Why does our society ignoe such blatantly obvious racism? I know why. They think it's "payback" of some sort. It's sad that we think whites need to compensate blacks because of something in the past that didn't involve anyone alive today.

And yes, racism is alive, and it always will be. Who cares? People are individuals and can formulate their own opinions. However, racism is not a prominent political force today. Racism as a political force died out in the 60s. (Though, with Donald Trump, we may see a resurrection of it).

The protesters are simply giving intelligent people more leverage against them, by making their hypocrisy so obvious.

Hey, actually, racism is still a prominent political force. However, it's racism against whites that prevails now, sadly. Affirmative action is racist.

I only lasted with the video for the first few seconds. The history of the human race has thousands of abuser and abused ethnicities in a long complicated history. Until more modern times the more dominant groups exploited the weaker ones quite regularly. Those times have ended and are too complicated to unwind now.

Though I appreciate what you are trying to do here and expose, it should be noted that the comments below the video on the page you have linked to are very deeply, deeply offensive - and that's coming from an angry white 1%-er Neocon.... I'd remove the link from your OP so no one else has to see this garbage.

I wonder what the context of her instruction was. Perhaps there was method to her request. Or perhaps not. I gather none of us were there, and there's really not much to go on from the video.

Also, I'm curious, did all the people of mixed heritage go in the middle?

I noticed that myself. Really spectacular hatefulness!
One thing it made me wonder about. It wouldn't take a lot of editing to make a few seconds of video into a drastic alteration of what actually happened. You see the same thing happen with many videos of police actions.
By the comments I would imagine the poster's audience to be angry racist people and he gave them what they want. Same as the #BLM people do.

Thank you, Tom. That's exactly what I was thinking... just fanning the hate narrative... and trust me, I'm no fan of BlackLivesMatter...
