    I've been watching videos all day. I have one thing to say (in a bunch of tweets, so hold on): The videos BACK UP/STRENGTHEN Mr. Nathan Phillips' account of what happened toward the conclusion of the #IndigenousPeoplesMarch on Saturday. They also reveal how it all happened. 1/

        1. I attended the #IndigenousPeoplesMarch from 8:30am-1pm. We started on the stairs of the Department of Interior and marched to Lincoln Memorial. The spirit was peaceful. The call was for indigenous people and allies to receive the wisdom of the elders/remember who we are. 2/pic.twitter.com/IcaPYaQrbD

        Before you watch, a quick note about the street preaching tactics of the Black Hebrew sect. There is a long lineage of Hebrew people who originate from Africa. For more info on those branches of the Hebrew and Christian faiths, you can check out my friend, @PropheticWhirl 5/

        Black Hebrew member's video shows the group grow as Phillips said. Then everything EVERYTHING TURNS ugly at 1:09:51 when a boy jumps to the front, takes off shirt, crowd roars, leads school war chant that ends with them doing war cry to the Hebrews. 9/https://youtu.be/t3EC1_gcr34

        In Shar Yaqataz Banyamyan's video Phillps does exactly that. He walks between the Black Hebrews and the crowd. Most telling is the Hebrews response. They were grateful: See 1:12:32 in video:https://youtu.be/t3EC1_gcr34

        Then at 1:17:57 boys chant again—looks like in response to Phillips. Feels violent. Hebrews start taunting; calling them crackers. Then say: "I don't see no no n*****s in the crowd!” I wonder if they are trying to divert attention now from Phillips? 24/https://youtu.be/t3EC1_gcr34
