7) The students are seen visibly laughing as Phillips approached. They were not threatened in ANY way by him.

16) “…I would caution everyone passing judgement based on a few seconds of video to watch the longer video clips.” I’ve watched all the clips. It doesn’t change the fact you stared this man down like he was a joke. With your students hysterically laughing and tomahawking at him.

17) You can clearly hear a student say, “Land gets stolen. That’s how it works. It’s the way of the world.” That is not appropriate. That is not respect. That is pure white privilege.

18) Getting the opportunity to say you did nothing wrong and having outlets print your statement IN FULL without any context (
@cnn) is white privilege. Had you been a group of black teens who did this, would the response have been the same?Show this thread -
19) Nothing in the student’s entire statement recognized the indigenous struggle or that an apology is due. It was a legal statement as per the account of a high school student & likely written by an attorney. The statement is a whitewashing of the incident that occurred.

20) In wearing a MAGA hat in public, you must own the responsibility that comes with it. For many, it represents violence, hatred, misogyny, and more. You have the freedom to wear it. That is your choice. But know that hat is seen by many as a threat to their very existence.

22) Many have responded to me saying that celebrities and journalists have called for the death of the students. I have yet to see those tweets. Please send them to me. AGAIN, I believe doxxing/threatening kids is wrong. Some exceptions: Ethan Couch, baby Hitler, Dylann Roof...

23) Watching and reading journalists/outlets succumb to the right wing narrative of this is no surprise. The full video does little to change the fact that this was exactly as it seemed - white students jeered, tomahawked, and mocked an indigenous elder. <END OF THREAD>

That is actually true what he said.. It is not about his being white.. It is fact of what has happened all over the world in every race it seems. Grabbing land for the self that was others peoples land is seen through out history of people after people after people.
