Of course not but the viral videos on display are not conclusive evidence that every one of those kids come from a racist or intolerant home.

The hats are

They should really do something about people who wear read hats. Maybe there is a special camp they could put them in for people with red hats.

Going forward maybe the school should not allow MAGA hats to be worn, but to punish this kid now for wearing it, I don't agree with that. No, he shouldn't wear the hat. The school allowed it though.

Right, they allowed it so they need to be held accountable too, but he made a conscious decision to wear it, nobody forced him.

Of course the idea that it could be a Bad Actor distributing an out of context snippet of video to push an agenda, timed for maximum press exposure and minimal fact checking on a weekend, then signal boosted by unknown twitter accounts to go viral couldn't be anything but grass roots reportage?

Be curious to know if any of these bans get over turned for explicitly stating the conclusion that pretty much the entire rest of the world has come to on this

User Banned (3 Days): Trolling, drive-by comment, accumulated infractions

Have you guys seen the whole video? Seems to be painting a different story

User banned (1 week): trolling

The kids did absolutely nothing wrong here, the 105 min video of the entire event makes that very clear. They are the victims here and continuing to attack them and make baseless allegations says volumes about yourself and your mindset.

User Banned (5 Days): Downplaying Racism

Wearing a hat with a slogan embodying rhetoric of "put America's interests ahead of those of 'global partners and allies'" and "bring back jobs" and "cut back regulations", however wrong-headed, short-sighted, or ill-informed, is not "racist behavior".

User Banned (Duration Pending): Dismissing Concerns of White Supremacy; Concern Trolling Over a Series of Posts

I’ll be the first to say that this kid is a piece of shit for the maga hat alone. Watching that longer video though the Native drummer does just walk right up to him, while the kids were in the middle of some dumb high school cheering/jumping thing which didn’t seem racist. He kind of just looks like a moron who doesn’t know how to react. I hate that I am defending him in any way, because he is automatically a shitstain to wear that hat anywhere, least of all to where he knew there would be resistance, but I think the 10 second clip is being very taken out of context.

A lot of those "Black Israelite" groups are straight up black supremacists, so they obviously don't actually exist when you do the maths.

Those kids were there for a anti-abortion march, which is obviously consistent with being educated in a catholic school and catholic values against birth control, and are obviously also as a result skewed towards a US right wing perspective, but its their fucking right to peacefully assemble and protest whatever the fuck they want to, no matter what you might think of their beliefs.

"Make America Great Again" is such a fucking vapid political slogan that can mean almost anything to anyone that I find it ludicrous to state that it is the equivalent of a KKK hood, or assume there is no difference between wearing one or the other, or that their idea of "great" isn't more religious control over policy like teaching creationism, teaching abstinence instead of sex education, or whatever other things bible thumpers don't like about secularism.

I also find it fucking hilarious that the experts in human behaviour at era who don't know how to wipe their own ass or find someone willing to let them stick their pee-pees into va-jayjays / bumholes are now such experts in human interaction that they can discern the difference between bemusement - like if you're standing with a group of school peers and a dude comes up and starts banging a drum - and smug contempt.

Going on a march to try and stop people having safe access to a medical procedure that can go very badly wrong even in a clinical environment under a trained professional to the 'good old days' of back alleys and coat hangers is a pretty shitty thing to do in the first place, because the idea that abortions wouldn't happen or that people would have less sex if they couldn't is dumb as fuck, but they have a right to peaceful assembly, and if it makes them feel like they're fighting the good fight who cares?

Its a small c conservative reactionary symbol.
Of the superset of small c conservative reactionary beliefs, I have zero doubt 'being racist' is a subset. Probably a pretty big one.
If someone had some self awareness of how a MAGA hat might be being perceived as racist so removed it either out of shame or out of distancing himself from that perception because he doesn't consider himself to be racist, so what?

MAGA = KKK hood = anyone in a MAGA hat automatically gets what they deserve, no matter what they're actually doing because a hat flags them as a valid target for anything you want to do?

I will (still) not say is racist but is genuinely a symbol for “stupid asshole people”. No worth getting people harassed on the streets, just a sign of idiocy.

The secret is that the system hasn't let them down any more than anyone else, they just also really hate brown people and Trump spoke openly about disliking brown people.

So when it came time to choose between the guy who's racist vs Jeb, the choice practically made itself.

This is going to be the only time I draw parallels between gamergate and trump, but trump was running at least partially on a platform that a lot of politicians are corrupt muthafuckers only in it for themselves, which is a thing that a lot of people already know and feel powerless to do anything about, and the more 'the establishment' said 'anyone but trump' the more he gained legitimacy in that role.
Like a lot of early gamergate support came from the fact that most people know 'games journalism' is an absolute joke of kickbacks and nepotism.

Never rule it out. I mean, how many times has Trump been 'finished' during his time as a business man, the campaign and even the presidency.
Quite a number of people might want to 'renew the season'. Trump is not wrong when he says CNN/MSNBC etc. need him for the ratings.

What a RE perspective to have on things. Yes, racists voted for Trump. But so did a whole lot of other people for a lot of different reasons. Quick example: My sister was pro Trump because she's married to a cop, and while the entire country was throwing all cops under a bus and calling them all evil, finally someone was standing up and thanking them for their dangerous, thankless work. So yeah, given a choice between a President who won't stand against the people and media hating her husband for what other not-him cops have done, and a President who will, she chose the latter. And I don't blame her one bit.

But no, just cry "RACIST" just like every other shallow-minded hysterical RE poster.

Man, that's the point is that they can wear that hat and espouse everything it means while hiding their overt racism.

So many people are racist in America because our media and our parents and our politicians teach us to be racist. Listen, I'm not going to sit here and tell y'all that everyone who voted for Trump is a full-blown Tucker Carlson racist, but on the racism spectrum it certainly isn't a neutral action.
