Deadspin updated a recent story that accused a young Kansas City Chiefs fan of wearing “blackface” — after he painted his face half red and half black for the team’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders — following threat of legal action. The sports outlet’s new headline reads‚ “The NFL Must Ban Native Headdress And Culturally Insensitive Face Paint in the Stands” and includes an image of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The original story had a photo of the young football fan‚ Holden Armenta‚ wearing a traditional headdress and only one side of the boy’s face-the black side. The original headline read‚ “The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face‚ Native headdress.” The new version of the piece also removed the reporter’s claim that the Chiefs’ fan “found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time.” .@Deadspin finally changed their story about the child Chiefs fan in ‘blackface’ amid legal threats from the family. The editor replaced the deceptive cover photo showing only one side of the kid’s face — the side painted black — with a photo of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.… pic.twitter.com/b4muu0XRTP — OutKick (@Outkick) December 8‚ 2023 An editor’s note was included at the top of the piece that reads‚ “On Nov. 27‚ Deadspin published an opinion piece criticizing the NFL for allowing a young fan to attend the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 26 wearing a traditional Native American headdress and‚ based upon the available photo‚ what appeared to be black face paint.” “Unfortunately the article drew attention to the fan‚ though our intended focus was on the NFL and its checkered history on race‚ an issue which our writer has covered extensively for Deadspin‚” the note added. “Three years ago‚ the Chiefs banned fans from wearing headdresses in Arrowhead Stadium‚ as well as face painting that ‘appropriates American Indian cultures and traditions.’ The story’s intended focus was the NFL and its failure to extend those rules to the entire league.” “We regret any suggestion that we were attacking the fan‚” the note continued. “To that end‚ our story was updated on Dec. 7 to remove any photos‚ tweets‚ links‚ or otherwise identifying information about the fan. We have also revised the headline to better reflect the substance of the story.” Holden’s parents‚ Shannon and Raul ‘Bubba‚’ hired an attorney to demand a retraction of the story and threatened further action against the author Carron J. Phillips‚ Deadspin‚ G/O Media‚ and Great Hill Partners‚ as previously reported. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP In a letter obtained by News Nation‚ the Armentas wrote that‚ “These articles‚ posts on X and photos about Holden and his parents must be retracted immediately.” “It is not enough to quietly remove a tweet from X or disable the article from Deadspin’s website‚” the letter added. “You must publish your retractions and issue an apology to my clients with the same prominence and fanfare with which you defamed them.” Holden is from an American Indian family‚ and his grandfather is on the board of the Chumash tribe in Santa Ynez‚ California‚ according to The Post Millennial.

Democrats on the Minneapolis City Council do not want to immediately clear a homeless encampment populated by American Indians despite other Indian groups saying it is crime-ridden and urging the city to clean it up. The city is set to clear a major homeless encampment next week‚ but on Thursday‚ eight Democrats on the city council asked Mayor Jacob Frey to delay the cleanup until February‚ the Star Tribune reported. The homeless encampment‚ known as Camp Nenookaasi‚ has about 180 people and was set up by American Indian women in September after the city cleaned up a different encampment. City officials say the encampment must be cleared due to public safety and health concerns. Residents who live nearby have complained about crime. Organizers‚ however‚ as well as some council members say the camp is more organized than a typical homeless encampment. “This is more controlled‚” Councilman Jamal Osman said at a press conference on Thursday. Osman’s Ward 6 includes the encampment. “We haven’t had a lot of incidents‚” Osman said. “There will be more safety concerns if these 180 people go to the surrounding streets.” Earlier this week‚ dozens of supporters of the encampment showed up at City Hall during a public hearing to oppose the cleanup. Meanwhile‚ American Indian groups have been demanding the city close the encampment for months. One of those demanding a cleanup is Ryan Salmon‚ interim chair of Metropolitan Urban Indian Directors‚ which includes more than more than 30 native organizations including the Indian Health Board. “Not only are crimes being committed regularly‚ but they are also being hidden from police with threats of and physical acts of violence‚ to those who would normally report‚” Salmon wrote this month in a letter to the city demanding the camp be “closed immediately.” The mayor’s office said they are still assessing the decision to clean up the encampment next week. “These decisions are informed by leading experts from multiple city departments‚ and prioritize the safety of the people both in the encampment and in the surrounding neighborhood‚” said a spokeswoman for the mayor. “We are also listening to Native leaders who‚ in this case‚ have been demanding the City take this action for months‚” she said. The council members who requested to delay the encampment cleanup until February also said they do not want to keep the camp open indefinitely. The goal is to house the people living there‚ they said. Homelessness has been a growing problem in the U.S. since the pandemic. Cities on the West Coast in particular have struggling with a growing homeless population as well as spiking drug use.

Yesterday‚ tape broke of Nihad Awad‚ executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations‚ openly celebrating the October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israelis — the worst terror attack in the West since September 11. “I was happy to see people breaking the siege‚” he proclaimed: CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad at AMP Convention: I Was Happy to See the People of Gaza Break the Siege on October 7; They Were Victorious; the People of Gaza Have the Right to Self-Defense – Israel Does Not #Hamas #Gaza #Palestinians @CAIRNational @NihadAwad pic.twitter.com/WDbSRjFJo0 — MEMRI (@MEMRIReports) December 7‚ 2023 Awad’s words were perfectly in line with CAIR’s generalized anti-Semitism and radicalism. On October 7‚ the date of the Hamas massacre‚ CAIR National tweeted:  We join @USCMO and the American Muslim community in reaffirming our support for the Palestinian people’s right to freedom and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation‚ which … sparks the deadly violence that we see again and again‚ including today. We join @USCMO and the American Muslim community in reaffirming our support for the Palestinian people's right to freedom and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation‚ which kills hundreds of Palestinian civilians every year‚ subjects millions of Palestinians to racist… pic.twitter.com/eW4waBJGc2 — CAIR National (@CAIRNational) October 7‚ 2023 On October 7‚ before any Israeli response‚ they also called for an end to American aid to Israel and the Abraham Accords. The group has not offered a single word condemning Hamas. Yet CAIR remains a go-to organization for the media and Democrats in politics. In May‚ in an attempt to counter accusations of anti-Semitism from inside the Democratic Party‚ the White House organized a National Strategy to Counter Anti-Semitism. That strategy included a group dedicated to “cross-community” solidarity — and that group included CAIR‚ which the White House said would launch a tour:  …to educate religious minority communities about steps they can take to protect their houses of worship from hate incidents‚ such as appropriate security measures‚ developing strong relationships with other faith communities‚ and maintaining open lines of communication with local law enforcement. Why was CAIR included in this enterprise? To support the intersectional coalition the Biden administration has attempted to build. The Jews don’t truly fit in that intersectional coalition‚ of course. They don’t fit comfortably in the oppressor-oppressed matrix that underscores the coalition because Jews are both highly targeted and also highly-successful. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show But the Left likes the pretense that Jews belong in the coalition. CAIR is the price of Jewish belonging: Since there is no substitute for CAIR in that organizational coalition‚ Jewish groups are expected to swallow hard and pretend CAIR is legitimate. Tablet Magazine’s Armin Rosen has written on this topic‚ saying:  The ADL and CAIR might not get along‚ but they are protected by the same dynamic: They both provide a nearly identical service to the same larger coalition‚ which returns the favor by keeping both groups at a level of prominence that crowds out any potential rivals. That’s the Biden administration’s program: Activate the coalition of the oppressed at all costs. That means covering up radical Muslim hatred for Jews — and that means including radical Muslims in the program to fight anti-Semitism. At least‚ that was the plan. Biden Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism Deborah Lipstadt admitted CAIR was problematic‚ but said they could be included in the White House working group on anti-Semitism because: “If they’re really willing to change‚ if they’re really willing to say‚ ‘Hey‚ we now see this is a serious problem‚’ then they are welcome.” But‚ of course‚ CAIR wasn’t willing to change. That was obvious. To actively oppose Hamas would violate CAIR’s raison d’être. The roots of CAIR are fascinating and frightening. As prosecutor Andy McCarthy writes about in his book‚ “The Grand Jihad‚” Hamas supporters gathered at a Marriott Hotel in Philadelphia on October 27‚ 1993‚ with the intent of creating a new public relations organization in the United States. Those Hamas supporters included one Omar Ahmad‚ president of the Islamic Association for Palestine; concerned about being recorded‚ Ahmad referred to himself as “Omar Yahya” and referred to “Samah” instead of “Hamas” — “Samah” is “Hamas” backwards‚ of course. Ahmad‚ at the meeting‚ said it would be worthwhile to lie about the agenda‚ that the new organization could not admit “We represent Samah” or that “Ahmed Yassin‚” the head of Hamas‚ “represents me.” Awad‚ who was at the time the PR director for IAP‚ was at the conference too. There‚ according to McCarthy‚ he was an active participant in the meetings‚ where he agreed with Ahmad about adopting lying to Americans: “When I speak with the American‚” he said‚ “I speak with someone who doesn’t know anything. As for the Palestinian who has a martyr brother or something‚ I know how to address him‚ you see?” Less than a year later‚ CAIR was born. CAIR was linked with the Holy Land Foundation and the Muslim Brotherhood from its foundations. Daniel Pipes elaborated on the creation of CAIR in a National Review article‚ saying‚  Hamas‚ designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. and many other governments‚ indirectly created CAIR and the two groups remain tight. Examples: In 1994‚ CAIR head Nihad Awad publicly declared his support for Hamas; the Holy Land Foundation (HLF)‚ a Hamas front group‚ contributed $5‚000 to CAIR; in turn‚ CAIR exploited the 9/11 attacks to raise money for HLF. Multiple board members and staff at CAIR have been arrested or denied entry to the United States or were indicted on and pled guilty to terrorism charges. CAIR defended the 1993 World Trade Center bombers‚ calling their convictions a “travesty of justice‚” did not condemn Osama Bin Laden for September 11 until Bin Laden himself claimed the crime‚ opposed the deportation of terrorist Rasmea Odeh‚ and steadfastly tied virtually all anti-terror efforts to phantom “Islamophobia.” In 2008‚ the FBI cut off relations with CAIR. But under Democrats‚ the American government has never been willing to let go of the illusion that CAIR represents a crucial part of the intersectional coalition. In 2011‚ the Obama Justice Department declined to prosecute CAIR co-founder Omar Ahmad; Ahmad worked closely with the Holy Land Foundation‚ as well as the Islamic Association of Palestine. That declination to prosecute came despite the fact both Attorney General Eric Holder and then-FBI Director Robert Mueller had serious reservations about CAIR. Reporter Patrick Poole reported on the indictments‚ saying they “were scuttled last year at the direction of top-level political appointees within the Department of Justice (DOJ) — and possibly even the White House.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP The Trump administration cut off relations with CAIR. But under the Biden Administration‚ CAIR returned to prominence. Nihad Awad has spent years being feted by the media because the Left-wing media require a Muslim organization within the intersectional coalition‚ no matter how extreme. Thus‚ Awad is welcomed to national television to pretend at moderation‚ even while he spouts Hamas talking points.  Now‚ of course‚ we’ve heard the radicalism from the horse’s mouth‚ so to speak. The question is whether the Left will be willing‚ this time‚ to admit what is plain: that CAIR is a radical Islamist organization. Don’t hold your breath.
