The young Kansas City Chiefs fan who donned a headdress and face paint at a recent game and was subsequently smeared as racist by progressive media is of Native-American heritage, according to his mother.
On Monday, the left-wing publication Deadspin alleged that the football fan, identified as Holden Armenta, “found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time.”
The headline urged the NFL to publicly condemn the boy for insulting African Americans with his “blackface” and Native-Americans by wearing the traditional tribal headdress.
In response, Shannon Holden, the boy’s mother, wrote on Facebook: “This has nothing to do with the NFL. Also, CBS showed him multiple times and this is the photo people chose to blast to create division. He is Native American – just stop already.”
While the Deadspin article used an image which only showed the half of Armenta’s face that was painted black to substantiate the claim that he was wearing “blackface,” other images show that the other side of his face was painted red for the Chiefs.
