Accusations by an online writer, Carron J. Phillips of Deadspin, that a young Kansas City Chiefs fan was disrespecting both blacks and Native Americans during a game have backfired.
The evidence now shows that the child, Holden Armenta, was wearing black face paint on one-half of his face because the team’s colors are black and red, and he had the other half of his face red.
And further, he was wearing a traditional Native America headdress – because he’s “actually a Native American,” according to a report from Modernity.
Social media commenters essentially told the story:
Why is @Deadspin @carronJphillips trying to ruin this little kid’s life? They’re accusing him of blackface but conveniently left out his full face which was painted for the game https://t.co/kFfgAL4aDH pic.twitter.com/750u5sfETE

Libs of TikTok first pointed out Phillips’ attack on the child, with an image showing only part of his face, with “Why is @Deadspin @carronJphillips trying to ruin this little kid’s life? They’re accusing him of blackface but conveniently left out his full face which was painted for the game.
You just can’t make this up… the kid that @Deadspin and @carronJphillips tried to smear for his costume and “black face” is actually Native American.
He should sue them into oblivion. https://t.co/XAyenORfQ6 pic.twitter.com/NAmzS2ykK4

The “Libs” account then pointed out, “You just can’t make this up … the kid that @Deadspin and @carronJphillips tried to smear for his costume and ‘black face’ is actually Native American.”
“He should sue them into oblivion.”
The Real Kansas City Chiefs Fans had explained Armenta belongs to the Chumash Tribe, and his father is on the Chumash Tribe board in Santa Ynez.

Later commenter Matt Wallace noted that Chiefs fans “are planning to all wear black and red face paint to the next game in a MASSIVE show of support for this bow who the media called racist.”
As Modernity’s report said, “Whoops!”
It explained Phillips wrote for Deadspin “complaining about how the NFL needs to ‘speak out’ against the boy, who looked to be about 9 or 10-years-old.”
Phillips had created the issue with comments like, “It takes a lot to disrespect two groups of people at once. But on Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas, a Kansas City Chiefs fan found a way to hate black people and the Native Americans at the same time.”
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Shortly after Hamas terrorists fired over 5,000 rockets from Gaza into Israel on Oct. 7 and then proceeded to attack the Jewish state by land, sea and air – torturing, burning, beheading and murdering well over a thousand people, including women, children and infants, and wounding and abducting hundreds more – world reaction was, in its own way, almost equally shocking.
For after the biggest one-day mass slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust, what followed was an outpouring of celebratory demonstrations, unbridled Jew-hatred, deliriously gleeful support for Hamas and bitter condemnation of the nation of Israel. Not just in the Arab-Muslim world, but throughout the Western world as well, including all across America.
Why? What is behind the explosion of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, pro-terror sentiment in the United States, where Israel has long been one of America’s closest friends and allies? Why are hordes of young “woke” LGBT demonstrators marching in support of Hamas – when Hamas wouldn’t think twice about binding and blindfolding them and throwing them off the roof of a tall building – as they routinely do in the Muslim world?
It turns out there’s one area of agreement that is so powerful, deep-seated and all-consuming that the vast differences between the deranged left and the murderous jihadists melt away into Kumbaya harmony.
All of this and much more is completely exposed in November’s issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled ISRAEL VS. GLOBAL JIHAD: How Jew-hatred, radical Islam and Leftism are pushing us toward World War III. Beyond a deeply insightful dive into why leftists are surging toward radical Islam – which hates and dreams of raping and butchering them – this Whistleblower issue includes fantastic articles by everyone from top Israeli analyst (and former Israel Defense Forces officer) Caroline Glick to Harvest Christian Fellowship’s Pastor Greg Laurie on the current war in Israel and biblical prophecies regarding the End Times … which he says are now upon us.
WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
