    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Posting here until someone makes a shithead MAGA teens thread.

    Also, stop defending shithead MAGA teens.
    See, now this is gross. I probably wouldn't expect a high school to suspend them for it. But def still something to be punished over.

    Have we discussed this yet? Maybe its a problem with the fucking school
    Also, yeah this is super gross. Do we know if the school still allows it? ( I wouldn't be surprised, but just curious on whether there has been any attempts to improve.)

    The picture has been taken out of context. Apparently the school does all kinds of stupid body paint color themes like blue, white, etc. Incredibly tone deaf and stupid yes, but it doesn’t seem malicious.


    EDIT: errr please move to new thread mods

    I mean I'm sure it is the same as the day take: What they did is bad, but the fact that no one is treating the black Israelite trolls this badly proves 1) we're just biased against straight white males and 2) a liberal echo chamber where we are just angry they wear MAGA hats and don't conform

    That seems like the hot take until you pause for a second and think about the positions of power and privilege in this scenario, the climate of the country, etc. I'm not saying I disagree entirely, I'm saying young white teens behaving badly in a vaguely racist manner on a (private) school-sponsored field trip wearing MAGA hats is very different from the typical overly provocative pan-phobic group of religious zealots with a loudspeaker. The latter is something that, frankly, I grew immune to as soon as I spent a few weeks on a college campus - we've all seen dudes just like the Israelites on a street corner somewhere, many times. The former, however, is bit of a unique scenario - we know kids like this exist but we hardly expect to see them behaving in this manner in this context, and it's not too much of a stretch to see it as an extension of MAGA culture and the rise of Trumpism, which is what gives them a higher level of both notability and relevance. And as for the power dynamic, these kids are a lot more likely, given our social structure, to both come from and step into positions of wealth and power and thus their behavior is viewed differently.

    I'm not entirely disagreeing with you because, yeah, this is an echo chamber lol. And anything MAGA is going to have a much bigger pull on the news cycle right now; I fully acknowledge this. Just putting my own nuance into the mix. Frankly those Israelites disgust me just as much as the kids, but the kids frighten me a lot more - not for what they are now, but for what their existence means.

    You give too much credit. It should be dismissed outright as whataboutism.

    Uh, the white around the mouth and eyes doesnt stand out to you? Its pretty specifically racist. School sanctioned racism is still racism.

    Not to mention white power hand signs there too. Unless you mean to tell me the kid in black face is making an okay sign with his hands as hes screaming at his face.

    Yeah, totally innocuous lol.

    But salodin the ok sign is just a right wing troll don'tcha know /s

    Even buzzfeed news says so and you know they're reputable.

    Or at least thats what Day and Nynja would say lmao.

    I feel for people who miss the okay sign, I really do, but it's been taken over by white supremacists and no one really cares enough to take it back.

    First they came for pepe, and nobody helped cause nobody cared. Then they came for and it was too late cause white people do what they want and everyone hand waves it as boys being boys.

    Y'all are going a bit full retard. That picture is from 2012, waaaaaaay before 4chan decided to try to re-purpose the "OK" sign to mean white power not to mention the kid isn't even doing the sign to begin with.
