No. Seriously.

Try again.

No, really, you first

Now you are just being racist.

Read the second post.

- The old black woman in the back clearly voiced her disapproval, telling that fool to "chill out".
- Camerawoman says "it ain't worth it blood".
- Black girl wearing black w/big gold earrings tells the fool to "Stop it" before he walks over to punch EBD.
- Someone else yells "stop it" when fool throws his punch.
- LOL and then another black male cheers EBD on by saying "Ayy, beat that niggaz ass!" during the fight.

You have 5 black people voicing their disapproval vs 1 person (camerawoman's friend) encouraging that idiot by yelling out white slurs and you want to label all the blacks racist. Good job, thanks for exposing yourself.

Okay. For the cheap seats...

A bus is an enclosed environment.

Atlanta is not.

Your extrapolation at the end has nothing to do with the event you described. The rest of Atlanta did not witness your encounter.

Relax, young dude. I have only watched the video once and have not directed any of my commentary to the video itself. My point was intended to explain how someone may be perceived by observers as a racist if they are near other racists of the same racial group.

But thanks for the breathless recap!

 

[Persona7]

Oh wat, that video with the skateboarder and gang member is awesome. They didn't beat him enough though.




Also, Amber lamps etc etc

And

He Shouldn't have hit the guy if he couldn't back his shit up.

Wow, okay mr. specific how about just the street. My point was obvious anyway, in that your logic is flawed for saying all the black people in the bus were racist. The fact that you wasted all this time just to say that I said a City instead of the street, when the main point of the whole post was to show how flawed your logic is, proves you know what you're saying is complete bullshit.

Thanks for that? Everything you said doesn't mean there weren't racist black people on the bus.

1) Your point was not obvious as it was poorly worded and included an amendment that did not relate to my initial statement.

2) I never said the bolded.

3) Good luck in school. Your enthusiasm is admirable, but you need to work on technique.

 

[YoungHav]

Thanks for that? Everything you said doesn't mean there weren't racist black people on the bus.

And where did I say there wasn't a racist black person on the bus? I just corrected your illogical generalization. When someone yells out beat "his white ass" or "pinky", I don't think it takes too much detective work to come to the conclusion that that specific person ummm... just might be racist. Do you want a cookie for pointing out the obvious?

No thanks. I have a bag of Pepperidge Farm cookies. I didn't make an "illogical generalization" and just have no idea where you are really going with all of this.

Because I said that all the people in Atlanta were racists instead of all the people on the street? Get a grip, the point was extremely clear, unless you want to tell me that you're truly that naive. You're grasping at straws now.

And it is true that you specifically never said the bolded, but you did defend and back up the person that did say the bolded, making it seem like you supported his view that all the black people on the bus were racists. If you don't agree with that then I really don't know why we're arguing.

And :lol at point 3

well when you type "the black people on the bus were racist" how is someone supposed to take away from that that you only meant two black people on the bus were racist?

...there were only three black people in the video. I mean you can see some of the other ones but they are just NPCs.

 

[Lamel]

This has been one of the most epic things to ever surface on the web. From the funny pictures, amber lamps, mortal kombat etc.. all the way to EBM's interview. Sad that his mother died though; guy just seems to be emotionally/mentally imbalanced is all, happens to many who fought in Vietnam. Also "Stop the war Mr. Obama and I'm glad Bush is out of office"...kind of indirectly dissuades from him being racist, but who knows.

Because it's laughable that you think you know me well enough to even say that I need good luck in school. In fact I hope you have good luck in your career, you'll need it.



A smarmy post always deserves a smarmy response in kind.

LOL. fine fine. You came back to clear up what you meant, so you weren't generalizing.

Laughing at point 3 explains the rest of your post.

Next time I see someone say something racist, I will take your advice and assume that everyone around them of the same skin color is also racist... even if none of them know each other. How did I live this long without learning this life skill?

 

[danwarb]

He arguably baited a black person about shining shoes and used the terms "chinaman", "Boy", and "cotton picking motherfucker" (vid 2). On top of that someone who knows him IRL confirmed in this thread that he's a crazy racist homophobe. But you choose to ignore all that and believe him because that one sentence, amongst hyperbole and blabber, confirmed your preconceived biases.

It's relatively mild stuff though for an old guy, and some of it post bus fight. He doesn't seem overtly racist in the interview. If the guy was looking for a fight, surely he'd come out with worse than "Chinaman" and "Boy"?

While this EBG may have provoked initially, he wasn't the first to threaten, and he walked away. Even claimed not to be "prejudice".

Of course I don't know you personally. However, on this particular medium, I can only judge you by your words and your ability to parse the words of others. In my encounter with you, it is clear you need help in those areas.

Sorry, but that's the way it is. Good luck for real.

I am pretty certain that any white person in a picture of a lynch mob is probably a racist, even though only one guy is holding the rope.

Just sayin'.

 

[YoungHav]

^^ Hmmm... AC Transit incident... lynching...that leap in logic would've been difficult even for an '85 Jordan.

Naw I don't think he was looking for a fight specifically, I just think he may have been just fuckin' with the guy. There's crazy people like that all over. EBD isn't winning klansman of the year awards anytime soon but he spouted some arguably racist things. Racist or not, his actions were 110% justified.

 

[Calcaneus]

I don't know why people are trying to have actual discussions of racism over a video of two crazies fighting.

I'm pretty sure my GPA says otherwise. Anyway, the feelings mutual towards you as well. Good luck for real.

[TheThunder]

It's just the same 3 or 4 people arguing about it for the 100th time.

I just want to see how the meme will grow and when we will see Epic Beard Man again.

 

[YoungHav]

Why is the girl so dumb?

but she's oh so hot!

 

[Calcaneus]

Why is the girl so dumb?

Yeah, she's trying too hard to be serious business. I think she just wanted a reason to hate on the white guy more in this case.

 

[Sipowicz]

the ugly banshee who filmed it stole the bearded dude's bag

has no-one reported her?

 

[Nameless]

In a world without the Mortal Kombat video I no doubt would've responded to some of the extremely moronic and asinine shit said in the last page and a half of this thread. However, being in that are we are lucky enough to live in a world with the Mortal Kombat video I'll just take another shot of whiskey and re-watch it for the 93rd time.

 

[Onemic]

Logical fallacy.

Really, do you want to get smart with me? Your comments just make you look like a fucking douche that's just trying to get a bigger e-peen.

I won't even attempt to correct myself just so I can see you try to get that e-peen to the point of orgasm. Just keep going, I'll be laughing all the way.

 

[YoungHav]

Jesus Christ Ana was so off in that Young Turks video. She should stick w/the pop portion.

 

[Archaix]

Something else this video has brought us:


Holy shit. I just now realized "cotton picking" is racist. I mean, I haven't heard the term in years. My father used it all the time just describing anybody he thought was stupid. And, yeah, my father is racist as hell too. But I didn't realize until now that was a manifestation of his racism. And, yeah, it's obvious when you actually think about it. But how often do we actually think about the meaning of common phrases?

 

[Rorschach]

Why is the girl so dumb?

Don't worry. She's got a high GPA!

[edit]She seems to think that black males have no self control and can't help themselves....

 

[clav]

I don't know what she was smoking. It's as almost as she was trying to equate her thinking in this sense:

a crazy old guy doesn't deserve respect for punching someone

girl who wears scandalous clothing deserves to be raped

wtf

 

[Sol..]

No matter how much yall try to express how racist us blacks are, it will take 500 years for it to mean anything.

Roadhouse. race card style.

 

[Dark Octave]

Wait, I thought he said (or I heard), "Ayy, Shock and Awe!"

:lol Cause he sure was raining bombs on his ass.

:lol Damn Sol!

 

[Nameless]

Yeah because talking about celebs scandals are obviously wayyyy more important.

But coming to a video game message board to engage in a pointless debate out racism in lieu of a god damn bus fight, which quite frankly, is more comedy than anything else, is?

What you just did is bash bestiality while you're dick deep in a corpse.

 

[YoungHav]

Yeah because talking about celebs scandals are obviously wayyyy more important.

lol. I'm not saying thats more important. Ana usually covers celeb entertainment and Cenk usually covers politics and more serious stuff. She covers the latter in this vid and was off IMO. All this race debate aside at the bare minimum EBD was totally right in defending himself and I was disappointed in her not seeing that.

This is ridiculous. The old man walks up to the front of the bus and yet the moron follows him and attacks him, only get a beatdown.
I honestly don't understand my race sometimes. Not to mention he's on violation of his parole, what a fuckwit.

Ya, all she seemed to be doing was hating on the fact that he has become an internet meme instead of focusing on the point that he was well within his right to defend himself.

[X-Burner]

It's not about race, it's a dumbass acting like a dumbass.

Actually it is about race, otherwise there wouldn't be such a huge reaction, as if it were white on white, black on black, etc.

This guy is part of a minority and makes a big deal out of nothing judging from what the old man said in the interview, yet he thinks he can attack an old man? Are you fucking kidding me? This is pure stupidity and there's no excuse for what he did.
