This is becoming increasingly common:
www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/syrian-refugee-along-sister-attacked-classmates-says-dont-feel-safe-school-235558713.html“The same day the video went viral on social media of Jamal being attacked, his sister was also attacked. She had her headscarf ripped off in the playground. This is despite us complaining to the school about the abuse. She has also attempted suicide and tried to cut her wrists. The level of bullying got [to be] so much.”
In a video posted on Wednesday and shot at Almondbury Community School in Huddersfield in northern England, Jamal’s unnamed sister is pushed to the ground by a girl while another, much bigger student tackles her and tears off her pink headscarf.
On Oct. 25, the girl’s 15-year-old brother, Jamal, was also attacked by a 16-year-old student, who now faces criminal charges. In the recording of that incident, Jamal walks across a field wearing an arm cast when an unnamed student suddenly head-butts him, pushing him to the ground. “I’ll drown you,” the bully says, strangling Jamal and pouring water on his face.
...
Jamal told ITV that he was disappointed by the response from law enforcement, who suggested that he change schools to avoid further conflict. “It was really bad, and I didn’t see no reaction from school,” said the boy. “I don’t feel safe at school. Sometimes I say to my dad, ‘I don’t want to go to school anymore.’ I was just crying, and I did nothing because I respect the school rules.”
www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/syrian-refugee-hospitalized-concussion-high-school-beating-youre-lucky-youre-another-language-will-crush-010155632.htmlA Syrian teen had reportedly been attacked in a high school bathroom and hospitalized with a concussion.
Facebook user Alexis Work posted a video Saturday of a blond girl wearing a lavender sweater beating a 14-year-old student wearing a hijab inside a bathroom at Chartiers Valley High School in Bridgeville, Pa. According to Pittsburgh station WTAE, the girl wanted to vape inside the stall occupied by the Muslim student, who said it wasn’t allowed.
The blond girl said, according to Newsweek, “You’re lucky you’re from another language because I will crush you,” then pummeled the 14-year-old in the head. “I’m not punching you, you punched me first,” yelled the victim. The blond girl continued attacking the student, even as she fell to the floor and screamed, “Leave me alone.
Anyone want to bet against the bullies having been sent Alt-Right "Remove Kebab" memes at some point in the past? If they are doing this now, what will they be doing to refugees in a few years' time? And what if they are allowed to reproduce? You do know traits like these are heritable, I hope:
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6450755/Mother-school-bully-waterboarded-Syrian-refugee-playground-convicted-racist.htmlMother of 'school bully who waterboarded a Syrian refugee on the playground' is a convicted racist who spat at a chip shop owner and called him a 'P**i terrorist'
...
The alleged bully's brother was jailed after a Britain First rally erupted in violence
They are the ones who need to be removed. Their entire bloodlines need to be wiped out.
The family's lawyer says they are 'extremely grateful' for the amount raised, but will be using it to move out of their home.
Mr Akunjee told the MailOnline: 'They will be using this money to relocate from Huddersfield.
They don't want to live there anymore, the level of abuse the children have received has become too much.
This is the worst possible reaction. If you leave, the bullies will interpret it as success in "Removing Kebab", and be encouraged to bully other refugees so that they leave too. In other words, by running away, you are placing every other refugee in greater danger. The only correct response is to stand your ground and respond to initiated violence with retaliatory violence to a degree beyond anything the bullies imagined. They tear off your headscarf? You tear off their faces. They waterboard you? You water CURE them:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cure_(torture)
They give you concussion? You give them the zombie skull treatment:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sledgehammer
In so doing, you not only avenge yourself, but also save countless other people who might otherwise have become victims in future but who will now be safe because you taught not just your own bullies but also every other potential bully out there to think twice before bullying refugees. Such an accomplishment is surely more than worth a prison sentence in exchange?

Teenage Trump supporters were recently filmed as a mob harassing an elderly native american man:

What else do you expect from Western civilization? This has been nothing but
normal Western behaviour all over the world for the last ~500 years. How do you think they turned America into part of the West in the first place? Only at the height of the Counterculture era were attitudes somewhat better, and that era is over now, and things are merely
back to normal.Anyone wearing a MAGA hat in public deserves retaliatory violence, as by now what the hat represents is clear to all. Until this happens, the bullying will just keep getting worse, and worse, until one day we suddenly find the ending of The Turner Diaries has become real life. You have been warned.

I remember during the election ZCs were claiming victimhood by pointing out how Trump supporters were being targeted for wearing MAGA hats. Even though I was still a teenager, I remember intuitively knowing this was bullshit, and how it was psychologically reminiscent of Jews claiming to being the victims of terrorism.

A MAGA hat worn in the US is equivalent to a Star of David worn in Palestine.
Also, Sandmann is now trying to deny being a racist, and has shut down his Twitter, but a quick search shows what his username looks like:

Note the "It's OK to be white" hand sign (as if his MAGA hat were not evidence enough already.....).

theconcourse.deadspin.com/dont-doubt-what-you-saw-with-your-own-eyes-1831931203
Two days ago, video was posted online that pretty much everyone who saw immediately recognized for what it was—footage of white teens taunting and harassing a Native American elder named Nathan Phillips on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. What was happening was clear and unmistakable, not just resonant but immediately recognizable as iconic. If you wanted to compress the history of relations between the powerful and the powerless in America, or the dynamics of the current moment, into a single image, you couldn’t do much better than to present a white teen in a MAGA hat, surrounded by a screaming horde of his peers, smirking into the face of an old Native American man.
Perhaps—probably—because what had happened was so undeniable, it was immediately denied. Right-wing trolls not only immediately proposed that the visibly aggressive teens, who were draped in the symbols of white nationalism and misogyny, were in fact the aggressed upon, but began a campaign of brutal online harassment against anyone—especially journalists and especially female journalists—who accurately described what they had seen, or reacted to it on the terms it deserved.
...
Last night, the smirking teen, Nick Sandmann, was identified in a statement issued in his name by the publicity firm his parents hired for him, in which he suggested that he was in fact the victim in the situation.
The reaction to Soave’s story and to the public-relations firm’s statement was as depressing at it was predictable: Respectable news organizations and journalists, to whom being seen as balanced, level-headed, and more attuned to context and contingency than the reactive social-media mob is more important than reporting the most accurate version of the truth as best they can tell it, backed off, following Reason’s lead and doing the work of the gibbering masturbators who had risen up in defense of the MAGA teens. They were all too happy to say that the sky was not blue if it meant burnishing their credentials as serious and objective, and fell over each other to back away from what was right in front of their eyes.

I remember watching this cartoon film in school a decade ago:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Friend_Martin
The film, although simple, manages to broadcast anti racist propaganda in an effective manner. Even then as a child, I remember intuitively being disgusted by racist behavior. Unfortunately, the educational institutions did not supply me with logical arguments to substantiate anti racism. This is partly why racism has become popular in the post 9/11 era.

Here is an article that understands the MAGA hat symbolism:
www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/1/22/18192933/covington-catholic-maga-teen-nick-sandmann-hatmany writers placed the image within the canon of photographs from American history in which a white man smiles jeeringly at peaceful protesters of color. Ruth Graham wrote at Slate that it’s “the face that sneers, ‘What? I’m just standing here,’ if you flinch or cry or lash out. The face knows that no matter how you react, it wins.”
...
MAGA hats, however, hold special significance for some middle and high school students.
...
Students wearing the caps, like the group from Covington, often repeat the slogans that the president built his campaign around. “Fake news” and “build the wall” became their own memes, pithy phrases tailor-made to be shouted by large groups of people. But just like the hat and its slogan, these phrases have far-reaching consequences. The press, and truth itself, is under direct attack from the president, and Trump’s demands for $5 billion of funding for his border wall has now contributed to the longest government shutdown in US history, which so far is estimated to have cost the American economy more than the cost of the proposed fence.
These are problems, however, for adults to worry about and for kids to make fun of. In a 2017 report on the draw that MAGA hats hold for teens, Hilary George-Parkin noted that the more that adults wring their hands about the potential dangers of Trumpist symbolism, the easier it is for kids to laugh about how dramatic they’re being.
...
But for those for whom the phrase “Make America Great Again” refers to only a small slice of who or what “America” is, it isn’t just a hat. One Muslim American mother whose son went on a middle school trip to DC in which “every single white kid besides maybe one or two” returned wearing a MAGA hat said that the red caps became a familiar marker of exclusionary preteen politics.
”I think 12-year-old boys use it as a form of bullying — identifying themselves as part of this group to the exclusion of others just for the fun of it,” she told George-Parkin. “That’s what it seemed like to me. Us over here with the red hats, and you over there … you’re not even an individual anymore. Now you’re just one of the brown kids and you’re not one of us.”
While many liberals and progressives see the campaign slogan as a dog whistle against nonwhite Americans, some Trump supporters see MAGA hat-wearers as brave bastions in the war against political correctness. Actress and #MeToo activist Alyssa Milano, for instance, referred to MAGA hats as “the new white hood,” whereas right-wing commentators claim that those who take its message seriously are “sensitive snowflakes.”
That’s a lot of symbolism to hang on a hat, so it isn’t much of a surprise that some kids and teenagers have embraced MAGA caps as a fashion trend. As far as accessories go, they have everything: Their message is straightforward and provocative, and protects the wearer as part of a “winning” team. Much like Sandmann’s facial expression, his MAGA hat is all too aware of the power it, and he, holds. And if people are offended, then, well, he could just say that in fact, he wasn’t smirking.
And this is why I keep saying that the only effective countermeasure is retaliatory violence against MAGA hat wearers. Power? What power? Does Sandmann's MAGA hat make his face bulletproof? But so long as people continue to restrain themselves from the moral duty of retaliatory violence due to fear of legal consequences, then the MAGA hat does have power. In short, the MAGA hat only has as much or as little power as everyone else allows it to have inside their own minds. The day someone finally decides that whatever legal fallout may follow is worth shooting Sandmann in the face, that day the one who so decides has truly learned the meaning of freedom. Only one who knows the meaning of freedom has what it takes to make Sandmann instantly regret his behaviour. Genuine societal change requires people who know the meaning of freedom.

"Even if we get rid of Sandmann, 10 more like him will spring up."
And how many thousands or millions more will spring up if it is shown that Sandmann can act as he did with impunity? We are dealing with a nothing more complicated than a continuous feedback loop. Sandmann is currently being rewarded for his behaviour with social media support:
i.ytimg.com/vi/HL3DSyBqsQw/maxresdefault.jpg
Therefore it is an elementary prediction that, in absence of further input, similar behaviour will spread over time:
http://pics.me.me/stand-your-ground-pedes-show-solidarity-with-nick-sandmann-post-40768957.pngThe only effective countermeasure is to inject a higher-order feedback into the loop that jams the existing signal. If rightists see that such behaviour will get them killed, all of a sudden the social media support (irrespective of quantity) will mean a lot less, because a million memes cannot block one bullet.
Think back to 2011. When the Breivik massacre happened, postmodernized rightists said: "Oh no! Breivik has ruined everything we are doing! Now the left will claim victimhood and no one will speak up against leftism for at least several decades!"
Whereas unpostmodernized rightists said: "Breivik has demonstrated in the most personally sincere way possible that leftists are so evil they deserve to be indiscriminately slaughtered, and that identitarianism is important enough a cause to go to prison for. We will become mainstream within a few years."
Who was correct?
We had martyrs in the past, back when leftism had more self-confidence:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkert_van_der_Graaf
(In fact, van der Graff finished his prison sentence in 2014!) What we are here to do is restore leftist self-confidence.
And one more thing, in the article I posted above, the last line warns us about rightist gaslighting (another form of initiated violence):
Much like Sandmann’s facial expression, his MAGA hat is all too aware of the power it, and he, holds. And, if people are offended, then, well, he could just say that in fact, he wasn’t smirking.
Well, guess what just happened?
www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/01/23/covington-catholic-today-show-nicholas-sandmann/2655464002/Guthrie asked Nicholas about the "smirk."
"People judged me based off one expression, which I wasn't smirking," Nicholas said about the expression.
The correct response is to cut Sandmann's lips off with scissors while he is fully conscious and then tell him his lips have not been cut off.

Well said. Until they use retaliatory violence, leftists will be mere hobbyists, not radicals.

Here is someone who understands what is necessary:
www.news.com.au/sport/sports-life/the-offensive-big-bash-banner-that-went-viral/news-story/5c796a91583f7713f701f646d989bfe6Three men unfurled the banner at the match between the Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder at Perth’s Optus Stadium.
Sprawled across the banner was the phrase, ‘It’s OK to be white’, which stretched the length of about 18 chairs.
...
Studio 10 host Joe Hildebrand chimed in, suggesting the men take their offensive sign to a cricket match in South Africa, where the oppressive Apartheid movement originated.
“Why don't they unfurl that in Johannesburg, go to a cricket match in Durban and see if you make out of the stadium alive then,” Hildebrand said.
The real question should be: why only in South Africa? They should not be allowed to make it out of any stadium alive!

"MAGA= MAWA (make america white again)"
edition.cnn.com/2019/01/21/opinions/maga-hat-has-become-a-potent-racist-symbol-bailey/index.html
The MAGA hat, like the Confederate flag, wouldn't elicit outraged reactions if it were only a piece of cloth that harkened back to bygone days never to be relived. But it isn't. It is a signifier for those who believe America was great during some point in the past they dare not name, knowing if they do, it would reveal a time when it was worse for people of color. When was America "great"? When millions of black people were slaves? When hundreds of thousands of black men were sold to US companies via convict leasing? Maybe during the heart of Jim Crow, the height of lynching, or when black people struggling with drug addictions were viewed as criminals to be controlled, not fellow human beings needing help?
"WNs will play the victim and say "is it not ok to be white"?"
The WN slogan “It’s OK to Be White” is equivalent to a bully saying to the victim whom he has tormented non-stop for years on end: “It’s OK to be a bully.” No, it is not OK to be a bully. No, it is not OK to be “white” (or Jewish). To even claim that it is is to reject moral accountability.
No one should have been self-identifying as "white" from the moment the colonial era officially ended. The only possible conclusion is that the colonial era has not ended in the minds of those who choose to continue to self-identify as "white", nor do they want it to end.
