I don't like seeing people fight physically with each other. That white guy overstepped a far piece, though, and paid for it with some serious hurting.

there is a time to walk away and a time to stand up to a bully. He said bullies believe they can cower others with the threat of violence. He barely survived a court martial during WWII for threatening a drunken officer.

I don't quite get what happened.

I didn't see the white guy strike the first blow. It just seemed to me that the black guy beat the hell out of the white guy over words (that I couldn't make out) and messing with his bike.

It was just too much for me to side with the black guy in this case. I don't think it will end well for him.

The white supremacist yelled at him to go back to Africa.

He clearly messed with the wrong person.

With trump in office these racists are feeling emboldened as these incidents are happened more and more often.

There was another video a couple of weeks ago on the subway where a white guy gets in a black guy's face and calls him the n-word. He got his ass kicked too.

At some point, and with the right, or in these two racists' cases, the wrong person, retaliation comes swiftly for their bigotry.

Both got what they deserved.

I also did not agree with the stand your ground defense in the Florida shooting of a black man. The cowardly white guy that shot was under no immediate threat of harm. The truth can only be found through consistency.

People sometimes get tired of taking racist shit.

You've never been on the end of it so of course you don't get it.

What I saw was the white guy reaching for his bike to leave when he was brutally attacked. That is clear assault and battery under the law. I hope he was arrested and charged accordingly. That is my opinion.

for what he said.

Bet the poor, little, white racist won't try that again.

And did I mention dumb. The black guy was built like a heavyweight boxer and that idiot tells him to go back to Africa.

He deserved an ass kicking just for being that dumb.

for the man whose ancestors were torn from Africa.

I'd slap anyone white person who tells me to go back to Africa. No pass on that one - and no apology either.
I'd take a bet on whose ancestors were in the US longer.

I believe one should never overlook racism. And yes the consequences of of engaging are serious indeed. But ignoring and walking away anathema to me, and I won t do it.

You may lecture me as you will. And death, disfigurement, and incarceration may result. I accept this.

I just believe one should speak up in such situations, no matter if your voice cracks from fear. For not doing so lessens ourselves and our Country.

one thing is for certain. These supremacists will continue to get their asses kicked until they learn to shut up with the racist crap.

I guess we're just supposed to take some tweet's word for it. Of course, it still wouldn't justify what happened.

Guy in the video was a bit too obvious in his racism. He needs to learn a few key phrases to better stay under the radar.

"Why is everything about race?"

"we should wait to see what really happened...."

"but slaves built the pyramids and we holiday there..."

"The <minority in question> wasn't an angel either."

and of course, my fav: "his reponse to racism makes us all look bad"

That is because I did not hear him say that in the video.

Now if there is another video that proves this then that is different.

Bike to face before advancing.

Body slams on to railing twice.
