That black guy could have picked the white guy up and thrown him on the third rail like a sack of potatoes. Imagine how terrible that would smell for everyone else.

was the guy in the pink shirt drunk?

there was no need for violence. Ya it's a very racially sensitive word but cooler heads need to prevail. But who knows, maybe the guy was having a bad day and this pushed him over the edge to punch the guy.

Hope BRick is not wearing tight pants when he sees that video.

This would never have happened had this been the Jim Crow era.

The white guy in the video probably was a "criminal" so it was completely justifiable.

Still more coherent than stating blacks lynched during Jim Crow were probably "criminals" anyway.

Yes it is and that is why i bumped it before the lies started rolling. That is how "justice" was exacted in the good ol' boy network of the South for "criminals" like Emmitt Till i guess.

People get murdered for terrible reasons. How many people do you think were lynched in the South during Jim Crow? And do you think they were only black? It’s sad Emmitt Till was murdered. But that’s an anecdote. If you have a better data set I’m willing to listen.

Yeah that was pretty bad. Few ways that guy could have been killed. Interesting that one person in the comment section expressed concern for the safety or health of the black guy.

Oh look Jim Crow again in a random night in 20fucking18. You have to fucking be kidding me. The LTG hits just keep fucking coming.

Might as well shut the fucking board down because nothing should be discussed much less enjoyed around here. Have to rethink all aspects of everything as we breathe each breath.

Yeah let’s all get along my ass. Drag everything back to Jim fucking Crow every mother fucking day.

It is fucking exhausting to people who try to be nice normal human beings to everyone they encounter in the 2010s.

I doubt you are willing to listen and you are already deflecting again. "Only" black people in the South were lynched becomes the new narrative. Did you feel the need to provide a "data" set for your assertion that they were probably criminals? Don't recall seeing that.

Also lynching was one thing but the lack of "justice" ironically for those participating in the lynchings was almost as egregious. Whites in the South were rarely if ever tried for the crime let alone convicted. To presume that blacks were criminals displays woeful ignorance and if you were as in tuned with this as you proclaim to be then you'd know that the manner in which he was kllled was commonplace in the Jim Crow South.

The primary reason that it became a huge story was due to the fact that his mother allowed for photographs of his body to be taken at the funeral. It was laid bare for the world to see.

Interesting how you (Unsurprisingly) failed to notice that the person who first referenced something from previously wasn't me. It was WFR but since you are a primary perpetrator of bias then you selectively chose to focus merely on the response.

I'm sorry that it bothers you and others but frankly i don't give a fuck. When i feel like addressing bigoted comments then i'm going to address bigoted comments.

You can continue to provide customary cover for this if you like but i'm not.

It’s not a narrative my friend. People were lynched of both races routinely. I do not doubt many black people were unfairly lynched. But that’s not the entire history.

You aren’t guilty enough about things you never did. Repent!!

not just in the south but chicago too. that's why the black panthers were formed. because chicago cops for kicks use to go into the 'colored' neighborhoods and start beating up blacks and knocking them on their heads opening up skulls. (I thank the radio great Nate Clay for educating me about this era in Chicago/USA).

I think the black dude really should have just ignored the guy. But then again, maybe this was the little thing that made him do this. Maybe he was holding his tounge forever and this finally did it. Not everyone is Jackie Robinson.

Fuck that man... dude had it coming. He absolutely deserved getting knocked out.

No one is asking anyone to be guilty. No one is being charged with anything. There sure seems to be a lot of apologists for this shit though. A lot of them.

Its hard to ignore it but i don't know if he should have resorted to violence however. Tough call. Seems like he snuck him though. Guy looked like his back was turned when he hit him.

these days talking shit or arguing against anyone is dangerous. people are crazy out there. you never know if someone has a gun. just keep your mouth shut and live another day.

Apologists for what shit? The video? Someone was called a bad name and that person nearly killed someone. You think that’s an appropriate response?

When my kids were little. One of them started crying in a resturant. I was sitting by some real douchebag giving me the stink eye. Anyway I got into an argument with him. Fucker was annoyed that a infant ruined his quiet dinner.

Anyway didnt think anything of it but then I see the fucker following me home. I drove by the police station and he then drove away.

Crazy people out there.

Yeah he should not have turned his back on him. If he were drunk then it would have been tough to really be cognescent of his surroundings.
