Deny the Truth and Push your Agenda

By now most of the U.S. had read the "article" written on Deadspin by Laura Wagner, a makeshift "reporter".  If you have not the article it can be found here.  The "article" entitled, "Don't Doubt What You Saw With You Own Eyes", in a nutshell tells anyone who saw the full, unedited video they should ignore it and stay to true the misconceptions they were fed; to ignore the truth.  My response to her "article" is the remainder of this blog post.

My response on Deadspin (edited for some errors):

"So, basically, lie to yourself and support your confirmation bias, even when the full video provides information completely to the contrary. You leftists are truly, sincerely, and completely brain-dead. It has gotten to the point you are so caught up in your own lies and wish for Utopia you cannot even navigate through your own sea of hypocrisy, and in most cases you don’t even care to. You will simply call someone an “ist”, “ism” or “phobe” when unable to argue points mad which factually contradict your argument. For you, the world is “white bad”; “man bad”; “Christian bad”. You also (hypocritically, no doubt), scream “ACCEPTANCE!” from the rooftops, yet, you threaten or physically assault anyone who doesn’t agree with you while vandalizing their property or the property of others.  "PAY MORE TAXES!" Which comes from the ones who avoid paying taxes or pay none at all.

These kids were provoked. They were provoked by the idiotic “black Israelites”, a truly racist, homophobic, and radical group. They were also provoked by Nathan Philips, the Native American who happens to be a veteran, who is somehow relieved of his immaturity and fault in this matter due to his race and military status (which turns out to be false). The same can be said for the “black Israelites” due to their race (as we do not know their military statuses). 

The only reason the kids are the target are due to them supporting Trump, and the left’s notion president Trump is a racist. They [the left] are using this event as a platform to push their agenda, and it doesn’t matter to them these are innocent minors who stood their ground in the face of ignorance. If these boys would have been wearing “the Pussyhat” or apparel which supported a democratic candidate, they would never have been approached by Philips. They would have, however, had to deal with the “black Israelites” as they verbally assault anyone who passes who is not “black”.

Your attempts to label anything Trump - even if it means ignoring fact - is only driving the divide deeper in the country. And in all honesty, I believe it is exactly what you aim to do. You want to push every notion possible to divide the people. From “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”, to the pulling off of hijabs, to lighting churches on fire, to spray painting swastikas and slogans, to this you are falsifying information and purposefully misguiding the public to cause civil unrest. You don’t want peace. You want war. You want war abroad, and even worse you want it at home."

I stand behind these kids and behind president Trump.  I stand behind my nation and our values.  I stand with you wearing a red hat in the face of waving a red flag.  To all of those who are standing with the Constitution in-hand, I am with you.  Stay strong.  Stick together.  Trust in God.    

An extreme lack of historic understanding

An extreme lack of historic understanding

The U.S. wasn't a "country", when settlers came. There were no borders, there was only tribal governance. Now, I am not saying that was either good or bad, but to make it seem as though there was a functioning nation state is preposterous.

Every nation in this world, for the most part, is based on the settling of lands. There are exceptions to the rule in terms of nations of ancient peoples, but it's a rarity. Most of Europe came out of Anatolia in the beginning, so is the man going to tell the reporter to go back to Anatolia instead of Germany, for example? Also, that would mean he'd need to take himself back to where he came from. On the same (unfortunate) note, slavery was standard practice during those times. Africans were enslaving Africans, Caucasians enslaving Caucasians, Arabs enslaving Africans, Indians, and Caucasians (search: Barbary Slave Trade), Chinese enslaved the Chinese, etc. Europeans didn't start slavery - they ended it.

**Side note: Native Americans were the last people in the United States to free their African slaves. They fought tooth and nail to keep them, with some Native tribes joining the Confederate Army. I wonder if Mr. Go-back-to-where-you-came-from knows that.**

The whole notion of not standing for the flag due to an embellished and, sometimes, downright false accusations is asinine, but it is a Right granted to all U.S. citizens and nationals by the First Amendment, which I strongly support; however, just because you have the right to not stand, doesn't make you any less of an asshole for not doing it. People like Colin Kaepernick, who is half Caucasian, makes US$19 million a year, and who was adopted by white parents, speaks about "oppression", and protests it by not standing for the anthem and flag of the very nation that forwarded him the opportunity to become so successful, even as a 2nd rate QB. Now, due to his status and fame as a NFL player, people are blindly following suit.  And "Quanell X", another ill-informed and self-victimizing "community activist" (read: everything is whitey's fault), is there to herd the sheep under the same false flag.
