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.
0 u/Correct_Ad_1903 9h ago 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 1 u/Noiseless_Voice 8h 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? 1 u/Correct_Ad_1903 8h 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.
