      I'm genuinely puzzled by the claim here that whooping up a tomahawk chant at a Native man (who was only trying to defuse the situation) could have been an act of "solidarity." https://twitter.com/robbysoave/status/1087087949538316288 …

      In police academy did they also tell you it's okay to do a tomahawk chant when you meet a Native?

      No, he didn't lie. There is video showing Native group approaching Black Israelite telling them to stop shouting at people. It's pathological how you're not willing to see what the Covington group did that was wrong.

      Why does the bad behaviour of the Black Israelites justify hurling what you admit is racist abuse against a Native man who was trying to defuse the situation?

      Why are you making children responsible for a situation in which adult preachers were taunting them with homophobic slurs & then adults went up & drummed at them without any explanation?

      Because that's not what happened.

          It is what happened. Phillips falsely claims the kids were harassing the Black Hebrews. He claims that these "beasts" were threatening their prey--the kids were threatening the adults that had been jeering at them for an hour. It's deranged lunacy. He meant to shut the kids up.

          Hi @heerjeet still waiting on your outrage and condemnation of how this veteran was treated by a young kavanaugh protestor. Should he hold his breath and wait for you to call him an hero? I’d guess not. YOU are the bigot here, Mr. Heerpic.twitter.com/7iYjtKmCKB

          It is what happened. The Black Hebrew Israelites taunted the boys with homophobic slurs & then without explanation a man walked up to the boys, drumming at them.

          A set-up by those tricky people of color, evidently, against innocent white children, who are ... oh, high school students? (BTW, one of the most fascinating things about these cases is how fast white adolescents become ‘children’... a status not extended to black or brown kids)

          Amusing to see the right try to convince ppl that young white men wearing maga hats, ridiculing Native American chants and dances, + chanting "build the wall" are not racists. Especially since their own high school condemned their axns + boy's mom went on a racist tirade
