Native American claims racial harassment by EMU students dressed as indians (same guy as MAGA mob)
Fox 2 Detroit ^ | April 22, 2015 | Dave Spencer

Posted on 01/20/2019 9:56:28 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

An Ypsilanti man says he was trying to teach a few students dressed in American Indian theme party about respecting Native Americans.

Not long afterward, Nathan Phillips said that an interaction with party-goers and students turned ugly. Nathan Phillips says he was out for a noon walk on a Saturday in mid-April.

He walked by a home where he saw Eastern Michigan University students dressed as Native Americans.

"They had little feathers on, I was just going to walk by," Phillips said. "A group of them said 'Come on over, come here.'"

He says he walked over to the fence and saw roughly 30 to 40 students involved in a theme party.

"They had their face painted," Phillips said. "I said what the heck is going on here. 'Oh we are honoring you.' I said no you are not honoring me."

It was a statement he says they took offense to.

"Then started whooping and hollering," he said. "I said that wasn't honoring, that was racist. Then at that time, it really got ugly."

TOTAL lie:

The guy ran up to the kid and aggressively started banging a drum right in his face.

They didn’s re-shade the incident:

They turned white in to pitch black.

Cultural appropriation? Or is that reserved for whites only?

Activist Indians understand The White Guilt Complex provides an easy narrative for them to plug their own $pecious claims into, then get free coverage, sympathy and maybe compen$ation.

It’s Wounded Knee in reverse, basically, except that it never ends.

Grievance Elite.

...

"(They said) 'Go back to the reservation, you blank indian,'" he said.

One student, he says, threw a beer can at him.

...

"By the time police got there, it was like there was no party there at all," he said.

Yes - because the most trustworthy thing on the planet is a far left wing activist with a boldly stated agenda.

They always tell the truth. :)

C’mon, this guy is just doing his job. Communist agit prop.

It’s mainstream now, more so than ever.

Rectangular diagonal thing is the edge of an indian drum.

AlchyCasinoSmoker strided up to Pale Face, then started banging like hell on his drum.

Who is the aggressor..?

The kid assaulted him with his SMILE...?

From the article:

Why did Phillips go over to the fence? Why not just walk away?

Why aren't liberals ever asked this question when they attack a conservative?

There is another article her now that gives a totally different view of this incident. It looks like the boys were wearing MAGA hats, and that is probably why the news is slanted against them. But FOX?

FOX is actually about as bad as any of the other compromised media.

Chief, there was no harassment.

Ive never understood the special treatment given to the Indians. Some much of the history taught in schools is wrong and made them the victims and this is not true.

Do Indians sometimes wear “white man” clothes?

Why yes, they do.

Just another setup by radical left AIM.

I have sympathy for Indians in general, they are broken people.

Their leaders are to blame, and their problems are self-inflicted.

Eventually they will be absorbed and extinct like most other similar tribes around the world.
