The images in a series of videos that went viral on social media Saturday showed a tense scene near the Lincoln Memorial. In them, a Native American man steadily beats his drum at the tail end of Fridays Indigenous Peoples March while singing a song of unity for indigenous people to be strong in the face of the ravages of colonialism that now include police brutality, poor access to health care and the ill effects of climate change on reservations. Surrounding him are a throng of young, mostly white teenage boys, several wearing Make America Great Again caps, with one standing about a foot from the drummers face wearing a relentless smirk.

the kid was brave and someone I would want on my team.
Name called. And more often just blocked.
It’s amazing. The irrationality and groupthink.
Again correct. Tonto miscalculated. Firewater will make you do that.
” the ravages of colonialism that now include police brutality, poor access to health care and the ill effects of climate change on reservations.”
So wants to go back to health care before the white man came?
Nothing is stopping him from using native American medicine!
“the ill effects of climate change on reservations”
just more pro-gloBULL warming propaganda from WaPo.
This is all over Facebook. I admit, I have not read the article as the libs are all over it and the hatred they display of POTUS has become much more intense.
I stay far from their rhetoric.
He is either a liar or uneducated about indigenous people in North America and walls.
Maybe he was from a tribe so lacking technology, they never built walls.
The Spaniards exploring North America found plenty of walls.

***Indigenous Peoples March while singing a song of unity for indigenous people****
In the olden days before the WHITE MAN came, every tribe was trying it’s best to massacre the next door tribe.
This is just two links of dozens I have to inter-tribal warfare and cannibalism before the Evil White Man came and stopped all that.

Or all of the minority youfs getting killed by OTHER minority youfs. WITH STOLEN GUNS and stealing guns is illegal.
Did you listen to it?
Worst rendition of Yellow Submarine I ever heard.
This Ringo Starr wannabe needs some music lessons.
WP won’t let us read unless we pay. But the video is here:

It looks like a group of boys watching a performance and having fun with each other. A woman makes a comment about them acting like a mob.
Did something happen before the video started? Otherwise, if anyone’s harassing anyone, it looks as if the drummer is harassing the boy.
Go to DemocraticUnderground and you can see actual calls for the smiling kid to be murdered.
The sooner we realize we cannot coexist with these Marxists loons, the better off we will be.
Tonto appeared from outside the group and worked his way in. Got in the kids face drumming and wailing to drown out school spirit cherrs by a bunch of cold teenagers waiting for their bus
Watch the whole video
Tonto was an obnoxious old fart
Someone remind Tonto his peoples history of open borders didnt work out for them
I saw the video of a Native American drummer being “surrounded” by a group of smiling teens. I did not hear any taunts or see any attacks or violence directed at him. Yet this is being portrayed as some sort of assault.
IIRC, This man is a member of Russell Means organization that occupied Alcatraz Island some years ago.
AIM left-wing radicals looking for coverage, ignore.
What a ridiculous nothingburger. The kids are smiling or being goofy, or lightly teasing him. They’re very young, and if anything immature. But this guy approached them to get in their faces, he’s a leftist and he’s making a big drama for nothing.
