Where, when, and under what circumstances did this incident occur?
I think it's high time that white Americans stopped being defensive about accusations of being racially prejudiced, because obviously, that is a bogus accusation that can't be rationally defended.
Why not just boldly state that, "Yes, the 'conduct of their character' is the reason we're prejudiced against negroes"?
"Indeed, the way YOU are conducting yourself at this very moment justifies any feelings of racial prejudice directed towards you, and probably influences how other blacks will be perceived."
That guy and gal in the video are obviously Marxist inspired agitators, hoping to instigate a violent and/or embarrassing public confrontation.
They should be reminded that the very first slaveowner in America, Anthony Johnson, in Virginia, was an African negro, as was his very first American slave, John Casor.
Remind them that negroes in Africa were captured and enslaved, not by white Americans, but by other African negroes, usually during raids by neighboring tribes.
Remind them of all the black slaveowners on the Carolina plantations and white slaves (orphans kidnapped in Scotland).
Ask them if any of their ancestors served in the Confederate Army, for many Southern negroes did.
Remind them of what life was like during Reconstruction, and as a result, why the Ku Klux Klan began, and why laws were enacted mandating racial segregation and outlawing miscegenation.
It's funny how history repeats itself, but basically, we're really seeing the same old thing today that our ancestors endured in 1865.
Thank you.

Mr. Mallernee, I was thinking just today, how or why would Southerners fight for a system that most soldiers were not wealthy enough to participate in (owning slaves). What would make them risk their lives, farms and families when they would have no direct benefit in doing so? Maybe they were tired of being demonized, threatened, characterized, belittled and just plain old bullied by certain factions in our "community". Maybe they were tired of being pushed around and told how bad they were. And finally enough was enough!! As you said... funny how history repeats itself.
I think the most important thing about the video is the ignorance being displayed by the Black Panther. He says he will use his second amendment right to stop the distribution of the constitution which somehow threatens his multicultural center. He really doesn't understand that the second amendment comes from the very same document he's spewing vulgarities about. He truly is a poster child for the left; Ignorance in its finest form.

I believe we're back to enough is enough regarding our tyrannical PC government.
