Long video of altercation shows Black Hebrew Israelites inciting the version of events that played out.

Full video showing initial altercation with the high school students:


This video shows much more of the provocation by the Black Israelites preaching/ranting. But the video still highlights that Mr. Phillips attempted to diffuse the situation with his drumming and singing.

The longer video adds more context to the incident, and some of that preachers’ comments were pretty appalling. Now I understand the rowdy nature of the high school kids, as they were reacting to those words initially.

With that said, the symbology in the MAGA hats is what changed the portrayal of the story. I stand by what I said in my video regarding the symbol itself. The xenophobia attached to it automatically puts people on the offensive. In my video, I question whether the kids are choosing to wear them because of that kind of reaction.
