The AC Transit Bus Fight features two men - one young and black, the other old and white - who both insult each other and to be frank the video shows the old white man after he went to the back of the AC Transit Bus to antagonize the young black kid. It was wrong for the kid to escalate the discussion, just as it was wrong for the old white man to answer back. It was wrong for the young kid to go and try and fight - to throw a punch. And it was wrong for the old man to hit the kid.
With all of that some observers have proven they're just as much animals as the men in the video. The talk of some is to crown the old white man as some kind of hero, when it's obvious he's some kind of nut job. Some people report the AC Transit Bus Fight as if it's a victory for whites against some boogie man who's black. All of this has become a discussion seemingly dominated by racists and nuts cases. Since racism is a mental illness, it's hard to tell them apart.
The bottom line is both were wrong and if you are picking sides, you're just making it all worse and showing how nutty people around the World can be. It's really sad that we've allowed society to degenerate to this point. To a point where I just seek refuge away from the crazy people and the racists.
Why do you say it was wrong for the old man to hit back?
ReplyDeleteThe old man was attacked. He defended himself. Good for him.
Both were trash talking. Both are crazy in their own way. But whatever was said does not justify violence.
When the black guy physically attacked the old man, that's exactly when the black guy commits a crime and when the old man is justified in defending himself. Good for him.
