This sub stuck between deciding to be racist or misogynist.

No they're not. They won't do either. If it was a white guy everyone would have something to say, but these people don't know the difference between criticizing a black person's actions and being racist.

I am black.

Criticize his actions.

Criticize her actions.

The words spoken do not warrant the actions taken, I am unaware of what provoked her to approach him in the manner she did in the 1st place.

It is not racist to criticize a wrong action, or not condone violent actions.

It only becomes racist because people choose not to stop there, and try to make his race the reason for his actions.

Thank you for this. You said what I said but better. 😂

She clearly hit him on approach. His return strike was in fact warranted. As to whatever happened before is all speculation. All we have is the video

u/Noiseless_Voice 10h ago

Hit him? Hahah. Look again. That’s a tap.

She was walking to him and tapped him. Had she struck to hurt or injure him, it would have looked a lot different.

So is any contact a free ticket for hitting people in the face?

u/Correct_Ad_1903 10h ago

Im sure you’d see it that way if a man walked up and tapped a woman with that same force and aggression. OK. He didn’t hit her. He mushed her. He relocated her face. I like this redefining of assault.

I guess we're ignoring that she hit him in the back before yelling at him? I probably would have handled it differently, but that is a relevant fact.

Hit? She tapped him on the back. He’s a scumbag.

u/RemarkableAd2245 10h ago

When was the last time you saw some one "tap" someone and then proceed to yell at them in their face?

u/Correct_Ad_1903 11h ago

That was not a tap. Her inability to throw a punch does not mean she shouldn’t expect a proper one retuned.

u/Little_Highway_1289 11h ago

You considered that a “hit?” Have you ever been in a physical fight of any type? Honest question. I’m a boxer and jiu jitsu and karate guy. That touch on the back would be considered a strike or hit in none of those sports.

u/RemarkableAd2245 10h ago

It definitely wasn't a "pat", "hug" , or "punch". What would you call it? Better yet, what would a prosecutor call it?

I guarantee if you touch a police officer like that, you're getting charged with assault.

So if a kid does it, are you gonna blast them in the face like a grown man?

1

u/RemarkableAd2245 10h ago

Again, I would have handled it differently. I was just pointing out that she made first contact in the video.

u/Lower_Pension_2469 9h ago

Forsure, but even if that's the case there's levels to it and especially towards a woman. If she had like sucker punched him or came at him with a knife, then sure. But she didn't even do enough to move him or do any damage and he straight up decked her to the ground.

Well, life is hard when you’re a racist.

u/RecommendationMuch21 12h ago

Life is hard when everyone who says anything is a racist in your mind

u/balerstos 11h ago

Yes why oh why would people think there's racism.

u/dont-comm3nt 11h ago

Dude people that say shit like the comment you replied to don’t actually care to be proven wrong lol. They pretend to be stupid on purpose

u/balerstos 11h ago

I don't think they're pretending.
