the alt-right

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

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!

this thread is deindexed

so it literally serves no purpose at all

I think we can all agree that if one is photographed appearing racist one certainly should’ve and could’ve made at least a few different decisions to avoid such an incident.

so invigorating to read concern trolls defend nazi youth itt

get a life

I like this word quisling; I had to look it up.

dan come on

the defense of this kid in this thread is extremely confusing to me. feel like ilx maybe would have had less defenders if the dude him and his friends were mocking wasn't native

?

It's also confusing to me, I was assuming it's because they have never experienced that face/smirk/stare at that distance before. For some of us, it's been a lifetime of it.

you think mordy, pomenitul, sund4r and i have a bias have a bias against native americans and that's why we are uncomfortable with the dox lyfe?

xp

i think bigotry against native american people engenders a surprisingly small amount of attention or care from people in general, compared with other visible minorities

there's quite open attempts to explain-away his behaviour in this thread. I'm not talking about criticisms of call-out culture or doxing which i am in complete agreement with

ah ok. got it. yeah, i agree that native americans in general are too often pushed to the margins of our awareness.

they have never experienced that face/smirk/stare at that distance before

*You mean from wee nyaff who thinks he's gallus and is lucky he's no' gettin' chibbed?

(*jim in vancouver can translate that for you)

that's vancouveran?

The first time I saw the video I did actually say to my partner "oh this kid has never been punched in the face before."
