Why do you lie? This is the only video of it. Again, the person holding the camera does not know the black man. The video starts with the white man starting the verbal confrontation. The black man appears to be alone. Everything you said following "revisionist history much" was an outright lie, looking to, ahem, "color" facts the way you like em.
Brother None said:You said "unedited full version", as if the version I linked to is "edited" and "not full", but as I said, there's only one video showing the altercation in the bus. Your video is taken after the bus altercation, and filmed by another person. It does again show something is clearly not right with the white gentleman though, as my "revisionist history" clearly stated. Feel free to read up before embarassing yourself further, or will you continue to defend your assumptions?
DammitBoy said:It's fairly obvious the old dude was baited afterwards - no stretch required to make the case for baiting before the first video.
DammitBoy said:Didn't you say there was only one video?
Brother None said:So you admit you are making assumption based on "no stretch", aka based on how you perceive African-Americans to generally behave in public transport in the US?
DammitBoy said:Your perception may vary, but it'll still be wrong and based on a lot less 1st hand data.

And that would be the opposite of the point.

Beautifully said. I agree wholesale. With the note that there isn't something inherently wrong with this. Or put differently, everyone does this, and it's just the way the world works. Hard to blame the media for it when "free media" (internets) shows it works the exact same way.
