    Phillips/Sandmann controversy

    I might have missed it but I haven't seen any discussion of the incident at the capital. Where do we stand on this? You know the one where the video appears to show a Native American being confronted and stared-down by a "smug, privileged white teen displaying unbridled hatred". The kid was immediately condemned and crucified in the press and social media. The Catholic school that the students attend fell all over themselves apologizing to anyone who might be offended by the students' behavior.

    So a few days pass. More facts and more videos surface and the picture begins to change. We hear that a Black Hebrew group was taunting and heckling the students because they are Catholic. The students began singing school songs to drown-out the Black Hebrew's taunts. The Indigenous Peoples March enters the scene banging their drums and getting in the face of the students, not the other way around as was widely reported.

    I figure the truth really won't matter. It really just comes down to skin color and MAGA hats

    Temple...

    In all honesty, why do you think this is still taking up so much internet bandwidth, with so few retractions or apologies...

    Nothing like a native american banging a war drum in front of a teenage boy to try to make a point...those kids did nothing wrong, but media wants to paint them as racists. World we live in now...fake news gonna end up killing someone thats done nothing wrong.

    I agree that the subject matter can easily turn political but in this case there are already a number of articles talking about how there was probably a rush to judgement that was based on the fact that the kids were predominately white and several were wearing MAGA hats. And given those two facts, there will be a large percentage of people who already made up their minds and don't want to be confused but the facts (kinda like football threads on here).

    A lot and I mean a lot was not reported correctly... Phillips was the instigator... The Black Hebrew Israelite's were off the charts... The high school kids were the real victims... Watch the whole video... Dan

    Truth is truth

    Of course, that's what you and I, and most of America, believe, Brian.



    However, there are believers that truth is perception.

    In this case, believers of truth is perception, have decided again to attempt to create a truth, by lying.

    I only hope that this is an effective example that exposes the media for what they are, because it's sickening to know what grown adults have attempted to do to these kids.

    The kids were actually the adults in the situation...Phillips has apparently been involved in other situations and is somewhat (from what I understand) a stolen valor person, was in the marines but tries to have people believe he served in Nam but did not. was not really interested enough to really research, an adult that gets in a kids face or very derogatory name calling by adults trying to cause a situation does not deserve my time. Have heard that there may be some lawsuits involved and IMHO they collect some big bucks..not sure I could have remained as calm as the young man did.

    Algore approves of this.

    I'm thinking sooner than that...like in a little less than 2 years.

    The media is absolutely responsible for anything that happens to those boys. The guy beating the drum in the kid's face needs his ass beat. He instigated the whole thing. This isnt political, its right vs wrong. What the guy did was wrong and how the kid stayed composed was the right thing to do. The media is back tracking now just like they have to with most stories they write.

    Why do you folks worry yourselves over fools?

    As my dear departed Granma used to say long before social media and the Kardashians;

    "fools names and fools faces are often seen in public places.
