Yesterday, in DC, teens wearing their RedHats surround a Native American man drumming and singing. They taunt, whoop, make tomahawk chops, intimidate him.
They’re supposedly from an all boys Catholic School in Kentucky.
What kind of parents raise boys to act like animals to another human being?
The man they are taunting is a Vietnam Vet.
Sadly, they are probably just emulating the behavior they saw their parents display at Trump rallies.
I will disagree.
Prolly not many native Americans in Kentucky, so I don’t think it’s hate.
Just stupidity.

Hatred breeds hatred and Trump has given it a voice…this was sick and sad
Seeing that teen smirking with his RedHat mocking the man to his face for no reason other then to disrespect him left me speechless.
Whether a person is acting like a racist because of hatred within their heart, or they’re acting like a racist because they want to be provocative to elicit a response matters little. They are equally wrong imo.
The reason I think it’s stupidity rather than hatred is that I personally did some really stupid things when I was their age and it had nothing to do with hatred.
Wasn’t there any chaperones along to stop this type of nonsense?

You got in the face of a protesting Native American Vietnam veteran when you were young?
No it was hate, they carried the brand of the RedHat the message is clear, your kind is not welcome here
"A few people in the March for Life crowd began to chant “Build that wall, build that wall,” he said.
“It was getting ugly, and I was thinking: ‘I’ve got to find myself an exit out of this situation and finish my song at the Lincoln Memorial,’ ” Phillips recalled. “I started going that way, and that guy in the hat stood in my way and we were at an impasse. He just blocked my way and wouldn’t allow me to retreat.”
Well, you know. conservative republicans will support “boys will be boys”…
And again, where were the adult chaperones?
Racist dip ■■■■■ were chanting “build that wall”
The chaperones were there along with some of the parents who did nothing but just laugh…despicable.
That kid in a video is acting like a complete ■■■■■■■■■. He is stood right in the face of the protester with that stupid smug grin on his face proudly wearing his MAGA hat.
I think about my children and the lessons I teach them for one day they may be tested and I pray they have the same courage and resolve this elder had.
Ummmm no. But I did other stupid unthinking things that let’s just say were not the kind and gentle that a person that I have become cringe at.
That was me, yikes.
I am sure in the future that this young man will have some introspective and say the exact thing 50 years from now.
