Nicholas Sandmann Statement

I'll leave it to others to poke holes in this kids explanation. What struck me was his claim that CCHS students are respectful of all races. I suppose it's remotely possible but every photo I've seen of the crowd of kids, especially the ones wearing MAGA gear and all the photos I've found of CCHS groups on their website are 99.9% devoid of POC. Coincidence?

Yeah, red hats are kind of like Southners waving confederate flag claiming they aren't racist. Hoyt Jan 2019 #4
Sorry. If you are wearing a MAGA hat, you have no right to claim that you aren't racist. smirkymonkey Jan 2019 #7

Although there aren’t many black Catholics in Cincinnati area, there have to be plenty of Hispanic Catholics. No reason why there aren’t any in that school.

But what minority would want to hang out with MAGAhats?

That hat is basically a modern version of the swastika. These little punks knew exactly what kind of message they were putting out.
