    That’s what the smirk was all about: knowing that society will always protect them from consequences so long as they have the thinnest pretext.

    “My parents are loaded and they’re gonna buy my way into college. I can be as racist as I want, it’ll be written off as naive and even white liberals will shill for me to prove how reasonable they are.”

    One strong taboo in our society is the idea that privileged should face consequences for their behavior, especially if it's white racist behavior.

    You're assuming he saw this, which is an unfair assumption.

    It is absolutely fair to believe Covington kids knew exactly what they were doing. Is it possible some weren't so much racist as assholes seeing what they could get away with? Absolutely, but that doesn't make it acceptable.

    Sports teams have "whiteouts", "blackouts", "redouts" and the like all the time when the players dress all in one color and the fans for the most part do the same, with the added possibility of body paint, etc.

    Check the color of the shirts fans are wearing. In other words . . . think.

    Last time Trump spent 90 seconds with something, he ended up paying her $130k.

    You really think that painting exaggerated white lips and white eyes on a black face is okay?

    Also, if they didn't know this was wrong, why did the school student section take down their YouTube video that included images of their students in blackface? Not something an innocent, naive person does. It's more like the action of someone who knows they're wrong and wants to try to hide the evidence.

    So why the white lines around the mouth and eyes?

    I don't know. And, frankly, I didn't notice that detail until you pointed it out. Yeah, that part makes me wonder, I'll admit it tends to increase the chance of it not being mistake.

    See, I can concede a point. You might try it sometime.
