More of us should choose to not walk by.

If this had been a black muslim man in the face of a white catholic priest, the orange bucket of shit would be inviting the priest to the white house and all his bigoted supporters would be on the other side. Because, minorities

BTW, notice that the white privileged pussy got in the face of the old Native American, not the black guys who had words with his group.

Yeah, I'm grumpy this morning

Catch up Spex, the white privileged pussy did not get in the face of the old Native American, it was the other way round.
You're still working off the original video which has proved to be intentionally misleading.

Nope, blue and white, nevermind.
Apparently the school has "black day" and "white day", where the fans will paint themselves black or white. No idea what the significance is, but assuming an innocent explanation for the black paint in general does not justify the minstrel show big white lip paint. And even assuming the kid(s) who did it had no idea, the adults in the room should have told them to go fix it.

My opinion of Sandmann has wavered with the various waves of news, but my opinion of the adults of the school has only gone down, and didn't start high.

So venomous as to not apologize for so many disparaging remarks directed at one who stated clearly, in an adult manner, using only facts, that those WMDs only existed in propaganda - intentional lies.

Almost 5000 American servicemen were killed for no purpose because you (and others also easily played by liars) sent them to their death. When do you apologized for that - act in an adult manner? You still do not. You never apologized - cannot admit that emotions were also responsible for that mistake.

Learn reality. Others have demonstrated Trump like hate promoted by those students. An honest student would never need a PR firm to rewrite his testimony. They even asked permission to chant? Clearly that is not honest. History of that school now demonstrates you are defending people who apparently have a serious extremists (hate) attitude. Same attitude that also said Saddam had WMDs. Same attitude that gets emotional rather than post facts.

So hateful as to post another cheapshot emotions - that I must somehow hate or fear Catholics. So apparently I must hate or fear myself - using emotionally inspired reasoning.

Please return to adult type writing. Discuss facts. Posting nasty insults at another is (and this is a fact; not an insult) is what adults who are still children do. Please return to more adult style writing. Stop acting that the UT who could never even admit Saddam did not have WMDs - even after George Jr admitted he did not. Please stick to facts and stop entertaining henry quirk and other extremist type emotions. Please act like a moderate. Please post more like Happy Monkey who discusses facts without emotions. Extremist resort to cheapshot attacks.

How do you separate what is and is not misleading? They all are only soundbytes of a larger event. So all can be misleading.

What actually happened probably will never be clear. What we do know is that confrontations that get physical usually mean extremists were somehow involved.

This article fully explains how I feel about this incident. Those boys and their school get no pass from me.

I'm OK with the way this went down.
A bunch of guys (didn't see any women or girls) got in each other's faces and made their points.
In spite of insults and adrenaline, nobody threw a punch.
Free speech in the age of ubiquitous video cameras and "social" media.

Well, a few days ago the nation had a rush to instant judgement based on a single image -- and then everyone had to back off because they learned from the bigger picture that they didn't have all the facts. Let us not rush to judgement again.

I think you're looking at the first picture. Look at the pointed, curled ends of the lip makeup on the "blackface" dude. Pointed, curled ends are not standard blackface. They would kind of ruin blackface; they are however standard on "joker face".

Joker face is white with red lips. And enlarging the mouth is in no way incompatible with minstrel show makeup.
