They have to keep the narrative going that these kids were irredeemably racist, despite the truth.
Treacherous Trio:
1. Confirmation Bias
2. Cognitive Dissonance
3. Motivated Reasoning
It was obviously one of those uncomfortable smiles one has when one doesn’t know what to do in a strange situation. He was actually a lot calmer than I would be if I had a savage banging a drum and howling in my face.
They use the word “smile” as a dog whistle for “white face”
The facial expression is that of silent courage in the face of treacherous racially aged adversity.
The photo depicts the future inoring the past.
Ironically, the past doesn’t understand that a red MAGA hat wearing young man is destroying the effect of the abusive racially charged outmoded efforts.
Even the “conservative” blogs were dutifully reporting that this kid had a “smirk” on his face. Do they understand how loaded that term is? Are they too stupid to understand that they are promoting the Leftist narrative? So besotted with Stockholm Syndrome that they can’t fully condemn the MSM narrative — they have to concede that the kids were being “jerks”? Or laughably playing up their “credibility” as even handed analysts with a “well, maybe the kids were wrong too” side of their articles. Most of the media response to this incident, including the “conservative” media response, has ranged from the pathetic to the criminal.
B-b-but, but, but....he SMIRKED!
If you have ever been through basic training, you would immediately recognize that smile but none of our well-learned press has ever whiffed the inside of a barracks on inspection day.
It’s proof of anti-white racism.
This story is like the Kavanaugh story or a dozen others.
You see that which reinforces your opinion, because doing so causes the least discomfort.
Nobody likes to be wrong. So people will view ambiguous information in a way that confirms that they were right all along.
Thus, Sandmann’s smile is a disrespectful smirk if you are pro-choice and opposed to Trump , and an uncomfortable attempt at non-confrontation if you are pro-Life and support Trump.
Your reaction says more about you than it says about the actual facts.
Apparently not, you drug addled hippy...
...I liked the song back in the day, though.
This Covington incident is the rorschach test of 2019. It says more about the viewer than the “ink blot” video.
People are so hung up on the pitiful small things in life... it’s astounding how small people are.. and how they’d crumble if had to deal with something significant!!!!!!
I know a mother who lost 2 of her sons on Christmas eve from a drunk driver hitting their car. 2 sons in one memorable night.. sudden and final. Deal with such and see what is important!
What, pray tell, does a look that ‘might be racism’ have to do with anything ... how can this story get so many hours and so much write up and opinion? Who cares what the look was or what it meant.... you all need to have something happen to you that makes your world turn upside down and never be the same again... to get a grip on what is important what is just fluff to be ignored!
I lost my husband suddenly and within a couple of months, went through nearly 2 years dealing with a son and leukemia... all my energies went to try to save my son... but it literally takes a healthy body and destroys it. We talked... I listened to him talk about how he was losing the battle. He was so sick and in his hospital bed, had to fight with his insurance to keep them from trying to drop him... and a brother who is a lawyer helped. but no one out there cares a whit about you, but yourself and your family. life is hard... sometimes it’s unbearble.. and I am out of patience with people who spend all day writing about something that doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. Instead of being thankful they have not been hit with a disaster.. they want to bellyache over NOTHING.
Losing my son was the worst thing that can happen to a mom... he was my go to son.. he was the thoughtful one... he was kind and the best... God took him.. in spite of all the prayers... but I know where he is.
I just can’t tolerate small stuff you guys think are worth your time. Trump has his hands full trying to save this nation! I wish his enemies had something else to spend their time on... something serious... to take up their idle time... for they are empty!!
God help us survive the gossipers and the enemy within... for they are led by the devil himself!
