The Indian walked up to them. The kids were stationary on the steps! Dew ewe understand the English language?So because adults were acting like little children they get a pass? Because young adults did not run away, did not fight back they are reviled?The children in the native American confrontation were seeking confrontation. They behaved like a mob
The red MAGA hat is definitely the new white hood. The hat itself signals an intent to confront.
If these children were peaceful as they purported, they would have turned their backs on the people harassing them and walked away. If they were Christian they would have turned the other cheek.
Surrounding and harassing a native American because the children were harassed by 'black Hebrews' doesn't even make sense.

Actress Alyssa Milano in a tweet on Sunday attempted to draw a parallel between supporters of President Trump wearing red hats with his “Make America Great Again” slogan to members of the Ku Klux Klan.
"The red MAGA hat is the new white hood," Milano said.
"Without white boys being able to empathize with other people, humanity will continue to destroy itself. #FirstThoughtsWhenIWakeUp," the actress added.
Prior to the tweet, Milano shared another post on Twitter that featured a video of Native American Vietnam veteran Nathan Phillips, who went viral over the weekend after footage of his encounter with a group of Catholic high school students who appeared to confront him and his troupe sparked outrage.
“The man that boy is harassing in the video is Nathan and he’s a veteran,” she captioned the clip.
Her criticism came shortly before one of the students at the center of the viral controversy, Nick Sandmann, claimed that reports about the apparent confrontation were filled with "misinformation" and "outright lies."
In footage of the encounter, Sandmann can be seen standing and smiling in front Phillips as some of his fellow students jeer in the background.
Several of the students in the clip were also seen donning "Make America Great Again" hats.
The viral footage prompted the Diocese of Covington to apologize on behalf of the students behavior and publicly condemn them.
But Sandmann argued on Sunday that he was "singled out" by the Native American man during the incident and that he was the first to confront him instead.
"The protestor everyone has seen in the video began playing his drum as he waded into the crowd, which parted for him," Sandmann said in a letter. "I did not see anyone try to block his path. He locked eyes with me and approached me, coming within inches of my face. He played his drum the entire time he was in my face."
However, Phillips told The Washington Post over the weekend "that guy in the hat stood in my way and we were at an impasse."
"It was getting ugly, and I was thinking: ‘I’ve got to find myself an exit out of this situation and finish my song at the Lincoln Memorial,’ ” Phillips said. “I started going that way, and that guy in the hat stood in my way and we were at an impasse. He just blocked my way and wouldn’t allow me to retreat.”
They so called adults decide to taunt and name call like stupid young children. Why? simply because someone may have backed a president that they did not like. If they had been wearing one of our last presidents offerings everyone would have been after those taunting the young adults.
Funny how biased and stupid people become. Even the complete lack of force and completely adult exercise of restraint calls others who have not grownup to attack others.
The MAGA boys were being harassed by black guys who looked big and mean. They chose to confront a native American instead of the big and mean black guys who were harassing the MAGA boys.
Confrontation is not restraint. Bullying a native American is bigotry.
