Journalist who criticized 9-year-old Chiefs fan is hiding from criticism

Hell hath no fury like Carron Phillips, a black journalist with a rabid toxicity of bigotry and other left-wing political beliefs, attacking a 9-year-old who appeared white, Holden Armenta, going to a Kansas City Chiefs game. It was an egregious journalistic assault that most people are familiar with by now, and it is indicative of the dangers of the Left’s racial pedagogy. A 9-year-old boy was targeted, vilified, and demonized by a grown man for doing the kind of things 9-year-old boys should do.

Racists have a long history of being cowards,” Deadspin’s Phillips once said. He should start by looking in the mirror. In the end, the 9-year-old had more courage and guts than the adult as Armenta faced the criticism head-on, while Phillips cowardly hid and made his account on X, formerly known as Twitter, private.

In addition to Phillips’s cowardice, a plot twist was that Armenta is part Native American. His grandfather is on the board of the Chumash Tribe in Santa Ynez, California, the Post Millennial reported. The journalist was telling the 9-year-old Native American what he could and could not wear as a fan to a professional football game.

These types of attacks and racism hoaxes, which frequently turn out to be bogus, seem to happen only to white people. From Tawana Brawley to the Duke lacrosse team to Jussie Smollett to Bubba Wallace. Tall tales of anti-black racism fueled by white supremacist bigots turned out to be nothing more than fiction. Consider the Nicholas Sandmann and Covington Catholic incident from 2019. Democrats and others on the Left were enraged at another white minor, branding him a bigot of epic proportions. In the end, Sandmann’s critics and opponents were all wrong.

However, victims like Sandmann and Armenta and bigots like Phillips are essential in today’s race-obsessed culture. Their tribulations raise the question: Why do innocent children, who are believed to be white, keep suffering false claims of being racists when the facts don’t support such claims? No other people, let alone children of different races, must endure such plights in the country in 2023. It exemplifies the Left’s desire to seek, hunt, and destroy anything it believes is unacceptable, even if it doesn’t have all the facts.

Phillips’s ignorance was hateful and divisive but also baseless and unsubstantiated. The Left seeks to demonize and vilify innocent white people — and it turns out, even when they are not white — simply because of vile ignorance and hatred. It’s just the latest example of the Left’s war on white people. The Left has become so radicalized. Its unhinged and uncontrollable hatred fuels its sociocultural and political rage and agenda.

When it comes to racial equality, many of today’s left-wingers have repeatedly demonstrated they are yesterday’s Jim Crow racists. Phillips was just the latest to prove that.
