Drunk White Male called a black man the N-word and got an unexpected reaction

A black passenger was verbally attacked on Chicago train by the white passenger, who reportedly called him “NI***R”. 

A video of this incident that was captured by @raresoulx went viral after he posted it on twitter. According to  @raresoulx, who witnessed what happened on the train, a white male started to call an elderly black  man racial slurs and epithets . This continued for 15 minutes until black man understood he could not take it any longer.

The next time white people would think it is appropriate to call black people NI***RS they can remember this.

If you abuse black person don’t forget that we can fight back.

On Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2015, Serena Williams gave one powerhouse of a speech at the Sportsperson of the Year awards ceremony.

It’s the type of speech that’ll inspire you to get up and start checking things off that long-neglected to-do list. It’s the type of speech that sounds like it belongs in a commercial for something ungodly expensive. It’s the type of speech that’ll make you want to be a better you.

It’s the type of speech that stresses the message that yes, sometimes things in life are stacked against you, but no, that doesn’t mean you’re doomed to failure. You, like Serena, can overcome.

You can watch the full speech here.

Okay but after seeing this I started doing it too and it’s amazing how many men I’ve run into bc they expected me to move

Gotta try it

I work (and walk) on a college campus. I’ve lost count of how many men I’ve smacked shoulders with.

[emmagrant01]

Recently, I was standing outside my son’s classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didn’t; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadn’t leapt out of his manly path.

Now I’m wishing I’d leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, “My Liege!”

I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.

Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where I’m the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.

Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friend’s medication, and I didn’t understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literally—one guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because that’s just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.

I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought I’d had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.

I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I “looked like a soldier.” I’m not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.

Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

California Governor Jerry Brown gives Republican hopeful Ben Carson a heaping helping of STFU regarding Ben’s moronic denial of climate change. “There is no overwhelming science” claims Ben, just the 30,000 scientific papers he decided to forget to prove he is willfully ignorant enough for conservatives.

“And you’ve said you’re neither one gender nor the other, too.” “I feel like I’m neither, yeah. Well, if I had to choose it would be a boy, a guy. I feel like I’m a boy, but I don’t feel like I should’ve been born with different parts of my body or anything like that. I feel like it’s just all in how I dress and how I talk and how I look and feel, and that makes me happy.” -Ruby Rose
