He then lied when he said he was protecting the kids from the racist, homophobic, black Israelites. He also lied when he claimed that he was a combat vet in the Korean war. <br /><br />Nick did not walk into Phillips' space (no one disputes this). <br /><br />I could go on but why bother? I'm so disgusted with political Christians and their hypocrisy I just don't care anymore. I thank God almighty for opening my eyes with the Covington Catholic High School debacle. No longer will I be in the fog. By the way, I'm an Episcopalian. For now. Seek confession.

It made the context of the situation more complicated but it did not confirm the boys' account.<br /><br />2. The Native American - he has a name, it's Nathan Phillips - was NOT "caught lying" (that's a racist stereotype of Native Americans). Some of the folks in DC who knew him as a veteran mistakenly reported that he was a Vietnam vet and some of the media reported that. <br /><br />3.Who encroached on whose "space" (and, isn't this always the argument from people in this country who STOLE the land from the NATIVE Aericans?) is pretty clear. That young man - Nick - walked right into Mr. Phillip's "space". He didn't SMILE. That was a SMIRK. It's the "smile" entitled, privileged white men put on their faces when they know they are entiled, privileged and white.<br /><br />4. Mr. Phillips did not lie.<br /><br />5. Where are the Christians? Right here. Telling the truth in the face of old, racist lies about how white men don't lie but there are "Lyin' Injuns" - all while the man who fact checkers can attest has publically lied 91% of the time while he's been in the Oval Office. <br /><br />6 My turn: Why is it that when white boys are wearing a MAGA hat - which has become a symbol of white supremacy and white nationalism (Like a KKK hood only made in China), it's just a hat, but when black boys wear a hoodie, they are "thugs"? <br /><br />You're welcome.

The Native American was caught lying not once, but twice, in the video. The child you all want to heap abuse upon is 16 years old. His smile when Nathan Phillips encroached upon his space (as clearly revealed in the video) was a surprised teenage smile, which devolved into a half smile (AKA Face Crime, per Orwell). Phillips lied about his war record. Where are the Christians to own up to their mistake? Where are the Christians to put politics aside and admit they were wrong? Not here. Very sad. But this is a blessing from God for those of us who want to view politicized Christianity (of the right AND the left) in it's horrific visage. Never again will I be fooled by progressives.

It's the central part of the story, to my mind. The problem is that there are so many other threads that have woven themselves around this story - you mentioned one, another is the March for Life and all that gives rise to, another is the MAGA hate and all that entails - but I fear we'll use all of those things to avoid talking about racism. We White people really have to dig in and dig down. It's the only way we're going to heal from this "Original Sin". <br />Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-10517114910209330902019-01-24T19:26:25.375-05:002019-01-24T19:26:25.375-05:00Really, enough of the boys will be boys crud - the...Really, enough of the boys will be boys crud - these immature tyrants in training are the result of parents who failed to teach their children to respect ALL other human beings. The near complete failure of adults to teach human decency to the current generations is exemplified by the Pretender-In-Chief and his endless destruction of every form of dignity that might have lingered in Washington. I know, I know, it's child abuse to take those boys out behind the woodshed and light up their ivory butts, but the thought has crossed my mind that such "accountability" is long over-due for all of them.Marthenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-28237949824365906252019-01-24T10:52:14.367-05:002019-01-24T10:52:14.367-05:00Thanks so much.
