Are you fucking kidding me?
If you're a POC, immigrant - anyone else who isn't a White Male - who's been taunted or threatened or who's had racially charged language thrown your way by White People - you know that stare that kid is giving.
It's not a "I was enjoying everything I mean no harm stare".
That's the stare of a little racist MF with racist MF parents (apparently he was innocent as can be and meant absolutely no harm).
But if you say that you're just some left wing nut who's furthering fake news!
Well - call me a left wing nut who's furthering fake news...
In REAL FAKE NEWS - I'm sorry - let's just call it what it is - real op-ed news of the racist right - you have this site giving some awesome misdirection quoting and writing:
"We are an all-male school that loves to get hyped up," said this student. "And as we have done for years prior, we decided to do some cheers to pass time. In the midst of our cheers, we were approached by a group of adults led by Nathan Phillips, with Phillips beating his drum. They forced their way to the center of our group. We initially thought this was a cultural display since he was beating along to our cheers and so we clapped to the beat." According to this student, the smiling student was grinning because he was enjoying the music, but eventually became confused, along with everyone else. (Indeed, multiple people can be heard to shout, "what is going on?")
Again - are fucking kidding me?
This is why we can't have nice things.
Because racist people support racist people.
