The actions of these kids are what the Catholic Church continues to be and why I will stay away. Intolerant and controlling. This IS NOT what Christ preached.

(268,976 posts)I thought of my parents and grandparents and how they made us understand the notion of respect for others, particularly those older than ourselves.
Forget all the racist implications - they don't even understand basic decency - fugging deplorables.

(10,952 posts)He might very well have saved the black boys that the white boys were going after.He could see that the situation could easily get out of hand and the white boys might have torn the black boys to pieces. He stepped in which was very brave.
I know he made the comment of where were the chaperones. I didn't catch his response when Joy asked him if some of the boys from the Catholic School should be expelled. I would say, after listening to him give the full story, some of those boys should be expelled.

(46,166 posts)The Catholic school kids kept leaving the area and returning with more and more of their classmates surrounding the black kids in ever growing numbers. Phillips sized up the situation and decided to implore god with prayer to quell the violence that he felt was imminent.
He and his group were diverting the negativity of the school boys. Bless them.

(26,068 posts)For causing it, and Elder Phillips for causing it by approaching the MagaKIds, who were just minding their own business -- Youtube already has Alt-Right annotated videos up. The Black Israelite group have their own video showing what happened.

(46,166 posts)The Catholic school kids kept leaving the area and returning with more and more of their classmates and surrounding a very small group of black kids. Phillips thought that violence was going to break out so he and his group stepped up to pray.
This is what I heard Phillips tell Joy Reid a few minutes ago on her MSNBC Sunday show. And please see my Reply #17.

(58,724 posts)In this Detroit Free Press article, he is quoted as saying the following:
https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2019/01/20/native-american-leader-nathan-phillips-recounts-incident-video/2630256002/
He seems to be saying that the black people in question were older adults and not kids in that quote.

(46,166 posts)Thanks for the details. My initial impression was that they were youths. It's indecent no matter what the age of the victims. But it's good to be clear about the details.
