So you're saying the same ridicule and theft of a hat will occur if these girls left Howard and went into one of D.C.'s predominantly black areas?
Maybe not theft of a hat, and since D.C is like Atlanta and has many wealthy Black Areas, such as in Prince Georges County, Maryland outside the Beltway (wealthiest majority black county in the U.S), not necessarily. But a similar event could happen.

I see.
ATG5 specifically referenced a "hood" so I wonder if that would change things.
Well if we want to go into probability, it would depend on what time and what part of the hood they went too. Some parts of a hood or ghetto is filled with old people sitting around minding their own business. For example in parts of Houston the hood especially in the SW refers to the huge density of Apartments on major roads, but the actual suburban neighborhoods that are surrounded by these apartments on major roads sometimes look peaceful and for a half second you might think your not in a dangerous area until you notice all the houses have gates in front of their doors. Not sure how D.C is organized, but if it is similar to Houston then it depends on were they started walking.
Yes. Do you not respect the notion of the natural right to freely express, peacefully, political beliefs?

Of course I do. because I am not a hypocrite regarding the 1st Amendment right to express political opinion. I also support the right of anyone to burn the US flag.
I wonder if you do, too. Prolly do. But, do you also respect the right of another to fly the Confederate battle flag? Or do you limit that right to those AntiFa morons who wave the Hammer and Sickle flag?
Are you equally offended by leftist morons who wear the oh so cool Che T shirt?

Did you agree with Trump in his criticism of the Charlottesville rioters from both sides?
But, no. They are not both equal in "guilt".
We are not deemed to be "guilty" in the USA for peacefully expressing our political opinion. Dis you skip Civics class, or did your school simply not offer these classes? Or, was the notion simply too difficult to grasp?

This ignorance is part of the reason we are in such a state today.
Yes, there is an important difference.
Of course anyone should be permitted to wear any sports logo they wish, anywhere without a fear or risk of violence against him/herself. How is wearing a sports logo considered taunting? Grow up! If you are triggered by a sports logo, you have emotional problems and are likely an idiot. But, the Constitution does not address your right to nor prohibit you from wearing any sport logo. There are normal laws that punish the morons who are guilty - actually "guilty" - of assaulting and or battering someone for the "crime" of "taunting" by sports logo...
Notwithstanding the obviousness of the above, sports logos are not protected speech/expression under the 1st Amendment. But, Political Speech/Expression is in fact protected by the 1st Amendment.
How the heck is pointing out these facts equal to "hiding behind the Constitution"?

Comments regarding the 1st Amendment are "low-brow" and "drivel"? No wonder our US citizen populace is so ignorant of our laws and the manner and way that our nation was founded.

You need to tell your fellow Trump supporter mtl1 this as he is triggered by foreigners and languages other than English.
BTW no one is arguing that the girls didn't have a right to do what they did. People are just arguing that they shouldn't act like victims and say oh! the constitution when their verbally assaulted on campus. Again I think both sides did the wrong thing. But one side the black college students no matter how wrong I think they may be actually believe MAGA especially after Charlottesville is racist lingo an MAGA to them is MAWA. Make America White Again. These girls do not do anything to help these beliefs that MAGA isn't a racist symbol by acting the way they did. Since I don't believe MAGA is racist, I just don't like Donald Trump, I act accordingly, but If someone purposefully walked around my campus in say a KKK costume, I wouldn't be surprised if I did something irrational. They are hiding behind the constitution by abusing their right to free speech. It's like all those fake YouTube pranksters that do stupid things like ask people in the "hood" if they want to get shot (talking about a syringe but purposefully misleading to make it seem like a gun). Then they scream "Its a Prank Bro!" when their about to get jumped.
Just imagine if someone walked into a circle of Crips screaming Cripkiller and dressed in all red. Saying F crips etcetera. If they got beat up stabbed or shot. You wouldn't excuse the behavior of the crips but you wouldn't be happy with the victim either, he was asking for conflict. In the same way going to a place wearing a hat were many people things represent MAWA instead of MAGA and feelings are still raw from nearby Charlottesville (A few hours away from D.C and has a Uni there too). I guess some of them might feel like they would expect that MAGA environment in outer areas of NOVA or at their hometown, but not in the place were they feel most at home with people who are mostly ideologically similar. (Note for No_Recess, I am not calling these college students Gangsters etcetera)
I find it funny how amused Trump supporters are, considering how sensitive and thin-skinned they act when anyone dare trolls Trump or makes fun of his appearance.
Lefties are worse because when you troll Obama (or them), they start whining by calling you racist, sexist, etc....
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. While they have the right to do so, and while man of the young Black college students seem to have lost their minds, this doesn't help anything.
So, did Paris deserve the bombings and shooting because their cartoonist should have known better than to make fun of Islam?
