      Parts of the media still stubbornly trying to "advance" the Covington Catholic story with tendentious accusations, days after the initial impressions proved inaccurate: are you really surprised that large portions of the country regard you as "enemies" or "fake"? Really?

      I hope anyone reading this gets just as angry on behalf of kids of color who might be similarly situated — but yes, these attempts to “advance” the narrative do seem pretty weak. I.e.https://www.gq.com/story/maga-teens-defense-native-american-veteran …

      I agree that a lot of the right-wing defense of these kids won't get applied to other demographic groups, but that's no excuse for shabby thinking and reporting as it relates to this situation.

          Exactly. I keep seeing folks saying "If this was a mostly black criowd of kids they wouldn't be given the benefit of the doubt!" That's true. It's also horribly wrong, and must be changed. racist Ill-treatment of one group of people doesn't justify Ill treatment of another.

          It can’t be applied to them. The left only accuses whites of racism. In fact, according to them, it’s not even possible for anyone else to BE racist.

          Could you provide an example of a group of minority teens who were vilified because of a video clip taken out of context? In the past 20 years.

          Maybe this is the best way to have kids of color more defended in the future... Refer to this incident.
