This recent incident with the Covington Catholic kids in D.C. highlights the moral cowardice by those focusing on the Covington Catholic high school students. Notice that despite getting more complete videos, and better reporting on the situation (complete with many retractions or corrections by the MSMs), they are still clinging to any misstep they can find on the part of the kids.
Why so much attention to the students? Because they are a Christian, boys, mostly white, and wearing MAGA hats. For many, that alone is enough to assume the worse. It's also very safe to go after these kids because of these things. They've unwillingly become the target of a national media frenzy which has resulted in doxing, threats to the kids and their families, and now the school itself is shut down due to threats. Yet, still...people won't lose their jobs over this or get called out like they should.
Then behold the sheer racist and bigoted behavior displayed by the Black Israelite group, that was composed of adults. How are they not the ones that got put in the spotlight for what is clearly deplorable behavior. Why not put more focus on them and the things they said? Why hold them to an infinitely lower standard and scrutiny than minors? Because being critical of a minority group isn't as safe a target. I mean...why put them on blast when there are white boys wearing MAGA hats, right?
Some gems from the video:
By 1:30 they've already been disrespectful to the Native American group there (Covington kids haven't even showed up yet) calling them demons and Uncle Tomahawks
At 48:12 they call a black man who is getting upset with what they are yelling a coon.
1:07:44 They turns around to face the kids starting to gather at their rally point on the stairs, calling them incest babies, then goes on to call them lice-ridden dogs
1:10:30 calls the kids cavemen
1:46:15 calls them dirty bastards
This was just a few things from clicking through. I didn't find the part where they told a black student that the other kids were going to harvest his organs or where they call the faggots.
We won't see the frenzy over this behavior that we do for minors that, at worse, are being a little douchey in an uncomfortable situation.
