The founding fathers were between a rock and a hard place Re: slavery, the southern states would not have joined the American Revolution if slavery had been abolished at that time. Now we pay the price...
It’s mainly the loud/vocal ones around here that have no idea what the fuck is actually going on around them. The real value on this board is within those of us that say little and can maneuver this echo chamber successfully. Too many people on here forgot how to use critical thinking, they simply follow the herd.
Apparently, you don't realize that this type of incident has happened several times as evidenced by online news reports. Yes -- nail salon technicians have been assaulted by customers -- do a search engine check.
Why do you expect anyone to know offhand that this particular incident is (according to the other poster) a skit -- when so many other incidents are not? It's not a matter of critical thinking when these type of incidents are a common occurrence and this footage appeared to be just another of the same type.
Edited to add: By the way, I was more struck by the violence of the video to the point that nothing else mattered. I was not reacting to the race of the "perpetrator" or the "victim", nor the supposed circumstances involving the card. Did it ever occur to you that some people have a gut reaction to seeing violence in any form?
Should have been deported back home circa 1865...
That's right.

Definitely.

What "violence"? Seriously, did we watch the same video?
Hear, hear
