The Chicago-based Deadspin, the sports blog, railed over the weekend about a young man at a Kansas City Chiefs football game who appeared in the stands wearing a headdress, his face painted in the colors of black and red. The Deadspin commentator Carron Phillips attacked the kid, saying “This is what happens when you ban books, stand against Critical Race Theory, and try to erase centuries of hate. You give future generations the ammunition they need to evolve and recreate racism better than before.”
But it turns out, there were glaring problems and deficiencies with Phillips’ screed. First of all, the young boy isn’t white. His grandfather, Raul Armenta, sits on the board of the Chumash Tribe in California. So Phillips was entirely off-base in assuming any kind of racism whatsoever.
Did Deadspin retract or apologize for Phillips’ error? Nope, not again. They chose to pointlessly smear a young man. They didn’t bother to check the accuracy of Phillips’ screed, just as he didn’t check his facts in the first place. Our conclusion: Phillips is not a journalist. He’s just a frigging leftist and a race charlatan! Here’s more from Mark Dice.
