It sucks for that bruh. He got called out but thats the problem with being the marginalized. The black dude has to react and stand up in the face of bigotry but then ends up getting his ass handed to him… tisk tisk tisk

Kyrie Irving and his Uncle Drew
Simply put, great advertising. Everyones wish is to play with their idols, the professionals they see on TV. No matter the sport, no matter the field (well sometimes people arent on tv in certain fields but you know what I mean). Pepsi put Kyrie Irving in the game, and “hid” it as well. It was [...]

Blind Person Driving by Google
Self-Driving Car Test: Steve Mahan Say what you want about google compiling information about everyone, they do do some pretty amazing things. The car driving by itself is a feat enough, but making it safe enough for a blind driver is ridiculous. Granted, its not on the highway or in traffic, but this is an [...]

Pao vs Barca. Most Lit Game Ever.
I mean, its not even a soccer game, its hoops. I have been to quite a few basketball games, a few state championships (one of which I played in), but I have never seen anything like this. I watch NBA playoff games and I still dont think the crowd is as into the game. Maybe [...]

the Anthropocene Era
Scientists are considering creating a new era, the Anthropocene Era, defined as the era humans grew to have an influence on the development of the earth. As you watch this video, which shows all the major roads and trade roots we have developed, I am not sure how you should feel. Part of me is [...]
I think the circumstances leading up to the fight aren’t as cut and dry as you painted them. According to the interview with the white man on YouTube, it all stemmed from when he said to his friend that he planned to have one of his “boys”, meaning one of his friends, shine his shoes for him. The black man pursued this as evidence that he intended to have a black man shine his shoes and it escalated from there.
Also, though the white man may appear in the interview as a bit unstable, he seems far from racist and a largely sympathetic character.
The interview can be found here: http://www.spike.com/video/epic-beard-man/3345915
No matter why it started, the situation still stands that he was saying bigoted things first off and that the torrid history of black/white relations in America compels one to stand up and fight, or be embarrassed in public. At the end of the day, I still feel as if the black guy had no choice but to fight for his pride even though he was clearly outmatched.
I don’t know why you’d make the assumption that the option to stop inciting an argument or to refuse to start a fight was not available to him. The old man, about halfway through the video, moves to the front of the bus to avoid further confrontation.
