I don't know his motivation, but I also don't know what his view of the situation was. The schoolboys were the largest group, jumping up and down and chanting, and wearing visible MAGA hats; at the point he noticed what was happening, he might not have heard what the BHI loonies were saying.

Although, I didn't watch the 2 hr. video, it appears that the Black Hebrew Israelites* kicked this whole thing off.



*fun fact. There seems to be quite a few of these movements featuring Black Israelites in their name (think Judean's Peoples Front etc.) anybody know where specifically they are from?

In any given conflict between N number of participants it is not necessary that any one of N be 'the good one' that merits defense or sympathy. You don't even have to select the lesser evil of N and support them. It's not required.

His motivation is changing. First he said they approached and surrounded him. After that failed, he claimed he was playing "peace maker" Then he said that the kids were the beasts and the actual hate group that was calling his group demons were the "prey."

Race grifting means people creating or exaggerating claims of racism in order to promote themselves or their causes or to demonize anyone they perceive as an opponent, or as here, an easy target like a pack of high school kids.

LoL nice white wash there TBD. They were there supporting an extremely controversial topic, like abortion, and took part in mockery as well. I don't understand why you can't just take a step back and admit they played a role.

Instead you're making them out to be some unaware, lost little children. Wasn't the guy in the MAGA hat 18? He is under 18. I just did some quick research, my fault.

Their role was to play the patsy in a racial grift.

(Abortion had nothing to do with this incident, although I am certain that the Black Hebrews would gladly agree to sterilize all the other participants. protip: In addition to being homophobic and racist, they were wildly misogynist too)

You couldn't have been clearer. Madness.
No one here, absolutely no one, has given one word of support to what the Black Israelites said. Yet you claim:

Quote:
The group indulging in by far the worst hatred is practically ignored, whilst the group which exhibits little to none of that behaviour is vilified across half the Western world. Of course! It all makes sense. Just like if the school kids had been black and had stared at a Native American, and the Israelites had been white and shouting racist epithets and homophobic taunts and threatening violence, you would have course not have condemned the whites because their vile behaviour would have been too obvious!
What the BI said didn't need to be pointed out as being vile, racist and misogynistic for the very fact that it was so freaking obvious to anyone with half a brain. What they said was not a point of contention or disagreement by anyone in this group. But, of course, you need to make it one so you can attack those who did criticize (or 'attack' as you put it) the 'whites'. Give me a freaking break.

Have a nice day.

Ok...thank you for that information. I don't know why you're providing it to me as I have no desire to defend whoever they are and much like Varwoche, I didn't know of their existence until now.

Their role wasn't to do that and this is getting foolish. Their role, by their own admission, was to participate in an anti-abortion protest. They've openly stated that on more than one occasion, including the gentleman in the hat.

This is where they ended up. In the midst of a stupidity party that was escalated at every turn, by every moron involved, and somehow escaped violence. That's encouraging, I guess.

You've just made the exact same argument again. It was absurd the first time and it's just as absurd the second. If you feel moved to restate it yet again I guarantee its absurdity factor will not decrease by one iota. It's nonsense, it's a crock, it's a big block of pig faeces and repetition will not improve its status.

Seems like the "peacemaker" was looking to make "peace' with other people wearing MAGA hats

Terrified 15 year old girls do not make for good viral content tho.

What you need, you see, is a big group of high school "beasts' so you can stand sadly in front of the camera while a single sad tear runs down your sad face.

That is viral content!

More video of the high school boy's "prey."

Very NSFW racist hate speech

Remember, the "Elder" called the high school boys the beasts, and these men their "prey."

And then a single tear streamed down his face, and the death threats against the boys ramped up.

Race Grifting 101.

Just before a single sad tear streamed down the sad face of the man who called the high school kids beasts (and was tweeted about by Elizabeth warren)

one of his followers said:

"You white people go back to Europe, this is not your land"

Look at him pound that drum in that kid's face

Remember tho, that the kids are "brats" and "beasts," not the hate group, and not the race grifter.

But those boys mocked him! OK, he's a cadaverous, racist, passive-aggressive liar and likely stolen valour to boot, but that's no reason to mock him.

lol, what does that even mean?

protip: she was not replying to me at all.

Anything about the numerous substantive posts/links/facts I posted in this thread?

You know, about the race grifter, the rush to judgment, the doxxing, the actual hate group, the threats?

Bull ****. There is zero evidence the chanting and chopping these high schoolers were doing was inspired by bigotry or racism, you are completely making that up. What you're doing is taking something that somebody possibly in the past has done out of racism or bigotry and assigning the meaning to these high schoolers. Prejudice based on skin color and political affiliation is a form of bigotry itself.

Here is the prey that the left's new hero was talking about:

Better audio

Look at those beasts standing up for homosexuals being attacked by this hate group.

But they are the beasts, and brats. I read it on iSkep!

wow, that **** bag just keeps doubling down, doesn't he? He is retweeting posts doxxing high school kids.

He also claims that he heard them say "build that wall" which is a lie from the Race grifter.

Sandmann's statement; Thoughtful analysis at Reason

[quote=Stacyhs;12571835
What the BI said didn't need to be pointed out as being vile, racist and misogynistic...[/QUOTE]
Agreed; they remind me a little bit of Fred Phelps' church: a small bunch of crazies who get more attention than they merit.

Mr. Sandmann's statement was provided to CNN. Robby Soave's analysis at Reason here. "It was at this moment that Phillips, who had attended a nearby peace protest led by indigenous peoples, decided to intervene. He would later tell The Detroit Free Press that the teenagers 'were in the process of attacking these four black individuals' and he decided to attempt to de-escalate the situation. He seems profoundly mistaken: The video footage taken by the black nationalists shows no evidence the white teenagers had any intention of attacking. Nevertheless, Phillips characterized the kids as 'beasts' and the hate-group members as 'their prey...'" I was grateful for Mr. Soave's use of the word "mistaken" here. He may be onto something...

BREAKING: Covington Catholic High School says they’ve been forced to work closely with local police and authorities to make sure that the staff and students are safe following serious death threats made against several students, their families and the schools principal.

....

MORE: Two police cars are stationed outside the Covington Catholic High School building, patrolling the area due to extreme threats made against the school and its staff and students. Protests have been planned for tomorrow. All students expected to stay home.

This thread has lived out it's usefulness.

I'll call it here. TBD will continue this thread as long as possible. Finding every single piece of news he can find (like the Hillary thread) to continue this pearl clutching. Nevermind the fact this happens so much on the right that most have just stopped paying attention.

I was willing to admit that the left made a mistake but the people on the right that are straight up crying in this thread is getting to reach epic hypocrisy.

Good luck to people that bother with this anymore. I can't imagine pissing away more time watching the right stamp their feet over this interaction.

I'm ******* shocked you didn't post the pic of that school, in black face screaming at a black guy throwing the ball out from the sidelines.

I'll see if I can find you some more pearls.

I'll call it here. TBD will continue this thread as long as possible. Finding every single piece of news he can find (like the Hillary thread) to continue this pearl clutching. Nevermind the fact this happens so much on the right that most have just stopped paying attention.

I was willing to admit that the left made a mistake but the people on the right that are straight up crying in this thread is getting to reach epic hypocrisy.

Huh, yet I continue to see people who have bought into this threatening these kids.

Oh well, thanks for announcing your dramatic departure.

I will be here posting on the actual developments arising out of this race scam .

Bye-eee!

Just like saying Black Lives Matter isn't explicitly racist but it insinuates that other lives don't matter, which sounds racist to me.

Or saying God Bless America isn't explicitly racist but the insinuation is that you don't want God to bless any other country, including all the countries in Africa, which sounds racist to me.

Or saying that the Police are here "to protect and serve" isn't racist but when Police "protect and serve" black neighborhoods, the implication is that black people need constant supervision and are incapable of surviving without the intervention of the benevolent hand of the white man. That sounds pretty racist to me.

Or the Nike slogan, "just do it" isn't explicitly racist but it insinuates that black people are too lazy to do anything unless they are told to do it. That sounds pretty racist to me.

See, if you want to, you can read racism into anything.

"Make America Great Again" means just that. If you think that it means that America isn't as great as it once was and that it's because of all these immigrants, you're the one who has the problem with immigration. I see that slogan as a call to return to the pre-1906 United States, when heroin was legal and federal income tax was not.

I thought you left?

Yeah I saw that race grift too.

It was a "black out" very popular in high schools that took place before any kid who went on the trip went to that school. It wasn't black face and it is yet another scam perpetrated by race grifters and repeated here by people I thought were leaving?

Oh well grifters gonna grift and lie

Anything about the threats of violence
