Everyone in this video should be whipped with a belt

[Mayne]

Sickening.

 

[IronWing]

That is quite the collection of punchable faces.

 

[Mayne]

especially in your face dude. I want to smash that face so bad.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Reminds me of why I hated public schools. Teens in general are just assholes. Then you throw in the Trump effect and the stupidity is multiplied. Half those kids probably don't even know the indians were here before iphones.

 

[lxskllr]

No idea what the context is, but maga boy would have gotten a knee in his nuts if he stayed that long in my face.

 

[Mayne]

its not the craziest video...that fucker in that guy's face just bothering me a lot.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Maybe it is just me but the dude playing the drum wasn't exactly backing away. Honestly skipping through I couldn't tell who the initial dicks were.

Playing a drum repeatedly towards someones face isnt exactly showing signs of being nice either?

Either way some prepubescent teens with maga hats acting retarded. Yep, seems like gradeschool twats.

 

[Thebobo]

Give those teens some alcohol!

Are you always so ignorant? The American Indians were their first and these hoodelums wanted to provoke a fight!
Of course you probably did not watch the vidio! You just let your ignorance take over....lol

Sad but probably true. If that's the case, hope they get a kick to the life like their little shithead is going to.

Hope he has fun being the poster dickhead for racist assholes for decades.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Phillips_(activist)
Phillips served in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War.[1][2] The New York Times identified Phillips as a former Director of the Native Youth Alliance, a group that works to ensure that traditional culture and spiritual ways are upheld for future generations of Native Americans,[1] and that he leads an annual ceremony honoring Native American war veterans in Arlington National Cemetery.[1] The Guardian called him, "a well-known Native American activist who was among those leading the Standing Rock protests in 2016-2017 against the construction of an oil pipeline in North Dakota".[3]

Philips received national attention in America after participating in the Indigenous Peoples' March in Washington, D.C. in January 2019, when he was harassed by a group of high school students.[4][5][6][1] Phillips had been in the news in 2015 when a group of college students from Eastern Michigan University racially harassed him.[7]

In a January 2019 article in Indian Country Today', Phillips was described as a "keeper of a sacred pipe" and holds an annual ceremony honoring Native American veterans at Arlington National Cemetery.[8][Notes 1][7] Another January 2019 article in the Washington Post described Phillips as a "a veteran in the indigenous rights movement".[9] Phillips is the subject of the award-winning 2013 documentary film Between Earth and Sky in which he and his wife Shoshana, travel back to his Omaha reservation after his wife was diagnosed with bone-marrow cancer (which she died of in 2014

people are saying that the full video gives a bigger picture:

explanation by the guy who posted the full video on reddit:

For context I deeply oppose trump and think he is a swine but regardless of your political leanings I am committed to the truth and I think it's important people see this. This is gonna be controversial for knee jerk reaction reddit but hear me out.

So here’s the almost 2 hour video out that shows the entire thing from start to end. On t_d this video has been edited into clips to make it look like the natives are at fault which I also think is a distortion.

Bottom line though? The popular narrative of what occurred in this confrontation is inaccurate

I encourage you to watch as much of the video as you can to see what goes on from a first hand source but I understand its long. If you watch the video you will see the following:

A group of 5 "black Israelites" (referred to as “black Muslims” by the mom’s statement but I see how she made this mistake I certainly thought they were Muslim at first too) is there well before the natives and they are spouting absolute hatred. These aren’t typical Christians/Jews/Muslims. They are the equivalent of the crazy hate preacher on your college campus. They sit there yelling about homosexuality and the white devil etc etc. They call the two black teenagers the n-word, they call the white ones crackers, and they repeatedly use the term “faggots”....to which the crowd of boys boo’s them emphatically. They also defend their black classmates who the hate preachers call the n word.

The natives then approach. The group of black Israelites eggs on the confrontation. From the video it appears as if the natives are approaching the teens almost looking for conflict because they identify them by their MAGA hats. They don’t appear to be associated with the hate preachers. The native drummer approaches the kids and gets in their face. The kids break out in a “Indian tomahawk chant” the same one the Florida state football team uses. At first it actually looks like they're "joining in" with the drummer but then it seems to morph into jeering the drummer by the end - perhaps as it dawns on them that this is more of a "confrontation" than just a display of drumming. Then the infamous stare down happens. Then the two groups trade jeers for a few minutes before, it seems, the natives sort of realize the actual baffoons in the room are the “black Israelites” aka the hate preachers.

The natives disperse without further conflict. The hate preachers stick around and yell really vitriolic things at the kids.

This whole confrontation is definitely very different from what the headline and now infamous picture would have you believe. If you go off those you’d think the teens approached and surrounded the natives and then harassed them. Simply not the case.

What is most disturbing about this to me is that this really does seem like the media and social media are running with a narrative that at worst is a purposeful distortion of the facts in an attempt to get “dem clicks” and at best a poor representation of the facts spread like wildfire as journalists attempt to get their story out quickly without fact checking and readers re-tweet and parrot talking points from headlines alone.

This is very very bad. Why? Because every time a MAGA hat wearing conspiracy theorist sees the whole video and reasonably comes to the same conclusion I did and compare that to the headlines and highly voted reddit comments it reinforces their notion that everything anti-trump is “fake news”. Then when a reputable journalist reports on how trump committed such and such crime its a boy who cried wolf situation.

In conclusion I will leave you with this quote by Jonathan Swift: "Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it". Please --- remember to think for yourselves and not just see a headline, upvote it because it emotionally reaches you, and spread false information.

honestly i don't know why there wasn't a chaperone there to get the kids out of a situation like that, or prevent it from happening in the first place. maybe there was and they just wouldn't listen? who knows.

It was a private catholic school.

God is their chaperone and a hell of job he did. That school should be so proud to raise people like that.

Making a moronic post like usual. The Native Americans had a permit to March to the Lincoln Memorial, something they do every year and these punks decided to block their way. Get in their faces, chant 'Build the Wall' and do the tomahawk chop to Native Americans. They're as stupid as you.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Quite sickening really. Funny thing is about them supporting Trump is that the conservative party is the last party to even care about young people. Conservatives tend to cater more to older rich folk. That's why conservatives are into big oil/coal and stuff, they could not care less what happens to the planet in 20 years from now.

As a side note I went to catholic school most of my life. Got bulled in grade 7-8. Switched to public when I went to high school. It's night and day, the public system was actually way better, people were nicer, less ego and bullying etc... oddly enough more Christian people too. The catholic system is basically the "default" school everyone goes to and the public is a smaller system, so that probably had more to do with it than the fact it was catholic, but just found that interesting.
