The "black muslims" defense

This seems to be where the supporters of the Kentucky brats are going, that they were just defending themselves from "black muslims" and the Native American gentleman just got in the way. It's like the kid's mom's brain broke, and she blurted out the two things that scared her most.

(In reality, I think there was a Five Percenter group nearby, and the idea of calling them "Muslims" is so hilarious I don't even know what to do)

1. It's not just the mom's brain that broke. Some here are suggesting it's much more understandable

They were force fed racism at home, school, church and their community. When they saw the members of the Black Hebrew Israelites they saw only the color of their skin and not a fellow religious group that shared similar beliefs.

"Black Hebrew Israelites (also called Black Hebrews, African Hebrew Israelites, and Hebrew Israelites) are groups of Black Americans who believe that they are descendants of the ancient Israelites. Black Hebrews adhere in varying degrees to the religious beliefs and practices of both Christianity and Judaism."

They are lost, and today's generation of young people will be the surly, hateful old bigots of tomarrow.

The chaperones either were not there or allowed that to go on. Either way they were not doing their job.
