We tried to be better for 100+ years. It clearly didn't work.
Time's up for these fools. They had their chance.

You should PM a mod if you have issue with a thread.

Easy to sit on that fence when you don't really need to be concerned with the KKK and Nazi's kicking you off of it and lynching you in front of your family.

If you watch the whole video on YouTube the two white guys definitely force the situation, confronting, yelling at and swinging on the black guy after he tries to disengage. It looks like they're about to leave the store, but then they change their minds and go back in. Unfortunately for the short and bald guy his friend decides to stand back and watch him take a beating after things go south.

Tell me, what should have been the correct response?

I'm not above enjoying a bully get dealt with by his victim. I still demand better than white supremacy. Too bad for you.
Privilege has it's advantages
What about the soothing, healing effects of a well-reasoned debate? We need to deploy GAF moderates as sleeper cells into Waffle Houses across the country. It's a tough job but it must be done.
Did you actually watch the video?
For clarity, I'm neither condemning nor condoning the beat down. I am not black and I cannot understand what it is like to suffer this kind of insult. If I try to put myself in his shoes then I totally understand this reaction and I could imagine myself doing the same. But I accept that I can only imagine that.
What I was really referring to however was the endorsement of violence in the thread. I dunno why it needs to be celebrated even if it is understandable.

As far as notability, though, this kind of scene is not that unusual at the Waffle House. It's the go-to destination for drunks at 2 a.m., shit can get real.

This is a privileged fucking view point if I've ever seen one.
Fucking hell. You clearly don't know what it's like being a minority if you expect people to be civilized against people who hate you and seek to demean you, simply for the color of your skin. Think a little and have some empathy before preaching that bullshit.

Dude punched him and so rain of fire is what he deserved. Start a fight and you better be prepared they gonna fight back. He didn't just called him a racial slur and get beat.
Based on this post I am guessing you didn't actually watch the video, correct?
there's always someone waiting to jump on that high horse and prance around isn't there.
look, this isn't a political issue. this isn't one of your usual "both sides" weak ass fence sitting arguments you don't commit to. One side are literal white supremacists, the other side aren't. If you can't make a choice then you can just fuck off too.

I understand perfectly, unfortunately I see things escalating as the only possible outcome.

White supremacist ripped out multiple dreads at the 39 second mark. Good fucking god that would hurt. That might be one of the reasons Black Hulk is able to unleash his rage and absolutely FUCK him up
The racist also threw the first punch. You don't have to be black to know who's in the right here.

Beatin' these hateful, ignorant fuckers down isn't enough. They need taken out in handcuffs. They need to understand their behavior will not be tolerated at every level. And we need to do everything to make sure that happens.
It's pretty clear that all of these moral high horse folks didn't actually watch the video.

And there you go. You have no idea what it's like growing up a minority. It fucking sucks to be subjected to racism as a kid, not even knowing what I did wrong, but knowing it has to do with me being brown.
I know it's awful to say, but a part of me cheered that racist getting fucked up because i just imagine those racist fucks calling me names finally getting their ass whooped.

You're being sarcastic so this isn't for you
People are not responsible for debating and arguing for their very existence or rights. You can't expect any person to debate you unless they themselves start or enter a debate or an argument. You cannot just walk up to a black person, start talking shit then expect a debate. You cannot walk up to a woman in a hijab and ask her about Islam and how it oppresses her and expect any response. They don't owe you shit.
Furthermore this whole "debate" bullshit that the far right loves so much is just a tactic to gain praise and more followers. They come in with prepared arguments and approach unsuspecting people at rallies or whatever and when this person cannot immediately refute their planned argument they immediately declare a win and post it on Youtube "SJW REKT by Logical Atheist" It's 100% disingenuous and a neat trick to color people fighting oppression as "dumb libtards who don't even know why they are mad".

Did I see this right? Did he really rip out a few locks? If so that alone deserves the beat down
What is it about waffles that sets people off so much?
Build a wall around the waffle houses, I say!
Anyway, what did this idiot think was going to happen? Calling someone a "nigger" is going to get a reaction. Calling someone a "nigger," and then throwing a punch? That's going to get your ass beat. Period.
I mean, violence is supposed to never be the answer, but sometimes somebody needs to get knocked out. I probably would have done the same thing if someone swung at me like that. It's okay to defend yourself with violence if violence is directed towards you. I doubt he was going to be able to shake this dudes hand and have a heart to heart talk with him.

Yeah, I saw that too. Must have hurt like hell.
Motherfucking racist got what he deserved. I'm not trying to hear "be civil" if I get called a nigger and swung at.
Notice how they both change their tune and move their goal posts to " no I was talking about everyone cheering on violence in this thread" from "n***** is just a name"

Seriously, since when has feeling good a bully got his shit fucked up ever not been the natiral response? When you go to a party and some dude is being a total asshole and he gets dealt with no one is like "this isn't the way!!!", people are like "good, dude had it coming".
Fake concern is worst. Go away, no one is impressed by your moral superiority.

Y'all tryna Stan for a Nazi that got squirrely, threw a hook, whiffed then get his shit pushed in?
I'mma revel in it. It's funny. It's satisfying.

I don't think anyone is going to hold those thoughts against you. This isn't the same thing, but I kind of liken it to someone who was bullied viciously growing up, and then seeing a video of another bully getting his ass handed to him and cheering it on.
The only way to create a better society is to not have these people (white supremacists, Nazis, racists) as a part of it.

1) reducing the act of spouting the n-word in someone's face to "name calling" is to ignore all context and history for the sake of making (false) equivalence.
2) this racist person swung at the would-be victim after calling them the n-word, as evident in the video you didn't bother to watch before posting this.
3) you now more time to polish up Ghost Song before release

Its unbelievable. A racist started the bullshit and people are unsure. It was a decent fight at that. One v one, ended when he lost. I mean shit, if you can't celebrate a racist getting beat down like that, who the fuck you supporting?
Won't lie, was disappointed at first. That butterball came in hard. But got cooked in the end lol.
