Capes? Going out of your way to find offense where none was intended or even suggested is the easiest possible thing in the world.
So much has been said and tweeted about “the smirk,” Nick Sandmann’s countenance as Nathan Phillips beat a drum in his face on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Jan. 18. The ensuing controversy that brought the Covington Catholic high school teen from Kentucky and the Omaha Nation elder from Nebraska together is now the latest addition in America’s thick book of Rorschach tests on race and difference. And “the smirk” is its indelible image.
Getting me to give a crap is infinitely harder.

Capehart is using a high school junior who did nothing wrong and intended nothing wrong as an icon for everything and everyone he hates. That's what Phillips did, choosing to go over and bang his drum in the kid's face. They hate white people, especially white males. Anyone in a Trump campaign hat is assumed to be a racist bigot. They should look in the mirror; they're the bigots.
