I really get pretty disgusted at the lack of due diligence people take before they decide to ruin a person's life. The most recent case of this occured this weekend with a brief video of an interaction between an Omaha Elder and a group of young Catholic boys.

This short clip and subsequent articles have been shared millions of times over the the past 24 hours and the kids have already begun receiving death threats, their school may expel them, people have called their parent's employers in an attempt to have them fired, and much more. Instead of taking a single moment to fact check and see the longer video, which can be watched here:

Which shows a group of "Black Hebrew Israelites" (a group which has been described as a black supremacist hate group by the SPLC) shouting insults and pejoratives at the Indians and kids. Further they began to use racial slurs at the kids, calling them cavemen and worse and some even began spitting on these teenage kids. At this point Phillips (Omaha Elder pictured) got into the middle of the two groups in an attempt to pacify both sides and he begin playing music and singing. The boys cheered and sang along and the young boy pictured here was trying to show that he was friendly and wanted to ease tensions as well. The kid finally published a response which unfortunately I can only find from Jake Tapper's Twitter page and unfortunately I don't know if it will share correctly, but you should definitely read it if you have the time.

When will we say enough is enough with this ridiculous outrage culture that doesn't care about ruining lives over false narratives?
