I still don't understand how these numpties are going to the White House AND are the victims in some circles.
It doesn't matter anymore. They got a PR firm to help their image. The statements from a reporter covering the Native American march and others who saw the incident and were unaffiliated to any of the parties didn't matter. The easiest way to actually see what happened in the student group is for the students to release the videos they were taking on their phones. (If this is actually what people wanted). It would have easily exonerated them for what they were saying/supposedly doing. A lot of them had phones shooting video. We are never going to see that and it is usually the easiest way to disprove something. They are basically the equivalent of cops with a bodycam being accused of something and deciding not to show bodycam footage that would easily exonerate them. That being said, I don't think any lawyer would allow those videos to surface. * Is the attached video actually Covington Students or just kids from Cincinnati?
Gonna give y'all some media/PR game: - They filmed him from above to make him look smaller.- His clothes are a little big.- The lighting makes his face look like Shirley Temple.Malcolm said the media will make you hate the oppressed and love the oppressor. Peep game. https://t.co/BBynd47W6x— Torraine Walker (@TorraineWalker) January 23, 2019 So much blush
Why? It is a 6 second clip that I know nothing about. Here's the only thing I can take from it... high school kids do say stupid things sometimes.
REPUBLICANS: They’re just kids. Think of the children.“You mean like the children you took from their parents and LOCKED in cages? You mean like the ones shot for holding a toy or a bag of candy?”REPUBLICANS: No not them. The white ones.— Mikel Jollett (@Mikel_Jollett) January 22, 2019
Did you miss the post about his party being the second largest among the Surinam people, the same people fighting racist Zwarte Piet? Or does it not fit the narrative. To keep things clear, I'm against Wilders and his party and his ideas. It doesnot help however when people, especially from abroad, labelling him and his party with false signatures.
The wildest part of this is still that the story changes because they were "approached". They are basically using the Aqib Talib playbook of "I snatched the chain because he put the chain in my face. " The second most absurd is that the first statement from the "accused" came from a mother who put the blame on "black muslims" and no one batted an eye. At the beginning, I thought it was a bunch of kids acting idiotic and following the current "culture" a group of people. I thought they would get a slap on the wrist, apologize, and move on. I was uncomfortable with the active search to find identities because eventually it would come out through verified media. Now, it's the "he stepped to us so we stepped to him" like this is West Side Story. Why would he think that Native Americans and the black israelites were joining forces? Is it because they were not white? Isn't that a problem?
As I posted: The neighbourhood I grew up in was built in 1954. It was the time when, after the WWII and the German bombing, housing was in a big shortness of supply. So much that along the dike in my neighbourhood young couples lived in temporary make shift housing in railway carriages. The neighbourhood consisted of blue collar workers in majority. Those Surinam friends of my parents actually were compared to the rest upper class/upper class income. We were blue collar family too. In our hood there were apart from Surinam people, also people from the former Dutch Indies colony. Of those several were married to white women too. A friend of mine from such a family was white and blond, while his younger sister was milk choclate brown with black hair. There was no segregation in housing, no segregation in the schools and no segregation in marriages. The marriages of the Surinam friends of my parents must have been from around 1930 - 1940 or so, given the age of their children at that time. (There were more Surinam people in the hood, but not within the circle of friends) In fact, the first time I learned about racism, I think I posted it in here some time ago already, was in the sixties as a kid of about 11 years old and it was from the States. On the news there was an item about New York, where white people were demonstrating and picketing in protest and in an attempt to prevent a black teacher to get a house in their neighbourhood. The most baffling thing to me was the old Jewish woman, who found it terrible that after she escaped alive from German extermination camp to have to deal with this, a black family in her hood. That was new to me and in complete contrast to my own environment. It made such an impact on me that up to this day I remember it. So this is the environment I lived in in 1950ies, the time where black men were lynched in the States when accused by a white woman of looking at her or bumping against her, with coloured people married with white women in a non segregated environment. And this was the same all over the Netherlands. By the way, as this is a soccer board, the youngest son of that Surinam family of the retired marine officer later became the first non Japanese coach of the Japan national team. He was quite popular in my hood as he was a player for a time for Feyenoord.
I remember Sikhs being persecuted and killed by Americans because they were thought to be Muslims. I thought at the time that the ignorance and stupidity was aberrant but it seems now to be closer to universal. You'd think the 6 pointed star that the black muslims sport might have clued you in that they were not muslim.
The idea that people identifying with Israel could be considered "Muslim" is laughable, if it weren't such a sad indictment of the mentality of Whitelandia. Just like the guy in Kansas who murdered a Hindu Indian man because he wanted all the Muslims to go back to Eye-ran. EDIT: Song just beat me to it.
Most media have come around and issued corrections or apologies, it is social media that continues to drive the initial narrative. the Black Hebrew Israelites are a hate organization, everyone knows that except the high school dudes it seems. real media has noted their participation. Like I said before, no good people in the story, the BHI are racist assholes, Phillips should have not gotten to the face of a high school kid, and the catholic school kids should have not engaged in racist chants against the Native American group. Then there are the chaperones, they really fvcked up.
The mom referred to them as black muslims? Where did you see that? I hadn't seen that. That's pretty ignorant, if so.
I saw it too. It was the first counternarrative out there, that the BHI people were very verbally abusive to the Covington boys.
