Good lord, that video was disgusting.
Those men were peacefully marching, saying nothing about race, and a few folks were making inane comments.
What does this shit have to do with race? Nothing.
Why were the counter-protestors making racist or race-concious remarks?
I can only conclude there was racist motivations cuz the men marching were predominatly black.
Absolutely disgusting. I would have joined the march if I was there.
Totally sickening the way the people were marching peacefully and the people were shouting "why don't you go to a black neighborhood" "race baiter" "if it wasn't for racism you wouldn't have any money" et cet
I disagree with the comments at the end by the guy talking about "white scholars" et cet, but I think the other comments talking about "white racism" were justified given the evidence in the video.

> At least he should have fired warning shots first.
I disagree with you on this. In my mind, there is no such thing as a "warning shot" with a weapon. If you use it, you use it to kill. Period. (And you had better not have used it unless you felt that your life (or that of another) was in immediate danger, if I am the one sitting on the jury.)

im my mind warning shots equate to 2 in the chest, if you dont heed the warning you get 2 more warnings to the head

I didn't watch the whole video, but I have an idea. Pris's comments sum it up pretty well.
I live in Houston and heard Quanell X talk for years. He is blatantly racist in most everything I've heard him say - that Wikipedia page doesn't even scratch the surface. Pretty much I always figured him for a person that hates white people.
Then I bought my house and it just so happens he lives very near me. He works out at the same gym I go to. I can't count how many times I've seen guys, white guys, just recognize him because they saw him on TV and know nothing of his politics. They'll get the usual awe-struck look and approach him to say something like "Hey, aren't you the guy I saw on TV the other day?" They are always intercepted by his handlers, typically HUGE guys, who tell the guys to beat it. The poor guys are always left with a look of utter confusion trying to figure out what just happened when all they wanted to know is was this the guy from TV. The most attention Quanell X gives to white people is a look of disdain. One of the funniest times was when I happened to go to Discount Tire at the same time he was and this redneck guy kept saying "Where do I know you from?" The redneck didn't seem to understand he didn't want to talk. Mr. X was by himself and just kept trying to ignore the guy so he wouldn't have to talk to him.
Now I realize being constantly recognized and approached is one thing, but never have I seen him turn away a black or Hispanic who approached him for the same reason. He always shakes their hands and says it's great to meet them.
It probably doesn't excuse what happened in the video, but if those commenter's knew much about Quanell and his associates, it might explain it.

I think its pretty assanine for prisoner to presume I think a black can't be racist. There's nothing to support that in my post.
While knowing who the guy was might explain the video, I still found the minority of onlookers' statements to be terrible. I would probably have marched with the guy.

Like I said, I didn't watch the whole thing but I have no doubt that those comments were unjustifiable. Most of the time at least Quanell isn't so overt with his racism.
I would probably have marched with the guy.
Unlikely. His New Black Panther Party people wouldn't have allowed it. j/k...maybe
