Ok I'm sorry I wasted my time, if you think violence is a viable option you are an extremist, simple as that.
There are black people still alive that had to be escorted by the military so they could attend school free from violent retaliation.

You think they are extremist for asking for equality? When racism is emboldened, particularly by this President. Do you expect people will just stand there and take it?

Jesus Christ, you're so extreme.

With all the “DemocratsNowDeplorables” on Twitter, you’d believe it. Corny ass bot ass motherfuckers.

These white kids should be getting all the flak if what the witness said was half true.But somehow they are victims, fuck their defenders as they are racist as they are.

Ah yes quite convenient:

"The witness, who has asked to remain anonymous"

Anyway I'm reading things saying it was provoked a lot saying it wasn't.

The only thing we know for sure was that an ADULT male threw soda on a teenager.

Point is, violence won't change anything it will only make things worse. You want to really change anything for the better? Dialogue is your only option. Change is made in the voting boot. If you don't like democracy then only one thing remains revolution AKA bloodshed.
I don't like to dogpile but coming out of a family where both grandparents fought the Nazis to just survive and fight off evil so your bitch ass could post this shit on the internet: fuck you. Also, you're welcome. But still, fuck you. And all you high horse moderate motherfuckers.

My mother remembers whites only washatrias as a kid and thinking they meant you couldn't wash anything but white clothes in there. She also remember being pulled out of school by her hair and paddled because she didn't speak english and being told she couldn't return until she learned. And when she did return, she was put into a segregated school.

My brother and sister and I didn't learn spanish as our first language, because when my mom started having kids in the 70's, she was still worried that speaking spanish would cause my oldest brother to have violence inflicted upon them. All my extended family speaks spanish and english except my family. I've learned spanish on my own, but my brother and sister still can't speak any of it. And despite trying, it's still not second nature for me to speak spanish. There are things about my very person that are still shaped by institutional racism.

This isn't ancient history. This is shit my parents went through.

Worth saying - on my father's side, I can trace my roots back to Native Americans in Texas. My family has lived in Texas, since before any of the 6 flags flew over Texas. My grandmother has always told me, if people ask when we jumped the border, to correct them that the border jumped us.

Guys you don't understand. Having to live in fear over the cops brutalizing you at any time and shitheads calling them on you for existing is most definitely not as bad as living in fear of having soda thrown at you and your shitty hat snagged.

My grandmother told us that her mother was beaten so hard by the BIA's boarding school that the nuns knocked her out on the road for not learning English fast enough. Her great aunt was paralyzed on half of her body due to running away off of a cliff during the American Indian Wars which lasted from the fucking 1600's to the early 1900's. That was less than 100 years ago.

So when I see someone say "how could 30% of the country be racist!?", Fuck You. Violent history has been recent as hell. Pretend all you want, but confronting it is the only real path forward.

I like how the moderate viewpoint here is to throw words like “violence” and “extremism” to describe what happened. That kind of dishonest framing is definitely not a nuanced, moderate use of language.

Whats crazy is, living in Texas my whole life, I really have never had to fear about racism unless I stepped out of the state. The very first time I experienced racism hurled my way, with serious intent, was in Mississippi when I was in highschool.

But as an adult, after living in this state for over 30 years, suddenly I am very conscious of my race these days. I feel like we've gone very far backwards. In the last year, I've been called "Mexican" as a pejorative to my face. Like, in a very spiteful way. Worth also noting, I've never once set foot in Mexico in my life.

EDIT: Going back to loss of spanish as a language in my immediate family -- do you know how honestly sad that is? It legitimately upsets me that I could have been naturally bilingual, an honestly useful skill, but I wasn't, because society made my mom fear teaching us that stuff. Consider my grandpa, passed away now, but he got Alzheimer's and lost his ability to speak english very early on. My Grandpa was still there for years, but my brother and sister literally could not talk to him anymore, because they didn't speak the same language.

It's cultural theft man. It's really sad shit.

Yup, my dad always told us we should speak English in public. He lived through the 80s as a young immigrant, and he mentioned he would always get nasty looks for speaking Spanish in public.

I grew up speaking both languages, he never took that away from us, but I understood early what he meant.

I'm "lucky" in that I have only been called a slur once and have only had casual racism thrown my way in little bits and pieces which didn't matter so much. But I live in Minnesota, which is honestly a pretty damn good state.

Stay cool Krej, and if you ever need the password into Minnesota I'll let you know it. :P

Yeah... fuck. I only know a single phrase of Comanche and I don't have a way to verify if it's real. Unless I move to Oklahoma or Alabama there's no real way to learn the culture.

My mother is a confrontational woman. I imagine much of my personality actually comes from her, she is someone who will get into someone's face and doesn't take shit. She is also very light skinned -- she could pass for white, while it's very obvious my dad (and my brother and sister and I) could not. She loves busting spanish out in public hoping someone gives her shit about it, haha. She also likes to not let people who speak spanish know, so that they'll speak spanish in front of her thinking she won't understand, only to follow along the conversation like that Seinfeld episode with George's dad and korean nail shop, haha.

Well, this is the far right playbook and it always has been. Instigate, let others take the first shot, act innocent and outraged about your rights being violated. If any witnesses say differently, send in the attack squad by social media and discredit them or make their life a misery. Hence the witness wishing to remain anonymous in this case (which makes them all the easier to take shots at with no right of reply, of course...) If you have enough of the media on your side, it just makes it easier.

Word, I appreciate that. If there is one silver lining towards America's regression, it's that lately I've felt a lot more comradery with minorities in general. It's pretty obvious it's a shared struggle at this point. Shortly after Hurricane Harvey, the city my parents live in were honestly doing them dirty and not listening. I remember venting on twitter, and #BLM picked up the cause even though we weren't black. Put pressure on the city (it's a small city outside of Houston) and really made them take notice and listen. After thousands of people started melting the city's twitter and facebook pages, the reaction to calls for meetings was like night and day. It was a super uplifting moment.

And good looking out calling the people who were not throwing around racist threats "dumb motherfuckers".

Both sides champion.
they are fucking dumbass racist teenagers

getting yourself caught on film and costing yourself your job and possibly doing a bit of time is not something a smart person would do

just lay a verbally legal smackdown on them and go on your way, messing with kids will not do anyone any favors EVER, on any side

I'm fascinated at the cognitive dissonance in that person's mind (or perhaps even willful stupidity and not wanting to face consequences for it. Hmmmm....) where he gets splashed for wearing stuff often repped by bigots and acts like he's suddenly a victim of a hate crime and not someone displaying propaganda which might provoke someone potentially harmed by it.

Soda in the face of a racist is not "violence"
Yes it is. You don’t decide what is violence and what is not. Your post is disgusting.
Lol, no it doesn't. A growing subset of Trump supporters are a different breed of republicans, the ones that are willing to put out the gun on a minority because they feel entitled. I can't blame minority or white people for being fed up and seeking justice.
When did these guys put a gun on the guy who threw the soda?
Since when is literal genocide a political view?
Show me the genocide that is happening in the US right now.
Still waiting for a response dude. They're both misogynistic, homophobic, theocratic, murderous groups that are looking to kill off "undesirables" and create a totalitarian ethnostate. Just because their religions have different names does not mean they aren't made out of the exact same mold.
A guy waving an ISIS flag VS a guy waving a Nazi flag.
Same scum, different name.
ISIS beheads people in public squares, throws gays from the roof tops, enslave women, destroy all kind of technological advances, indoctrinate people into their religion or they kill them. Trump idiots don’t do any of that. So give me a fucking break. You have no idea what you are talking about and that is why your comparison is dumb, and pretty much insulting to all the people who lived, suffered and died under ISIS terror.
What else would you call it.

That’s the crux of these discussions. In a society where wishing harm on people because of their race, gender, religion or sexuality isn’t acceptable and the State enforces it, it’s a lot easier to make an argument against any kind of physical or verbal violence.

But if a society is willing to turn a blind eye on these aggressions, if not support them, don’t be surprised people feel threatened enough to fight back, it’s not like there’s much else they can do to preserve their ongoing existence.

To put it more simply, you get the social norms you erect.

Apparently you can only react when atrocities are being commited.

And separating children from parents and putting them into camps is not as evil as Isis! They need to start throwing them from the rooftops then the moderates will allow us to be upset.

My grandfather on my white father side loaded bombs in the Navy during WW2.

My ancestors on my black mother side grew up in South since antiquity.

Violence against Nazis works.
The threat of violence as civil unrest grows more likely will scare leaders into progress.
Take your punk ass status quo wanting 'be quiet and vote guise' shit to the birds.

It's the same shit now as back then: fuck over X group, when they get fed up 'whoa pal, be civil' when things look like they might go bad for the oppressor'.
