It's all about the MAGA hat. If these kids were all wearing Reds or Bengal hats and clothing, no one would ever know and no one would care. There are plenty of examples on YT of teenagers being disrespectful that didn't get the coverage that this incident did. The clip originated to an instagram account named "Resist 2020" which has since been determined to be fake and suspended (and CNN is blaming it on the Russians ) and was then pushed by CNN and MSNBC. It's all about what they are wearing.

Lets switch things up and play opposites with this.....

Black Israelites = White Israelites
Native American man = overweight unshaven middle aged white guy
White suburban private school kids = African American inner city public school kids
Right to Life March = Womens March
young white boy = young African American girl
MAGA hat = Vagina hat

Now play the whole thing through this way without changing anything about what was said or done, and what do you think would be the story?

The focus would be on how the white Israelites hurled racial slurs and the African American students, and how a overweight middle aged white guy went into the middle of the kids space and began banging a drum in the face of a young African American girl who wasn't intimidated, and stood her ground against the old racist. This girl wouldn't be receiving death threats but rather she'd be getting interviews on every major network along with her picture on next weeks Time and Newsweek's magazine. She'd be lauded a hero and the picture of her standing up smugly to the racist would be held up as a symbol a generation. 

I agree.  If it was a black kid standing there we'd have his entire family's criminal record read nightly on FOX news.
