A sea of racist hats
Boys will be boys. White boys will be white boys. Racist white boys will be racist white boys. Racist white boys from all-boy Catholic high schools will be racist shits, apparently.
Covington Catholic High School faced backlash on social media Saturday morning after video was posted and widely shared showing a tense incident involving indigenous marchers and a group of young men in Washington, D.C.
The video shows a young man wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap standing near and staring at a man who is drumming as other young men surrounding them cheer and chant. Some of the onlookers appear to wear clothing bearing insignia from Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills.
Covington Catholic High School is in Kentucky, near Cincinatti.

The man with the drum was participating in an Indigenous Peoples March, according to people who posted about the incident.
The boys from the Catholic school were there for the anti-women’s rights march. Of course they were. “Pro-life” my ass.
Religion is a crock of shit, a way for people to be savages under the pretense of moral superiority.
“Racist shits” is exactly right. How obnoxious can you be to just stand in front of somebody smirking at them like that for so long? I hope that kid at least gets expelled.
Could anyone make out what was being chanted? The story said they were chanting “build that wall” at some point, but in the video they sound like they’re chanting something else…
I hope Little Mr. MAGA enjoys his fifteen minutes of fame as a racist asshole being defended by Mr. Good People on Both Sides. His deliberate violation of the personal space of the drummer is emblematic of White encroachment in the “New” World.
A perfect encapsulation, however, would have left the man with the drum dead.
The chant is “CovCath is the best”. It’s mostly that repeated, with a few extra words I can’t make out.
So they were trying to overwhelm the singing with a chant about their school. Lovely.
The school will be punishing students, up to expulsion:

That smirking asshole had better be permanently expelled. He’s even worse than it appears in the video, because he came to be in front of the drummer by stepping in front of him to block him as he was leading a procession.
Yes, I just quoted the Washington Post’s account that said that, in a later post.
The repeated words seem to be “CCS! CCS!”.
It’s extra depressing because that kid will probably grow up to be president or otherwise bigly influential. I cannot see a single obstacle to that happening.
