Hi Clifford,
Believe it or not, CBS News actually did a pretty good job covering this mess. They mentioned the questionable behavior of both the high school students and the black protesters. IMHO, there are no good guys here with the exception of the elderly Native American guy with the drum.
AS for the hat and what it says, Trump is in no way "making America great again." He is actually driving us closer and closer to civil war.

Subject: Re: [acb-chat] [blind-democracy] Re: Hatred, intimidation and make America white again
It appears this subject has linked together both ACB Chat and Blind Democracy.
It's interesting to see that each of us bends this story to suit our own political bias'.
For the record, the Media referred to here, is the property of the American Oligarchy. The networks and the publishing Houses are owned by those with a vested stake in protecting the Establishment. Donald Trump is a master at manipulating the Media. Like a tornado, he has spun so many stories that the Media falls over its own tongues trying to keep up with him. Keeping America stirred up and turning different factions against one another is part of an age old formula for success...Divide and Conquer!
While we are bickering over who said what and who did what, the Ruling Class is busy battening down the hatches.
It's difficult to believe that the American Empire could keep a straight face when it announces that it is going about the world preaching Peace and democracy. Do we really want to point to our own national mess and tell the world that this is what democracy looks like?
