Re: Dangerous media smears of innocent boys
Tomahawk chops are an integral part of that racist chant.

Re: Dangerous media smears of innocent boys
I COMMENTED ON SANDMAN'S SMILE THAT IS FALSELY CALLED A SMIRK> The kid was just trying to seem friendly and unthreatening. The Indian guy came up to him and beat his drum inches from his face. He wasn't smirking at all. And they did absolutely nothing to respond to the Black Israelites, nothing whatever. The Israelites started out taunting the Native Americans who asked them to stop. Then they turned on the kids calling them all kinds of names. Then the old Indian guy walked over with his drum. As the Black Israelites kept up their foul namecalling the boys did their school chants as they always do, but also in the hope of drowning out the ruckus. THEY DID NOT DESERVE ANY OF THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THEM. You are buying the media lies. Listen to the old Indian guy's lying accusation, all of it made up out of thin air. Listen to the namecalling by the Black Israelites. The KIDS WERE DOING NOTHING.

Re: Dangerous media smears of innocent boys
And don't forget that between those "innocent" boys being at an anti-abortion demonstrate and their encounter with the Black Hebrew Israelites, they were harassing women: https://twitter.com/roflinds/status/1087486166939680768?s...

You have no way of knowing his motivation.

Re: Dangerous media smears of innocent boys
I'm not going to look at that link. With all the media lies against these poor kids already I know that one is just another and you are just another creep who wants to find fault with the innocent ones.

And you don't think he might slant his own account to make himself look less like an asshole?

Re: Dangerous media smears of innocent boys
That's unquestionably a smirk.
But it's nice to see you accept the tomahawk chops since I posted a video of them.
Chanting is not doing nothing. In that situation it's provocative and stupid, and asshole behavior. The chant, BTW, is extremely racist.

Re: Dangerous media smears of innocent boys
Here is Sandmann's statement, staring at 3:00
Nothing is said about "Tomahawk chops" even by the old Indian guy. The movement of the kids' arms does not suggest holding anything in their hands such as a tomahawk, their hands are open. That's all typical Leftist LIES,

Re: Dangerous media smears of innocent boys
Message 556 clearly shows tomahawk chops during the racist chant. No matter what Sandmann does or does not say.
From Wikipedia:
quote:
Usage of the tomahawk chop has led to complaints that it made fun of Native American culture.[18] It also was criticized for being a reference to the former practice of scalping.[14] Shortly after the Atlanta Braves adopted it, there were a number of calls from Native Americans for Braves fans to stop doing the tomahawk chop.[10] Prior to the 1991 World Series a number of Native Americans protested against the Braves using the tomahawk chop outside the Metrodome. During the protests Clyde Bellecourt, national director of the American Indian Movement, suggested that the team could be called "the Atlanta Negroes, Atlanta Klansmen or Atlanta Nazis".[19] In 2009, the Gill-Montague Regional School Committee, a local school board in Massachusetts, banned the use of the gesture at school sporting events, calling it offensive and discriminatory.[20] In 2016, Native American groups asked the Kansas City Chiefs to stop doing the tomahawk chop.[21] In the same year a similar request was made of Exeter Chiefs.[22]
In politics, during the 2012 Senate election in Massachusetts, staffers of candidate Scott Brown were filmed doing the tomahawk chop at a campaign rally towards supporters of Elizabeth Warren, to mock Warren's claim of having Native American ancestry.[23]

Re: Dangerous media smears of innocent boys
YOU'D HAVE TO PROVE THAT THEY WERE DOING TOMAHAWK CHOPS AND DOING THEM INTENTIONALLY AS A TAUNT AND THERE IS NO REASON TO THINK THAT YOUNG KIDS WOULD BE DOING SUCH A THING IN SUCH A CROWD. THAT'S CRAZY. IT'S ALL MADE UP LEFTIST BS.

The History of the Covington MAGA Teens’ Racist ‘Tomahawk Chop’
'
quote:
Amidst all the ref-working, bad faith arguments, false equivalencies, and targeted attacks on reporters by the far right since videos showing a group of teens from Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky hooting, jeering, and mocking a Native American elder were made public, one piece of evidence can’t be hand-waved away or pettifogged until the truth is unrecognizable: the Tomahawk Chop.
In multiple videos, the studentssome of whom, prior to gathering at the Lincoln Memorial, were allegedly howling MAGA! at random female passers-bycan be seen engaging in the familiar chant, bringing their arm downward as if wielding a tomahawk while belting out a crude version of traditional Native American songs. Fans of the Atlanta Braves, Kansas City Chiefs, Florida State University, and numerous high schools with Native American mascots have been chopping away for decades. But make no mistake: The chant in and of itself is considered a slur by Native Americans and advocacy groups have plaintively asked sports teams to stop rubber-stamping this behavior since it first gained prominence.

Re: Dangerous media smears of innocent boys
I don't believe any of it, sorry. The Leftist smear has been amply demonstrated. This is just more made up stuff.
ABE: If the chant is a racist slur why didn't the lying old Indian mention it?
