This story has Trumped the Trump page, and I think it deserves it's own thread.
I was just like the majority of people upon seeing the original video. The teen from Covington with his smirk disrespecting the Native Elder. After hearing more, IMO, there is culpability within all of these groups. I've been dismayed by people grasping at straws to make sure that whichever video fits their narrative is the real, true perspective. I've seen people (my very liberal friends) post about the Covington culture with the boys dressed in black and black-face at their basketball games and holding up the three-finger white supremacists code (not realizing it signals a three-point basket). My very conservtaive friends post about the rush to judgment.
I'm so tired of every time something like this comes about we have to make it fit our narrative. We've lost the ability to see other perspectives. We can no longer critically think. We can no longer nuance any subject, everything has to have a dividing line.
So folks, please give me your percentages of whose at fault. You can add others than the three listed.
