Racist attacking children?
Ignore them as well?
Mob goes after children fixing them and issuing death threats because they smirked when being harassed by people standing in solidarity with the racists attacking them
Ignore them them as well?
And is it ok to point out the hypocrisy of a political ideology and party that constantly claims white racism, and yet ignores or deflects racist of other colors?
You missed the point. Everyone that day, should have ignored those 4 hateful, DC crazies. Problem solved. That's all I'm saying. Keep it simple. You keep throwing in all kinds of other issues. Let's handle these one at a time.
In this issue,many people are seeking to deflect blame to these kids and away from the racist
I’m not saying that’s what you are doing, but that is what many are
What should these kids have done
Stood there with a smile while the racists yelled at them?
Oh wait!!!!
That’s what the one kid did, and that was considered racist
They should have left and kept doing what they were doing in DC. If that were my kids, I would have advised them to ignore. They would have been in trouble for instigating trouble, when they got home as well.
I would be okay if my kids wanted to march in Charlottsville as anti hate or whatever, but if I even thought they were getting violent or antagonistic, again they'd be in really big trouble when they got home, grown or otherwise.
so the kids should have left the spot where they were supposed to meet the bus?
What did they do again that was so terroble? School cheers?
Oh, and then when they did do what you advised, ignore a person standing in soliodarity with the racist banging a drum in their face, that too was called racist.
This seems to be an awful lot of work to blame these kids.
Ok maybe they could have done some things better.
Great, Got it. Read you loud and clear.
Now about the RACIST ADULTS accosting them, can we talk about that, or is all of our focus need to be on these kids.
On the grand scheme of things, the blame for this incident is overwhelmingly ion the native and balck activists.
Why the insistence on focusing on the kids?

The KKK is a political/paramilitary group. Or at least it was. These black Israelites are racially offensive street preachers. Not really the same level of criminality unless you really believe it is some black version of murder incorporated.
And, no, I am not going to feign indignation. I'm not going to express outrage or shock or horror.
That's exactly the type of thinking that caused these kids to be roasted in the media in the first place. You condemn the injustice then do it yourself? In reverse? What's the difference? You sound like David Duke.

No i dont think the kid should have backed off. He acted in a dignified way, standing his ground politely and even telling his friend to not engage.
The fact that he suffers any criticism is asinine to me.
Can you prove to me that Trump or his people knew this guy was a former member of a racist black group that was accused of murders when they put him up?
And so it was Tuesday night before a crowd of Trump supporters in Phoenix who had come to watch another show. There was the president, whipping up the wildly cheering crowd, and then there was Michael the Black Man, chanting just beyond Trump’s right shoulder in that trademark T-shirt.
In July, he posted video footage of himself at the Mar-a-Lago Club, Trump’s “Winter White House,” for the Republican Party of Palm Beach County’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner.
Wearing a black dinner coat over a white “BLACKS FOR TRUMP” T-shirt, Michael posed with the local GOP’s chairman, apparently took a photo of first lady Melania Trump and recorded a selfie video that showed his arm slung over the shoulder of Florida Gov. Rick Scott.
“I saw you on TV with Trump,” Scott can be heard telling Michael. “You did a good job.”

Only you can't diffuse or deesculate a situation like that. At that point it's all Ego.

All ego for her. She should have backed down.

I interpreted "Do you defend some KKK members as well?" as you suggesting I was a KKK sympathizer.
If you don't understand what I said, how would a fourth repitition help? (rhetorical)

They're also digging out how another school in the Diocese wouldn't let a gay kid speak at his graduation, but the Diocese threw these kids under the bus right away and has yet to issue any retraction of that statement.

It wasn't even that school (Covington), and the school it was didn't stop that kid because he was gay. They stopped him and another kid because they turned in their speeches too late and then the content was too political for what the guidelines are.
