Lot of people trying to figure out who “started it” in that first video, which unless they were there at the time, is futile. Here’s what I see. Two grown men were mouthing off to each other, and one of them was clearly responsible for it coming to blows, and that’s the guy that got his face rearranged for his effort.
People mouth off to each other every day in every part of the world for all kinds of reasons, usually over the most inane shit. 99 percent of the time both parties walk away with a fuck you and a kiss my ass. In this video, the black guy chose to escalate matters to a physical altercation, and that’s unarguable.
Not too long ago two guys got stabbed in the chest and killed by ONE guy, after what seemed like a fairly trite verbal altercation at a bar I frequent. They never saw it coming. Point is, saying fuck you and kiss my ass from a distance is a common breach of social harmony, but if you show another person that they are now physically in danger, be it a punch to the chest, a slap, a push, whatever…and you must defend yourself to the best of your ability. The old man did no more, and no less than that.
Some random thoughts:
Anybody that would try to physically bully a senior citizen, unless he himself was also a senior citizen deserves the beating this guy got.
Fat black women may be directly and indirectly responsible for more violent bloodshed than any other group of people on Earth.
Saying leave race out of it is completely unrealistic. Racism is a fact of life, and probably always will be. In fact, I think it’s slowly getting worse, bubbling below the surface, and going to erupt at some point.
I also think that doing the math, going on facts, and playing the odds, as it pertains to business is considered genius, but doing so in social situations, is called racism.

Racism is a fact of “YOUR” life ONLY if you make it so.
NOT talking about violence, because it does not matter if one person is white and the other Asian if they come to blows or gun shots it’s still VIOLENCE.
NOT talking about refusing someone a Job or a house or treating them at a hospital because of there race because that is AGAINST THE LAW OF THE USA.
RACISM is what I’m talking about just plain ol I don’t like you or I know all about you and everyone that looks like you because:
Me and all my friends were picked on by 10 guys like you in school
Me and all my friends have 10 guys like you at our job that act like fools.
Me and all my friends have seen guys like you while driving thru town.
You feel you know an entire group based on the 10-20 people you’ve met in the small part of the world we all live in is insane.
If your going to hate or judge a group don’t go on race go on the state they come from you have a better shot at being right.
Ask any 10 guys from Boston how they feel about the Red Sox or the Yankees.
Racism is a fact of life if you choose to make it so. Not talking v[/quote]
Racism is a fact of everybody’s life whether they consider themselves racist or not. That’s like saying car accidents are not a fact of my life because I don’t intend on having any.
I believe that each person should be judged individually, after having gotten to know them and maybe even had two or three business transactions with them. But since I don’t have the time to do that 7 billion times, I’ll just generalize, thanks.
Judging people by the state they live in has SOME merit as it pertains to sports, and that’s about it. That’s just stupid. I’d rather be racist, that has always proven to be non-state specific.
It’s the year 2010, and nobody is making decisions based on the 10 people they know personally. People make decisions based on hundreds or thousands of people they’ve gone to school with, work with, shop with, drive past, do business with, every story they’ve ever heard, every article they’ve ever read, every news report they’ve ever watched, everything they’ve learned from the Internet, and every thing they have ever seen, whether they have been personally involved or not. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Making decisions based on all experience is what makes us human. Allowing the media to tell you that is not a nice thing to do when it comes to people is being a lamb.
I have black friends, Asian friends, white friends, Hispanic friends, Jewish friends, gay friends…but when I’m walking down some street at night in a rough part of town, and five black guys are walking towards me, my adrenaline kicks up a few drops, naturally. If you make those five guys Asian, probably not. If you make them Jews, probably not. If you make them Indian, probably not. If you make them Hispanic, probably yes. And if you disagree with what I just wrote, you are probably a liar.
