That’s what mean white boys are — racist wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Quote But emerging from that fray as one of the most prominent people supporting the Covington students is White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. In an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Tuesday, Sanders, echoing Trump, said, “I’ve never seen people so happy to destroy a kid’s life.” On Wednesday morning, in another Fox News appearance, Sanders doubled down on her defense, adding that Trump “would certainly be open” to having the students — some of whom were wearing “Make America Great Again” hats in the video — visit the White House once the partial government shutdown ends. “The idea that anybody could take joy in the destruction of young kids is absolutely outrageous to me, and that’s exactly what we saw members of the media and other leaders do,” she said on “Fox & Friends.” She continued: “These are kids. Let’s not forget, these are 15-, 16-year-old kids that were put in a very tough position and actually handled it very well.” Her comments drew instant disbelief and rebuke, with many slamming her as a “hypocrite.” “Really?” wrote Parkland survivor and activist David Hogg in a tweetthat had more than 335,000 likes as of early Thursday. In the aftermath of the February 2018 school shooting that left 17 dead, Hogg and his classmates were vilified by prominent conservatives and right-wing media figures who accused the teens of being “crisis actors” or making up their experiences. The surviving students and their families also received death threats. Then last March, Fox News host Laura Ingraham took aim at Hogg on Twitter, taunting him over his college applications getting rejected. Ingraham later apologized after Hogg organized an aggressive advertiser boycott of her show, “The Ingraham Angle.” Many also quickly drew attention to Trump’s family separation policy at the border, which Sanders has defended, saying at one point, “It’s a moral policy to follow and enforce the law.” Trump halted the separations in June 2018 and a federal judge ordered reunifications to be completed the following month. As of October, The Washington Post’s Arelis R. Hernández reported that 245 children had yet to be returned to their families. [How many migrant children are still separated from their families?] “Your administration tore babies from their parents' arms and threw children in cages,” tweeted Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.). Really? Your administration tore babies from their parents’ arms and threw children in cages. And then LIED about it. https://t.co/RtTmzku30B — Senator Jeff Merkley (@SenJeffMerkley) January 23, 2019 They ripped 2000+ kids from their parents. https://t.co/zms5UiRt5J — Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 23, 2019 Over 12,000 children are currently locked up in detention centers. https://t.co/Con6ECRD5W — RAICES (@RAICESTEXAS) January 23, 2019 Others wanted to remind Sanders of how minority youths are often treated by the public. Emmett Till says what — Jeff Tiedrich (@itsJeffTiedrich) January 23, 2019 Several people highlighted the slayings of black youths like Tamir Rice and Trayvon Martin. Studies about race and media have often come to the conclusion that black people are more likely to be shown in a negative light, compared with white people. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/01/24/your-administration-tore-babies-their-parents-critics-slam-sarah-sanders-covington-comments/?utm_term=.91a9ee6a80da Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dude Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/maga-teens-knew-benefit-doubt-201154239.html "None of the excuses made on behalf of these kids are capable of withstanding the slightest bit of intellectually-honest scrutiny. The presence of a few Black Israelites—a group that any resident of a major city learned long ago to ignore—has no bearing on whether it is acceptable for white kids to allegedly chant nationalist slogans at, of all people, a Native man. (Assertions to the contrary also betray a troubling tendency to conflate members of minority groups, as if all brown people are indistinguishable threats.) Nor do any of the purported "extended clips," disseminated by conservative journalists as if they were mini-Zapruder films, exonerate Sandmann and his friends. Some of them even serve as more damning indictments of the students' conduct." Two things: 1. OH. MY. God. 2. If all Israelite's were black, would the liberals be on Team Israel instead of Team Palestinian? I bet they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 C.S. Lewis Called it “Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one’s first feeling, ‘Thank God, even they aren’t quite so bad as that,’ or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies are as bad as possible? If it is the second then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally we shall insist on seeing everything – God and our friends and ourselves included – as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred.” ( https://quitefranklytv.tumblr.com/post/182272222813/cs-lewis-called-it ) 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
