Yes, we see this is the new mentally ill talking point.

This point doesn't hold when it is pointed out that the KKK is about on par with membership as well.

That doesn't matter. Kids were compared to the KKK, so they must be killed.

Black Privilege is a real thing.

I agree. I mean these guys are one step below terrorists in my book.
They were the provacateuers yet they are only mentioned as a "black religious group".

I mean, they’re the only ones actually captured on tape saying bigoted and profane things in the whole incident.

Where’s their media scrutiny? Any blue check marks wishing to punch them in the face? Any reporters sit them down and ask if they want to apologize?

I agree with you on this. Only thing I can say is that if you've lived in NY, you know these guys are viewed as a complete joke (and harmless). I've gotten in back and forths several times with them over the years - they're just funny idiots. One of their "colored tribes of Israel" on their placard is the Puerto Ricans.

Now, having said all of this, if it were equally dopey white guys, they would be treated by the media as the tip of the spear of some massive, organized white supremacy thing instead of the idiots that they were. There is simply no question about that.

Is that where they are? I've seen videos of black dudes harassing people on the street in NYC talking about some outlandish stuff.

That's where I used to see them, but I'd assume they are in a lot of big cities. Literally, Mexicans and Puerto Ricans were on the board as being separate biblical tribes. That was my favorite thing for years.

Doesn't speak well to the IQ of the average New Yorker then.

Screaming racial epithets at the top of your lungs on a street corner while trying to provoke decent people is a concern to normal folk.
