    Nathan Phillips is melodramatic and a liar. Is that debatable? 

    The kids are buttholes and liars. Is that debatable?

    MAGA hats, in 2019, while not being hate speech or anything else as ridiculous, is still a very ballsy thing to wear knowing that the culture of America is stacked against you. Personally, I wouldn't wear one or allow my kids to wear one because whether fair or not, it's inviting conflict that I'd rather avoid.

    Nathan Phillips, an adult, brought conflict to kids, lied about his intentions/origins of interaction, and cloaked his entering into conflict with underage they's with the whole "I'm just a peaceful medicine man who is trying to be peaceful and help out" when really he is making a statement against perceived racism via the maga hat proxy.

    The lying buttholes are white, which means they are members of the politically dominant ethnic group. Nathan Phillips is a member of a politically oppressed ethnic group. That matters in this context.

    I'll try to be more literal for you.

    If a male has undergone the transition to female, I have no problem calling him a "her" now. In fact, I'd say "she" rather than "he" even if the person preferred to be called a "he".

    If a male is just thinking about transitioning and wishes to be called a "she", I'd call that person a "he" until the transition has started. 

     

    Not cool.

    I won't be bringing anything. When the guillotines fire up, they're coming for me, as well. (And rightfully so.)

    It's not a threat, bud, it's history. If we oppress the poor hard enough they will move past the whipped-dog stage. Better to fix society first; it's cleaner for everyone.

    We've managed to distract the poor and middle class with gadgets and entertainment. People in this country live hand to mouth, but as long as they have a dirt cheap flat screen and an off brand smart phone, we've convinced them being broke isn't so bad. There will be no guillotines here.

    Those people in the pictures, they're in a database in Caracas and would like be shot to death for outwardly demonizing the Maduro regime.  They're also likely being fed as a trade for their support.  The general population of Venezuela does not support Maduro in any form or fashion. 

    How do you know?

    Hopefully, Venezuela will have some patriotic generals declare their loyalty to the new President and will cause the chain reaction to topple Maduro. The US promising to pay the generals and their men is exactly the type of covert action we should be taking. Tanks in the streets of Caracas and announcing that Maduro needs to be arrested should be the next moves. Hopefully, there will be a Venezuelan general who becomes their Gen Sisi and saves their country. I was so disappointed when the Turkish coup of 2016 failed. This has a better chance of success 

    Does it?

    Is it racist to point out that statistics support the privilege shown in every one of your examples?

    -Blacks account for over 50% of the homicide rate despite accounting for 13% of the population. 

    -Blacks are 8.55 times more likely to be the suspect in a robbery or theft case based on current incarceration rates

    -According to the Consumer Bureau, blacks are the only race not to average a credit score above 700. If you don’t think white people have issues with jobs, try having a foreigner’s name.

    Does this mean that all blacks are inherently bad people or should suffer? Of course not. But to pretend that these are stereotypes instead of reality is disingenuous. It’s pretty unfair that perceived Muslims are randomly selected for further screening too. But...

    Exactly.

    Still waiting on your telling us about white privilege and how we didn't land on the moon.

    Ever been pulled over and not been worried about getting arrested or shot?

    That's white privilege.

    Ever gone into a store and not been followed by security?

    That's white privilege.

    Ever applied for a mortgage or a job without having to worry about the way your name sounds?

    That's white privilege.

    There are many more examples and you know all of them.

    I don’t know about y’all, but if it’s my kid in this situation, I would pull every available resource I had to counter this firestorm since the kid’s entire future is at stake. In my opinion, there are no heroes here. What I do know are teenage boys and how dumb they/I’ve acted. No matter if my kid was in the worst of the bunch as an insensitive jerk instigator or was a saint and completely blameless, I would have contacted a PR firm to help deal with the cultural war has erupted. If you wouldn’t for your kid d you’re lying 

    It's good to hold kids accountable.

    Silly pants, you cannot prove a negative. Tell us how it exists. Tell us how if white privilege exists why Asians and Indians are so over-represented in higher education and lucrative careers. Is there a brown privilege?

    Those things are not mutually exclusive.

    Bless your heart. We both know you'd rather spend Race Card yarns and tell us why it is always someone else's fault. But tell us more why Asians and Indians cannot matriculate into higher education and need quotas.

    They can. No one is saying they can't. And that's why it's a straw man.

    Come on now. Tell us how white privilege doesn't exist in the United States.
