    Well,beating him up would be fun for me.(Wow i have a twisted sense of joy and humor)And show people not to attack me.
    And since he hit first it would count as self defense.

    But it still wouldn't solve much.

    This is why i play violent video games.so i can release all this pent up rage i accumulate.(Mental issues,too hard to explain)

    So, you just want to be physically intimidating to those around. That itself can have negative effects against you.

    My point is that if it had been a "white" kid (I put white and black in quotation marks because nobody is actually either of those colors, there really isn't that much of a difference in skin color and nobody ever makes a big deal about eye color, which is basically the same thing) If it had been a white kid nobody would have even considered it anything other than an assault. Because he said it was a black kid he gets called racist. It wasn't even a racist comment. Yet the "black kid" gets special favoritism simply because he is black and the victim is "white". I guarantee you that if it were reversed and it was a white guy that bunched a black guy 5 times that it would be called a hate crime and everyone would be after the white guy calling him racist regardless of what the black guy said. You said that racism is a problem, yes it is but it is in the opposite way than people are fighting for. They want special privileges for certain people and those that have a paler skin color are instantly assumed to be racist. The thing is we are all the exact same race, we are all humans. Except those of us that are ponies. Hey, you don't ever see ponies bash on each other because of skin color do you? If Rarity and Twilight Sparkle got in a fight, Rarity wouldn't be called racist.

    actually I put friends in quotations because they were abusive with their language, and were not properly asserting themselves as good people, like not starting random fights with people. also, it's ShyFlutter, not flyshutter.

    and thus makes you unique pixel, because you see not a reason to fight until needed, whereas I am kinda hot headed, but don't burst unless I feel threatened fully, or someone is picking on my friends.

    People at school piss me off? Nope. People that piss me off stay away from me now.

    At fencing? We all have sharp objects, so no one REALLY wants to pick a fight. Not after the sledgehammer incident.

    So yeah, I have it easy.

    You're from Wyoming and I'm assuming you're white. I do not mean any malice by this, but you have no idea what you're talking about because you have not experienced what others have in more diverse environments. I know a lot of people like this where I live now and it is sometimes painful (like having a tall black student go by on campus and one of my friends saying "I wonder if he's on the football or basketball team") to be around. Of course there isn't a scientific basis for race, but that doesn't make its societal implications invalid any more than society divides people based on religious preference.

    Nobody thinks it was anything else than a black person assaulting a white person now either, but what myself and Radaboy object to is the subtle racist narrative in which it was described.

    No, I don't give two ****s about some dead-beat person who assaults someone on a public bus. Nobody is giving this person favoritism. We don't care about the black person. Predictably though, the oblivious racist white person thinks the black person is receiving favoritism because people object to the white person's narrative of the event.

    In what world do you live in where someone is innocent of assault because of the content of verbal provocation? Wyoming?

    I think this speaks for itself.

    I'm not angry at you mate, I'm really trying to help you understand a different perspective here, but it's really hard. There are so many white people who just don't get it. There is certainly racial categorizing in the real world and the only people that say otherwise are white people who haven't experienced it and only say it out of some guilty history white-washing desire to make everything OK. No amount of hipster black people with afros in laptop commercials will change that.

    Oh, yeah, the sledgehammer incident.

    That was actually completely unrelated to the topic. We were balancing blades on fingertips, and the top-heavy guard fell on someone's head, which caused a chain reaction of that. No injuries.

    So since then we know just how good of a blunt weapon a sword is. And I just make sure to remind people of this in such a way that they don't bother me.

    Wow, you really are making some serious assumptions about me. Before I just saw things as a difference of opinions. Now I see that you are in fact jumping to a lot of conclusions. Just to set the records straight though I will say a bit more about myself so that you can see that you can't be making those kinds of assumptions.

    I was actually born and raised in a small town where some racism took place. There were maybe 10 total black people in my home town, though I got along with great. I don't actually consider myself white, though if forced I do put the word Caucasian. I look Jewish but I'm not. The real racism in the area was against Native Americans (I hate the term Indians, they aren't Indians, even though the word is still widely accepted), there is some racism for Mexicans as they are generally considered hard workers and trustworthy. Well I joined the Army and it was shortly after basic training that I had my first real minority experience. My first time in a non 8 man+ room was with 3 black roommates. We got along great, no problems at all. I never once felt threatened by them and we had great conversations. Thought my military career I've had many roommates. I've had some problems with some of them, but every single roommate I've ever had a problem with was considered white. One exception I guess was a Korean guy but he just loved to fight with every single non-oriental he could. All other Black, Hispanic, or other non-Caucasian roommate I've ever had I've become friends with. At one point I went to an all black church. I never felt outcast-ed there and was just part of the congregation. Granted if I had known it was an all black church before walking in I probably wouldn't have but I was very glad I did and nobody ever told me I couldn't be there. Wyoming may be a basically red-neck state but I'm not from here and am nothing like the others around here. I'm not into Rodeo or farming or any of that, I'm a gamer. Also the city I'm in is much different than the other cities. For nearly 5 years while here I had a black boss who acted more like a typical white guy than me.

    So anyway, don't assume that just because I feel that black people should not have special rights and that all people should be treated the same regardless of skin color that I've never been in a minority situation. I've also been in other countries and much more than what I've stated here. If it wasn't for the fact that I've been on both sides of the situation I might in fact have a similar view as you. Now I've never made any assumptions about you and what background you have so don't do that about others. I should not have had to give my background information in order to justify my views.

    I sincerely apologize. I thought that if I was right it would be convincing. A bit of confirmation bias. But I stand by what I said.

    I don't either. Neither does Radaboy. What we're talking about has nothing to do with giving a person who assaulted someone on a bus special rights.

    With that settled, back to the important thing. The assault that took place by whatever person on a bus that felt that he shouldn't have to pay and probably felt he was entitled to special rights. That and Shyflutter who did nothing wrong but needs more cider.
