Gee, who knew that if you systematically deny people their civil rights they'll act like animals?
Sure, it's sad that people react and behave in such a manner, and I don't condone it whatsoever. But at least it brings the racist assholes like the guy in the video out of the woordwork. I mean, the guy's every word is practically dripping with racism, and he makes sure to frame the whole situation as a black vs. white problem while speaking of black people as a monolithic bloc and never once mentioning the culture of distrust cultivated by the police in this nation. Then he goes on to mock black people for playing the victim while simultaneously whining about the poor white people that were victims of crime by black perpetrators, of which he is able to cite two whole instances.
How are we ever going to fix the racial tension in this country when the reaction of the privileged to such a complex situation is "look at how unruly black people are?"

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
