the alt-right

worry not he'll be sailing though his senate confirmation for a federal judgeship in 2040.

I really wanted to join the mob when I read the Lucky Santangelo series in jr high. But soon realized I would never be accepted.

it takes a village

to raise a chud?

mob mentality is what those teen boys were displaying while waiting for their bus.

xp at Yerac : I grew up with a number of post-Godfather movie italian kids (well, the ones who did not go to private catholic school) and the kids who affected the "hey, my family totally has cool mob ties" shtick kind of ruined the whole thing for me

I was young and those books were such great trash reads.

worry not he'll be sailing though his senate confirmation for a federal judgeship in 2040.

Only if he's been keeping his calendars!

he probably won't face permanent consequences for being caught on camera in a MAGA hat smirking at a native american maybe in a more enlightened society

Feel like in a more enlightened society Nicholas Sandmann, whose mother Julie Sandmann is the vice president of Relationship Management at Fidelity Investments and father Ted Sandmann is a sales manager for a VT Hackney, should probably be ostracized for confronting minorities while wearing what's essentially a klan hood

There's some weird takes in this thread. If you think, even for a second, that they were dancing in chanting in solidarity, give your head a shake.

Wait, are you talking about the group of kids who were nearly all wearing MAGA hats and who included Nicholas Sandmann, whose mother Julie Sandmann is the vice president of Relationship Management at Fidelity Investments and father Ted Sandmann is a sales manager for a VT Hackney?

I feel like for the libs handwringing on my feed, most of it was performative, to demonstrate "look, we're not all stodgy partisans".

Also the same people that called Bush "a remnant of a kinder era" and say nice things about Reagan

struggling with how Phillips walking over to the students justifies the students mocking him and Native Am culture...
(not saying anyone here did exactly that, but I have seen it elsewhere)

Yea it's the whole collateral damage piece. If a woman came up to me and criticized me, does that now gove me carte blanche to start throwing around gendered insults and yell "get back in the kitchen?

Like it really means you feel that way anyway and are just looking for justification to show your ass.

Was this in here yet? Covington Catholic basketball game, 2015

idk about klan hat equivalent but

What the fuck kind of high school puts a blackface video on their own Youtube channel?

wait thats an actual shitbrix koment for me wtf

The fig leaf is that this is a "blackout game", which is a real thing, but fuck that, these shits know what they're doing. In fact, it kind of makes me wonder how often a "blackout game" is used as an excuse for predominantly white schools to wear blackface when playing predominantly black schools.

they're from fucking kentucky, they know what blackface is

"no it wasn't blackface, they painted their WHOLE BODY black and called themselves 'the Crazies' during school games"

Oh ok!

googling blackout game gets me a list of call of duty hits but im struggling to see a context that could rly even pretend to work here tbh

anyone painting their face (or whole body) black is either racist or a clueless moron about the implications*
*claims of innocent "BLACKOUT" night school spirit shit are obv negated anyway by them painting white around their eyes and mouth

Major bummer here is the convenient appearance for FOX et al of Black Israelites, like they're representative of anything. Ppl who don't live in big cities don't get that it's always just three or four deranged assholes doing bible cosplay.

Add in a star athlete recent Covington grad is recently sitting in jail on rape and sodomy charges. His second offense. At least his scholarship just got taken away.

you could really stretch and say kids are not aware of the history of blackface...but last I checked there's parents and faculty policing student's attire and behavior. girl wearing shorts above mid thigh=GO HOME AND CHANGE IMMEDIATELY YOU HARLOT. guys wearing blackface=I see no problem here!

i think the thing that so many of us forget is that the parents and faculty in schools like these think this kind of stuff is "cool" and "funny"

like my parents are your garden variety racist asshats from mississippi and i don't even think they'd let this shit slide if i'd been so inclined

Is this when he was scared and saying his silent prayer ? 🤷‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/miz86vgN0B

saving babbys

i'm much more comfortable putting the onus of responsibility on the faculty chaperones rather than one kid

Likewise. Social determinism goes both ways.

I'm sure the chaperones are also lovely people.

They really need to start taxing churches.

*students are discarding their clothes at the Lincoln memorial*

Chaperone: This is fine.

Aye, and there's yer man on the right hand side of that photo obviously traumatized by the abuse from the Black Israelites.

i mean, the "statement" was drafted by a lawyer. i've taught high school and that wasn't written in the voice of a teen.

Nobody should ever put out a multipage public statement. Especially if they are denying something. A paragraph will do! Or nothing! Why make a statement?

hey, are you guys still talking about the group that includes internationally notorious racist and women's rights opponent Nicholas Sandmann, whose mother Julie Sandmann is the vice president of Relationship Management at Fidelity Investments and father Ted Sandmann is a sales manager for a VT Hackney?

what is this is weird shtick none of us are going to have any professional leverage over any members of the sandmann family so the only potential consequences from this is ilx maybe having to deal w/ unnecessary legal trouble

ilx could?

i mean it's unlikely but maybe if someone sent a cease and desist or something? i can't imagine any other possible consequences tho.

You know, I'm not sure Nicholas Sandmann, who opposes women's rights and was part of a mob who surrounded and mocked a native american man, and whose mother Julie Sandmann is the vice president of Relationship Management at Fidelity Investments and father Ted Sandmann is a sales manager for a VT Hackney, really has a legal case against ILX

A c&d isn’t really “legal trouble”

this is so stupid it's making my head explode i'm going to bed

However your shtick, while no doubt righteous, seems frivolous.

The statement he put out was really terrible. Every teenager knows what 'harvesting his organs' means. FFS they were at a pro-life/anti-choice rally, this is their wank material.

Good night you fucking "centrist" quisling!
