All 5 assailants were minorities that pulled the race card after the fact.

Which had nothing to do with your original stance or comments...as the bolded portion had not yet occurred at that time.

I based my assumption of their race on their appearance in the video where they IMO look dark skinned.

If saying this doesnt make you feel uncomfortable you are on a level that will be hard to reach.

I at least appreciate this

On this site/board any use of terminology to describe a non Caucasian makes me uncomfortable in general.

However, I have no idea why you think it would make me uncomfortable to say they looked African American or black (the race) because their arms and legs in the video were black (the color) or at least dark brown. Just like the ref looked white (the race) because his skin was off white(the color). Maybe my eyes deceived me. Maybe they were wearing leggings and sleeves which seems popular now days even in scorching heat. I was wrong. I have no problems admitting that.
