      You should read this @laurawags essay. We’ve had two years with Trump, and too many folks are still unwilling to call out racist bullying. On video! If you need to experience this to recognize it, we are in trouble. http://deadsp.in/CZdFhzn

      “I see a frothing mass of MAGA youth—who, since we’re taking in all angles here, go to a school where students fairly recently wore blackface to a basketball game—frenzied and yelling and out of control.”

          Translation: Students waiting for a bus and they're being shouted at. They decided to be kids and yell (not racist slurs). They didn't go 'blackface' it's called a blackout game and sometimes white out or blue out. It's a full body paint and has nothing to do with skin colour.

          The black Israelites were shouting horrible insults like incest babies, called them school shooters and demons. Nathan Philips walked up to the students and was banging a drum in the face of a student. The boy stays silent and said nothing to "diffuse the situation".

          There was no smugness just kids beings kids. No evidence that it was to attack the vulnerable. They did not stare at N.Phillip with "contempt" they were just confused as a strange man just started beating a drum at students who were already hyped up (not violent).

          I don't see how you can watch this and think otherwise unless you willing to sacrifice the lives of innocent students to a far-left mob (threatening death) simply because you see them as "white" and "privileged" and should therefore be punished for it regardless of the facts.

          Always lies! So predictable Reza. It was a black out game and the paint had no connection to black face. You're a fraud. You should instead take this opportunity to reflect on yourself and admit fault in your reckless words and grow.

          I see 2 other videos from the periphery that help to define the group, 1 in which a classmate states to some girls "It's not rape if she enjoys it" and another where a group from the larger video cat-call some women passing by ending by calling them "slut" when they're rebuffed.
