were responsible for the KKK and Jim Crow. WTF has a hat ever done?

    You want to ban a campaign hat that the sitting President used for his campaign?

    That's like some idiot republican saying there's going to be a problem until every Clinton "I'm with her" piece of merch has been deemed illegal.

    Honestly, I think you lefties have gone completely insane.

    Just to show you what a great guy that I am.

    The King Solomon of my generation. I have an idea.

    If MAGA Hats are banned (like Swatsikas in Germany) Trump can have $2.85 Billion for his wall.

    I will give him half of the $5.7B, if he reopens Gov't and bans MAGA Hats.

    King Solomon in the house.:flagus:

    Win/Win all the way around.:salute:

    Dude, they're just campaign hats. Stop being weird.

    As for your suggestion of half of what he wants, piss off.

    Either give us the wall, or your welfare rats start to starve. It's that simple.

    Did morality change?
    Am I just naive in thinking an apology is necessary when your wrong?
    Maybe it's just the hat and the political affiliation, still no excuse.

    Except that it didn't actually happen that way. Why do you THINK that so many nominally White hating leftist journalists and their Hollywood crowd buddies are breaking their own ankles hastily walking back their hate-filled and bigoted initial responses?

    The giftless grinners have obviously been abused by their talebanesqe religious education and they'll grow up to become rapey Bretts. I presume some of them are fine people.

    SAD!

    The old men confronted the boys, not vice versa.

    Minorities think they can get away with anything and still have whites be the bad guy.
