Princeton professor and professional race-baiter for MSNBC Eddie Glaude spoke with host Craig Melvin on MSNBC Live Wednesday morning to bash the Covington kids as symptoms of white privilege. Yes, getting your name, image, school and family smeared all over television and online, while receiving death threats is apparently a symptom of “white privilege,” or at least that’s what Glaude tried to argue. Melvin also claimed that anyone wearing a MAGA hat was asking for trouble.
After the media reluctantly acknowledged that additional videos contradicted many of the horrible claims made about the Covington kids over the weekend, Glaude and Melvin wondered if the kids deserved to be able to defend themselves to the media. Glaude claimed black kids were never given the benefit of the doubt by the media while white kids were always given second chances by the media:
I think more than anything, underneath some of the backlash against hearing the young man is this question, who are allowed the innocence of childhood, right?...Why do we always do this in these sorts of cases, when white boys are involved, and what do we do, how do we react when brown and black kids are involved?
Later he added
So underneath this is this sense of hypocrisy. Underneath this is a double standard. Underneath this is that we give privilege to these white kids. He can sit down with Savannah Guthrie and redeem himself, but then there are all these other folk who we just presume, you know, who aren't so innocent
Melvin responded that Glaude’s race-baiting “made a lot of sense,” before slamming Nick Sandmann for not saying “I’m sorry” in his NBC Today show interview Wednesday morning.
Glaude then went on a rant about masculinity that would fit well into a Gillette ad before bashing Sandmann for not “responsibility for what happened.” Melvin moved on to ask about the MAGA hats, actually saying that just by wearing one you were “inviting” a “confrontation:”
That hat has become symbolic of a lot of things in this country. To some, it is nearly a hat that dons a political slogan that the president popularized. For others, it has become an invitation for confrontation. Some people referred to the hat as a modern day version of the confederate battle flag. Do we think that the same reaction would have been had on both sides if he weren't wearing that hat?
MSNBC: If You Wear a MAGA Hat You're 'Inviting' a 'Confrontation,' KKK
Glaude invoked radical left-wing actress Alyssa Milano, who called the red hats a modern-day symbol of the KKK. Glaude also smeared the boys by repeating debunked claims that they shouted “build the wall,” as well as a dubious video posted by a liberal activist that shows an unidentified group of boys yelling at her, as the Covington kids:
Probably not. There was a sense in which the hat announced a certain set of political commitments. Alyssa Milano the actress I think described the hat as a modern day white sheet. I think that's how she described it. The hat in some ways for many of us a kind of racial animus...Make America great again is a kind of nostalgic longing for the 1950s...which black people were to stay in their place, where browns were to stay in their place, and white people were to be treated differently and valued according to the color of their skin. Yes, I think if the hats weren't involved, it might not have been as intense. But there were also words. There were a lot of people who said that, you know, build the wall, build the wall, said that was shouted. We saw footage later on of the young men cat calling at young women walking by.
I expect they will be some of the first dead if a war breaks out..idiots, war is hell
That just shows how brain dead libs are.. and look how many buy it..
It is. I am thinking about buying one and I don’t even like to wear baseball caps but I just might.
F these people. This is all BS, don’t be fooled. They are the morons stuck in the 50s. LOL!!
While they love to claim they are the wave of the future, it is they that are representatives of, and clinging to, the failed policies of the past. In that sense they can be looked at as “conservatives”, because they are the ones attempting to maintain the status quo.
They do have a narrative they have to stick to. That’s what they get paid to do. No deviation from that is tolerated nor allowed. The narrative does not stand up to the facts, nor history.
In point of fact, in the time period this asshat mentions - the1950s - the black family was, in just about every metric you want to measure, way better off than today. They won’t tell you that, they don’t want you to know that. The liberals started the “Great Society” social spending programs and things started going off the rails within a generation or two.
Lyndon Baines Johnson said “We’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for 100 years”.
How many fights were Obama bumper stickered Prius drivers and “I’m with her” apparel wearers cause with their display of whatever social crime we never accused them of?
None? That’s right. Conservatives don’t get triggered to fight someone over their free speech.
Lots of MAGA hats worn here in Arkansas. Many Confederate Battle Flags still fly here too.
But you are absolutely correct to suggest that what the Rats have done to this country in regards to "diversity of political expression" is beyond disgusting.
More media and Democrats pitting whites as the new Jews. That’s what this is all about. Socialists wanting to rekindle the ovens.
Me neither Ben. The troubled Indian should still be in surgery getting that drum removed from his butt.
The studio from where that broadcast originated along with the “reader” making that pronouncement should be confronted with noisy confrontational protests. Along with when they’re there where they hangout.
RE:It’s only a matter of time before the MSM-Democrats start explicitly inciting violence against conservative Americans using mass communications, as was done against the Tutsi minority in Rwanda.
They are getting ready to do it. They are practicing, and getting their rationalizations in place in the public mind.

Exactly correct. Maxine and Obama’s “get right up in their faces” talk can now be linked with violent outcomes. But the corrupt, lying MSM will claim total amnesia about all that.
All the stories will be about dog whistle trained Trump fans now shooting back at leftist attackers. The meanies. Don’t they know conservatives are supposed to fold? Not fight!
I just ordered two more today too. I misplaced my last one.

Ones with bullet holes in them are going for discount prices. These are tough times for conservatives.
Me too! Just the sight of Obama makes me want to do an acid eye wash.
Tell them the MAGA hat is the long hair of the 60s. See how they respond to that.
When I wear my MAGA hat, I often go out of my way to be pleasant and helpful to others, especially those of certain strong democrat demographics. Hold doors, smile, greet people etc. so they see that we’re not the mean nasty ogres the media and liberals have programmed them to believe we are.

My whole life has been like that and I know it is futile and useless to be a good little boy(age 72). No leftist pats me on the head and treats me kindly (I’m not talking about good conservative people-—just worthless lowlife globalist Dem scum—to put it gently.)
Leftists are totally prejudiced and biased against us. They are not approachable by kindness or good deeds. They will say unemotionally “he had it coming-—he’s a Trump supporter” as they see us pushed into a semi to be taken out to be executed. Then “Hey, I just got a tweet from Jared. He wants us to come over and see his new gaming chair.” “Great, let’s go.”
However, God sees all good deeds you perform and He is pleased. I just read that in a Bible commentary book. The word “chesed” in Hebrew is a deed of lovingkindness. We should keep them up regardless of being around filthy Dem vermin.
Now I know why my sweet 2=year old granddaughter gets so pugnacious when she wears her MAGA hat.
I wear my USAF retired hat I thought that was enough. I guess ill have to buy a MAGA hat now!
my property has been damaged due to my having made known my political philosophy.

No conservative will hurt you and it will be a suit of armor when leftists vandalize or threaten lives of you or yours.
Once I had a car with several parts of the engine totally wrecked and taken out. I had parked it and someone took exception to my political bumper stickers, I am certain. Not worth it.
Remember: we do not have freedom of speech or expression in this country.
If your heart trouble and metal hips prevent you from battling young thugs please don’t advertise for trouble. Times are getting really bad for us.
I feel close to you from reading your posts for a long time before I signed up here and I feel protective toward you.
Stay safe.
Bingo! That is exactly what it is.
The press has been doing this in numerous ways for two years now.
;)
I got one that also says Merry Christmas on the back. With a flag on the side.
