New rule from our friends on the authoritarian left: If you're going to publicly support President Trump, you better be careful where you do it.
Only in the comfort of your home, says the Black Entertainment Television website. "In light of recent events," it intoned on Monday, "Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again' hats have become taboo to wear in public."
The BET website was writing about an incident last Saturday in which two white teens from Pennsylvania in town for a field trip went into the Howard University cafeteria for lunch wearing pro-Trump paraphernalia. Both had MAGA hats they had bought the previous day at Pentagon City Mall in Virginia, and one was wearing a pro-Trump T-shirt.
Students at Howard, an historically black college in Washington, D.C., did not even wait for the girls to get their lunch before setting upon them. One student grabbed one of the girl’s hats; another said "F--- y’all." Others stared and made comments, according to the girls.
Finally, the scene grew so uncomfortable that the chaperones on the trip decided to find lunch elsewhere. But the media was all too quick to blame the victims.
"The teenagers who wore MAGA hats to Howard aren’t martyrs for free speech," screeched a Washington Post headline. "These White Women Wore Trump Hats To Howard University And Tried To Play Victim After Getting Called Out," said the BET website.

The last time I came across one in the news was, yep, a government hack, a woman that was a senior manager at the Boston subway system. PhD from Howard, btw.
Her major accomplishment was tripling(?) the size of her travel budget. Didn't accomplish much as an AA hire at other transportation agencies in other states, either, iirc.
I think she went to work for BHO his last year or two.
We know democrat thugs and goons are out there gunning for us... and their butt boys in the press will defend the violence they do to us ... but we don't give a damn.
We'll fight democrats thugs...
"We shall defend our party, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."
When I last looked, blacks were about 13% of the population, but over 17% of government employees. Some oppression!
I prefer "We shall defend our PRINCIPLES", since our party may not always reflect them.
You're right ... it was a lifted quote from Churchill... I chose the wrong word... PRINCIPLES are much better. Would NOT want to go to the mats for John McCain and Lindsey Graham etc.
Obviously the bammy’s daughters get a free pass to be violent and racist. How much of our money goes to racists?
Yes
It was on live TV
Called out for.... for....
Saw it live on TV with the entire black HOWARD audience standing and cheering
Isn’t this Comey’s new employer?
Oh, I believe you!
Oh, that would be perfect and they obviously have a common enemy.
