- Go to MAGA HATS & GOOD TIMES
I had to look up MAGA hat. I didn't know they were being called that. After I saw what it was, I was not surprised at the other things you wrote.

Re: Pat.
Well, after my rant I saw the news again, and there are two sides to every story. Perhaps I should have all of the facts before I make comments.

Pat - That teen's behavior made my blood boil...
The quiet pride and dignity shown by the Native American man far surpassed the blatant ignorance and disgustingly simple-minded behavior of the teen. The Native shown like a beacon of humanity. The boy will have a negative stigma attached to him forever. Perhaps in time, because of his immaturity and youth, he will learn to become civilized. He is being shamed, whereas the Native is being (rightly) be praised.
What really ticks me off is that not all "whites" are representative of the insensitivity of that boy, that misfit, and certainly not all teens are being brought up to disrespect others. Yet the coverage of this kid would make the less knowledgeable think otherwise. Rrrhhh!

I thought that dear old Gentleman showed all the pride of his people when confronted with that priveledged white Buffoon. I am so sick and tired of all the racism and white supremacy, priveleged male dangerous stupidity, that has risen to the top of the swamp.....as scum usually does. What hurst the most to me is to see women screeching racism.

Holy Disrespect, Batman
As a white man who lived among the Lakota Sioux in North and South Dakota, I found the disrespect troubling and the continued dignity of the Native Americans in the midst of disrespect, awe-inspiring.
