They are mad cause he didn’t say sorry. Sorry for what standing in place and not frowning while white? Phillips entered his space.
It’s all about the hat and the ‘smirk’. Someone posted yesterday a quote from 1984. That ‘smirk’ was called ‘FACECRIME’ in the book. I watched the video and Mr Sandmann was trying to defuse the situation while not backing down. The ‘elder Native American’ was trying to provoke him and he didn’t react the way the vulgar hecklers and Phillips wanted. The ‘smirk’ was Mr Sandmann trying not to react, but also being a bit fearful of what the ‘Black Hebrew Israelites’ might do. The agitators were all ADULTS. I am proud of the way the BOYS reacted, not wanting to get into a fight with the ADULTS.
