Not judging by skin color, but by character content. And I’ve known Trump’s character since the 1980's. The racism came long before the hat, but since he chose that hat to publicize his “vision,” the “racist” label comes with the package. I know plenty Trump supporters who eschew donning that hat because they only…

They’ve been mentioned in every single article I’ve read about this in the last few days. The reason they don’t get much attention is because while they were the catlyst by which the situation started they ultimately have very little to do with the topic at hand.

No it’s not. I sat across from my rapist and he said to my face “you looked like you enjoyed it” and at that point everything stopped and i was told I wasn’t raped and he got away with it.

Yeah that is not a “goofy grin” that is a “my daddy is a lawyer and I can do what I want to/at you” smirk if I’ve ever seen one.

Me too. On the faces of boys who sexually assaulted women while calling them sluts. On the faces of boys who told me I was going to hell for being pro-choice but who bullied their girlfriends into getting abortions.

Definitely should be defuse.

Look, man, I don’t care about your comments, other than that they are a fascinating revelation into an incredibly odd point of view. Like, real ignorance and circular logic kind of thinking.

Yawn.

Yes! It just clicked for me now. That face of his enraged me irrationally and I get it now. I remember seeing it consistently in middle school and partly through highschool. That “come at me bro...but I know you wont cause you’re too scared” type look that made you feel an inch tall. And that look particularly came…

Sigh...there’s a world of difference between the real situation of this white boy and your strawman argument. It’s a matter of how a society treats a person regarding their behavior versus how the legal world treats them. For this smirking shit, he will face no legal repercussions for his actions. Tomorrow, he will…

reduce the danger or tension in (a difficult situation).

Okay, so let’s say we initially “misread” what transpired here. Does that automatically mean we also “misread” Charlottesville or the racist symbolism that fucking red hat represents? Last I checked Halloween was three months ago, so these kids weren’t exactly on an innocent trick-or-treating expedition.

THANK YOU. I looked back at this smug, shit eating grin every year of my childhood. I know what a bully looks like.

If you watch the loooong video, the five BHI men came there to harass the Indigenous Peoples March attendees. They were harassing Native people for an hour before the CCH group even showed up, and were largely either ignored or laughed at for their trouble, because that’s how you deal with a loudmouthed jackass if…

Because just walking away was obviously too hard for these kids to do? 

I’ve lived in NYC for 21 years, and been harassed on the street by the Black Israelites literally hundreds of times in that period. Weirdly, I never felt the urge to do anything other than walk away. Strange how easy that is. 

We would have gotten details of the weed they snuck with them on the trip.

A group of entitled teens goes on a mission to spread their gospel of hate. I really need to know whether they were harassed by someone before spewing hate, or they were rudely interrupted in their attempt to spew hate by a band of people singing and playing drums before I can pass judgment. 

It’s so weird that so many people independently decided that MAGA gear and Trump slogans were a great way to intimidate minorities. It couldn’t possibly that all of those people easily understood the messaging behind those things. I’ve been told that would be an unfair interpretation of the facts. So, clearly, they…

White privilege is the media falling over itself to apologize when it thinks it misread a situation. If these were African-American kids, we never would’ve seen alternate video or explanations.
