Viral Clash of Students and American Indians Explained - The Atlantic
'According to the statement, the encounter between Sandmann and Nathan Phillips, the Omaha elder, was a misunderstood moment taken out of context. '
'Over the hour-and-45-minute run time, members of the group mock and deride passersby of all stripes. '
' Phillips, meanwhile, maintained that he and his companions felt threatened by the confrontation with the students, most of whom were white. '
'Online, reaction was swift and certain, with legislators, news outlets, and ordinary people denouncing the students and their actions as brazenly racist. '
'In a short, viral video shared widely since Friday, Catholic high-school students visiting Washington, D.C., from Kentucky for the March for Life appeared to confront, and mock, American Indians who had participated in the Indigenous Peoples March, taking place the same day. '

You're kidding right? Did you not see the crew and the Indian walk over to the kids and get inches from the 15 year olds face banging the damn drum? The Indian Nation has denounced Phillips as a con man. Look at his rap sheet. He uses his nationality to try and gain money and notoriety. Here in Hollywood, crew members stated it was a photo op. They got it and the Indian got caught lying about his Vietnam service and started backpedaling. He did get $600,000 in fund me money...which is also a new way to lauder money and payoffs! The Black Hebrew Israelites were seen and heard attacking the kids with disgusting low life slangs and perverse comments. These were grown ass men. You don't attack children/minors...Never any kid should be attacked, not any type of excuse no matter how you try and spin it. Just sick and twisted. He did this so I can say this and do that against a kid...ya right. People need to take responsibility for actions and grow up!
