I'm sure many of you have heard of it or seen it, the MAGA hat kid. Since this story first broke last weekend more info has come out clarifying what happened and revealing the kid wasn't as malicious as the news outlets lead us to believe. Since then a discussion has been brewing as to why we all, not just the news media but others, were so quick to jump on board with the original story. Most of which points to the hat as the source.
Some folks have claim the hat represent racism, bigtory, and even.. the new white hood.
Now to me that sounds like hyperbole but it got me thinking about what others might say and on top of that. How far must a hat go to actually replace the white hood of the KKK? Do the KKK need to embrace it? Must a group of white people with the hat attack and brutally injure/kill a group of black people? Or will folks always excuse the hat as if it had no fault in these matters because the origin of the hat does not match the origin of the KKK's hat.
Thoughts?
