So when trump, who was a witness, said he had the biggest crowd ever, we have to take his word, and not look at the tape and see for ourselves?
That's why you've constructed this adhom thread?
Man, the lengths you will go to defend these racists is astounding!
I'm simply not defending your fallacies. Nothing personal, talk to the hand!
Pointing out peoples lies and defense of racist using facts is not adhom.
You chose to ignore reality becasue you have no problem with racist if they arent white, and want focus on attacking kids who are receiving death threats.
And i love our conversations, because with every post you make, you further out yourself.

We demand that the students of Covington Catholic High School be reprimanded — not just by the school officials as seniors, but by their upcoming universities. We demand the Catholic Church hold themselves responsible for the hundred-plus years of genocide that our indigenous people have endured — and still persist through — by [implementing] the following: with reparations of land and restorations to the indigenous peoples in the U.S. and across the world.
We demand that the Catholic Church revoke the papal bulls related to the doctrine of discovery, which laid the foundation for religious prejudice and the dehumanization of indigenous peoples.
this is a fairly disturbing comment considering as a wide-spread social issue this entire event is a symptom of Identity politics, and yet because it does not feel like it directly affects you. you choose to turn a blind eye to the situation? Im sorry but its mind sets like this that unknowingly perpetuate social issues. you should stay informed, do your due diligence, and educate yourself even if it does not affect your life directly.

The thing is, what does this matter to you? Does it affect your life? Job?
Is this really important? Why have you chosen to spend time on it?
These days I'm taking the stance if all the answers to the above are moot, it's psyop designed to change the way I think or feel. So I stop thinking about it and go back to things that are important in it. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss!
ETA: a psyop from the media,not your postings.

America mocks and dehumanizes natives at every turn

Let's be absolutely clear about something here: Whatever else may have been said about it or our country's reactions to it, the racist disrespect of Nathan Phillips, a Native American elder, by Nick Sandmann and his MAGA-hat clad classmates of Covington Catholic High School at the Lincoln Memorial is nothing new. In fact, it's quite the common thing. In this increasingly depraved society, that kind of behavior is often encouraged or excused as just good ol' American fun.

The speed with which Sandmann was able to marshal his posse of defenders, it seems, was not purely a product of the moral weight of his position. According to the Louisville Courier Journal, as video of the boys' leering faces raced across the Internet, Sandmann's family retained the services of RunSwitch PR, a Louisville-based media relations firm. (One of its founding partners is a longtime Republican operative, and currently serves as a conservative op-ed writer for the paper.) A spokesperson explained that the company is now "working with the family to ensure an accurate recounting of events."
