I never said that you said Nathan Phillips needed to take responsibility. I was pointing out that you said all three GROUPS need to take responsibility. The Native Americans did absolutely nothing wrong. The reason they were there, in full ceremonial clothing, playing drums, chanting and dancing was because it was a Native American peace rally. It was a gathering where the natives could come together and celebrate. It just happened to be in the nation's capital. They weren't there to spread any kind of awareness or their beliefs or to heckle and harass people, unlike the extremists who were only there to protest the Native Americans and basically persecuting them for their beliefs and belittling them because they didn't believe as they do. It sounds to me like you are trying to make all parties seem equally responsible when that is not the case at all! I'm not sure how familiar you are with Native American culture but when they gather like that, it's ceremonial.
If you would take the time to watch the video or at least skim through it, you could see things plain as day for yourself rather than taking what the media tells you as Church. The media realizes they fucked up when they put all the blame on the white people, who I have since came to the conclusion they did nothing wrong either other than just acted like teenagers, so they had to introduce this group of black radicals, whom despite all the terrible religious hate speech they were throwing at the natives at the very beginning of the video, were never even mentioned until it came time to take the blame away from the white people and put it on the minorities, but they knew putting sole blame on black people, whether if they were the only people at fault or not, would just cause a major backlash, so they only showed certain parts of the video to manipulate the people into believing what the media wanted them to and they did so in a way to make the Native Americans look just as bad as the extremists. The media played it off by saying they had new footage where they then show the extremists threatening the white kids and then they show the natives protecting the extremists. There is also footage where they were protecting the kids and when they were dancing and beating their drums and chanting, they were standing between the two groups. when it was a 2 hour long video. They had the footage the entire time, but saying we found new footage, is a blatant lie and their way of not having to admit they withheld this from you before to make one specific group of people look bad but since they are white and probably Trump supporters, blame these guys and while we're at it let's blame the natives as well so we can make the white people look even better,.They never showed the extremists persecuting the hell out of the natives at the very beginning of the video by telling them their land was taken from them because they don't believe in the Christian God. I consider that to be even worse than the very first initial clip of the kids and the natives or at the very least, important enough to show in their initial news reports, but rather than doing that and making the Native Americans look like the peacekeepers, which they were, which was why they were standing between the two groups, and Nathan Phillips did what he did, to keep the two groups separated. Then a day or two later they had Nathan Phillips on Good Morning America or one of those morning shows via satellite and was talking to him and they were only asking him about the students and never even mention the extremists. I wonder why... if people can seriously believe any of the media's bullshit, I genuinely pity them. There's no "all three are to blame" bullshit, responsibility needs to be taken instead of just trying to make all look equally responsible. That's what's wrong with this country, we are all a bunch of fat puffy pink pussies afraid to stand up for any Goddamn thing we believe in or to think for ourselves because being lazy and getting spoon-fed poison.
I'm so sick and tired of everyone believing everything the media tells them without doing their own research and developing their own opinions when all they are trying to do is keep the hate, violence, prejudice and all the other filth of the world swirling so they can have jobs. I feel like I have made my point and there is really nothing else to say. If you want to believe that all three groups were equally to blame, be my guest but unless you watch the video and made your own opinions, they are flawed because it sounds to me like you are strictly going by what the media is telling you that you should go by.
Now since considering yesterday after I made that post, you were on the message board several times and never felt the need to chime in then, but once I realize all I was doing was lighting a powder keg, I said let's change the subject, and I did. It's pretty convenient that you come and start this back up after I say that, isn't it? And before you say you just now saw it, I saw you viewing This Thread yesterday a few times after I made my post. If you want to keep on talking about it that's fine, but I'm done with it.
