Video posted online captures the unsettling incident in Washington, D.C., after a group of teens surrounds Nathan Phillips, mocking and harassing him as he sang the American Indian Movement song on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Phillips served in the Vietnam War and is the former director of the Native Youth Alliance, according to Indian Country Today.  One teen, in particular, is seen blocking Philips, smugly staring at the elder as he performs his song. Teens in the background appear to encourage the harassment. Users on social media identified the teens as likely being students from Covington Catholic school in Kentucky because of the insignia on some of their clothing. Laura Keener, the communications director with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington, released a statement on Saturday saying they were looking into the incident...... https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/maga-hat-wearing-teens-seeing-harassing-native-american-vietnam-veteran_us_5c435a09e4b0a8dbe171e2c6?utm_source=main_fb&utm_campaign=hp_fb_pages&ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000063&utm_medium=facebook&fbclid=IwAR32wsiULKdAjR2GDNArotoHJZpSNCvhrpTb1Py-rwd20_Nyg_Cr-tfwAnw&fbclid=IwAR2v5vEhYYgbMrQKOU1Jb6UdLTWODL8_Z-8JCPyQOQ6EWu3nyGrHoLHjR4Y&fbclid=IwAR2EW9zLA9T5gpIfSdLme6Jxs47QnQF9ZYnu2J8gAtcAQhG_DFZ4Ys-YLW0&fbclid=IwAR3ZHI27yWt3yQC7WBlBg6MVMXXijSoFYNzV_TnHTKZH1KeoxVlH3ATyGl8&fbclid=IwAR3e28MSp_EVtYzmzy3BSftqQwpTcmrW_ajw06xoLOnqyKAuaNK3rdjzoMA&fbclid=IwAR1fa6ETuMSiYXqeJhXAY27OdWFFsRxfJ9NKi2h8tGTPvqTpeGQ4MustaKA&fbclid=IwAR0cqso8Wokx2p46pn3ajcnKXGCw_V5E3YAkKCsFEjKozKWYp1luSmuGQng&fbclid=IwAR39d_TPVarqdmDXOv-LPJz0k2aMVVok9yYEbECwXE4zD6sVbT43GpIrPLU&fbclid=IwAR3yw1gD96DN7iaDSJnrgOIsuGV5901LgX582WkrS-JupwNHmR902vIeBc4 trump's racism being promoted from the Oval Office has given a "license" to racists all over the country to come out of the closet and show their true colors. But this is not entirely a bad thing because the American public needs to see clearly that racism is a problem in this country and they cannot eradicate it until they first admit that they have a problem.  All that nonsense about Obama's election showing we didn't have a racist Society has now completely been obliterated.  Truly the only way you can solve a problem is to admit that you have a problem and then to face it head-on.

Referring to Phillips, Sandmann said: "I never interacted with this protestor. I did not speak to him. I did not make any hand gestures or other aggressive moves. To be honest, I was startled and confused as to why he had approached me. We had already been yelled at by another group of protestors, and when the second group approached I was worried that a situation was getting out of control where adults were attempting to provoke teenagers. "I believed that by remaining motionless and calm, I was helping to diffuse the situation," he said. "I realized everyone had cameras and that perhaps a group of adults was trying to provoke a group of teenagers into a larger conflict. I said a silent prayer that the situation would not get out of hand." Sandmann, who said he has received death threats, strongly disputed characterizations that he is a racist, saying: "I am mortified that so many people have come to believe something that did not happen — that students from my school were chanting or acting in a racist fashion toward African Americans or Native Americans." "I did not do that, do not have hateful feelings in my heart, and did not witness any of my classmates doing that," he said,........ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/young-man-d-c-march-video-denounces-outright-lies-about-n960801?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 indigenous peoples' march Jan. 20, 2019 Staring Down the Smug Face of American Violence :.......The day’s march had settled on the plaza of the Lincoln Memorial to raise awareness for missing and murdered indigenous women. Indigenous women are one of the most vulnerable populations in this country; they are disproportionately affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, murder, human trafficking, and kidnapping........ People are responding so strongly to these videos because they are so emblematic of the violence that indigenous people have suffered for over 500 years in the United States. We have been raped, relocated, trafficked, separated, degraded, demoralized, and massacred by the United States government and a culture of media, economy, education, and religion that has dehumanized indigenous people for the entire history of this stolen country. Presently, this country continues to poison indigenous people by defiling our water and pumping drugs and alcohol into indigenous communities; regulate native bodies through tribal numbers and blood quantum laws; and force assimilation (culturally, spiritually). These are tactics of genocide. An ongoing, unrecognized genocide. These videos are a brutal reminder of a very real unfinished battle that indigenous people are still fighting.... Indigenous elders have given their lives to protect our identities, our sovereignty, our lands, our people, our ways of being, only to be met time and time again with violence — or at the very least, the smug, smirking faces of our oppressors like the boys of Covington Catholic High School. ... https://www.thecut.com/2019/01/staring-down-the-the-maga-teens-at-indigenous-peoples-march.html#_ga=2.9805493.1856342544.1548093690-1374258694.1455047074 1 Link to post Share on other sites
