Indigenous Peoples' March Washington, DC

Post Reply New Topic

I love that everyone, in their race to offer sympathy to the poor maligned MAGA hat wearing boy, is ignoring that the whole crowd of kids were yelling over the man's song, chanting that racist "tomahawk chant" that Cleveland Indians fans used to do (and the racist ones apparently still do) and mocking him.

But we're bad for calling out blatant racism when we see it.

Anyone defending the behaviour of these kids really needs to take a good look in the mirror and ask themselves why they need to believe that blatant racism isn't what it obviously is, what your own emotional stake is in believing it's totally OK to mock Native Americans to their faces just for singing a song of peace and coming together. Take a good look at yourselves and re-evaluate your choices that led you to this moment of defending this behaviour.

I'm confused. Can someone show me where those who wear MAGA hats have publicly claimed that their hats symbolize and proclaim their (the hat wearers) belief in white supremacy?

Donald Trump is a racist and a draft-dodger. The MAGA hat is a symbol of his contempt for non-whites and women, since the "Great" America that he wants to have again is the pre-Civil Rights Era America -- the time when women had no reproductive rights, blacks could not vote, and indigenous peoples were denied the rights to education and medical care that were privileges enjoyed only by white Americans.

I'm just disgusted that so much of the story was omitted by the media -- some very important parts! I want to see the media slam the black preacher for his homophobic rant. There's a lot of blame on both sides. Is it too much to ask that we expect honest reporting in this country? I guess so.
