Trump remarks caused the racist attack on a respected Native American and he will cause others!

‘It was getting ugly’: Native American drummer speaks on the MAGA-hat wearing teens who surrounded him

The images in a series of videos that went viral on social media Saturday showed a tense scene near the Lincoln Memorial.

The encounter generated a wave of outrage on social media less than a week after President Trump made light of the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre of several hundred Lakota Indians by the U.S. Cavalry in a tweet that was meant to mock Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D), who Trump derisively calls “Pocahontas.”

In them, a Native American man steadily beats his drum at the tail end of Friday’s Indigenous Peoples March while singing a song of unity for indigenous people to “be strong” in the face of the ravages of colonialism that now include police brutality, poor access to health care and the ill effects of climate change on reservations.

Surrounding him are a throng of young, mostly white teenage boys, several wearing Make America Great Again caps, with one standing about a foot from the drummer’s face also wearing a relentless smirk.

If those kids don’t get a disciplining lesson out of this they will be even more emboldened. To think the school had their students attending anti right to choose says everything.

We don’t need to call them brown shirts anymore to make the connection to Fascism and Nazi Germany. They already have a uniform. The MAGA hats.
