    Just found this thread

    OK sign bad, but not in 2012.

    It would have just been tone deaf, but dumb fuck racist kids actually put on minstreal make up for eyes and lips.

    America bad, but better than other choices.


    Am I all caught up now?

    unless you're Milkster. Then it's America bad and worse than China and Russia even though we have 57 pts and they have 53 pts. Reason being is that even though 57 is higher than 53, it's still worse because the 4 point difference is crazy minuscule so why even consider it. Essentially 57 = 53 but really Milkster is saying 57 is less than 53. Makes total sense now my mind is changed

    Come on sweetie, you're gay. You should be well versed with catty sarcasm. Maybe I should use more asterisks to help the tone of what I type *pointed eye roll* *pursed lips*

    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?

    About the tomahawk stuff: For shits I asked my students today if they knew what it was, no idea. And I thought about it. People assume these kids should know it is bad because the internet exists, but I mean, should they?

    What has been addressing this in these kids' generation?

    Which modern day tv shows talk about how it's bad?

    Hallmark movies?

    youtube celebrities?


    Where?


    We know it's bad because honestly it became a vocal thing in our generation to stop it. I feel (super fuzzy memory, since it's not something I have spent time thinking about) like we as a generation would have realized it was bad around the time they started advocating to call Indigenous people "Native Americans" instead of "Indians." So we knew because it was so newsworthy.

    I know that the Redskins has created controversy due to their name, but that's pretty much it that I've seen regarding disrespectful terms/motions to Native Americans in recent years. And let's not pretend teens are all avid news watchers either.

    This was not a man they were expecting to meet. What are the honest chances that browsing youtube and tik tok would have taught these kids that was a disrespectful thing to do?

    As to other stuff, I think my big problem is that people are using the truth, and assume it's ok to add lies into the truth. Like the basketball picture. The black make up is bad. Really bad. Definitely the school needs to stop that tradition and are stupid to allow it to continue.

    This does not make it OK to now trash the other kid in the photo who, I'm gonna guess, is still alive and probably has a job n' shit for using a "white power symbol" when it wasn't even considered that at the time. If we want to stop the spread of misinformation, then we have to be responsible human beings and focus on what's true, and ignoring what's false but would fit into our narrative.




    I also hate this "stop defending white kids" bullshit. I defend white kids, black kids, hispanic kids, all kids. It just so happens that THIS particular incident is about white kids, and no one here started turning it viral. But it IS now a viral talking point, and saying we should shut up and let the mob continue because they are white is dumb as fuck.


    I really think people are getting old they aren't stopping to think of what kind of stupid teen they were back in the day. Honestly. Too many people are giving too much credit to idiot teens acting like idiots. Not newsworthy, but now people have made it so.

    Phrases not included in the post above mine: Catholic, All-male, MAGA Hat, Anti-abortion rally.

    Or if you want to know where they learned it from heavy.com has your back. https://heavy.com/news/2019/01/covin...deo-fake-news/

    Or a region where a neighboring school threw out the valedictorian's speech because it talked about the parkland shooting. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ese/650814002/ (They had the same superintendent)

    Its like they're in a closed privatized system that reinforces certain beliefs at school and at home.

    oh no I'm sure the kids were just throwing down the tomahawk sign at a Native American while wearing MAGA hats because they thought it would show him how much they appreciate his heritage. Ksandra makes an excellent point.

    edit: I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude and condescend but seriously? what other motivation would these kids have had to use that specific taunt at that specific time?

    I will admit my stance has changed since the initial video came out. I'll let twitter describe it for me.

    1. I am talking about disrespectful motions specific to Indigenous people that the average teenager today would see and know the history about. Not general disrespect to Indigenous People.

    2. ask an average teenager what they know about standing rock.

    1 kid, not "these kids" did it for 3 seconds, looked around, saw no one else doing it, and put his hand down, yet you are lumping the whole school into this action.
