I was the one who brought up the Purple Drank. It was brought up only in the context that the guy in the video may be intoxicated so that should be taken into account when considering his version of events.

Somehow that makes me a damn racist.

I don't think people are trying to discredit his account as opposed to not believing at face value anyone that puts a video on YouTube.

This frickwad comes in crying racism because someone made an observation.


It's not just the purple drank ordeal.

Just comments like asking if the guy speaks English or writing in "ebonics" to poke fun at the stereotypical black person from the hood just exudes ignorance, especially when all reports of this kid's character have been the opposite. It's just disrespectful.

IMO IDC what he's drinking. I was just arguing that purple drink can be any color



I watched the video and it seems like the guy isw really heartfelt about what he's telling his friends. It's like hanging out at the bar at happy hour and getting someone's version of a story second-hand.

Doesn't seem like he's all "Kill all the fricking cops. We burning this shite to the ground."

He was actually pretty calm. Just relaying a story to his friends.

I was asking if a poster spoke English because what he wrote made zero sense.

And yes, typing in Ebonics should be mocked. It's horrible and difficult to understand.

I could pretty much understand the guy in the video though.

According to business owner on radio, some looters actually returned some tires today. Don't even know what to say about that.


I have to think these may be some of the people that just got caught up in what was going on and realized their error later on.

Mob mentality can make people do things they may not otherwise.

I have a bad feeling this shite is going to continue as soon as the Sun sets. Especially with the Black Panthers in town to stir shite up.

Lord/budha/ali baba/who ever, help the ferguson people, they are going to need it

Maybe this time "la resistance" will be prepared and ready to light shite up.



I kind of want to see some of these "protestors" try to light something on fire only to have it blow up on them.

Maybe they'll just enjoy the Earth Wind and Fire concert at Peabody tonight and everything will blow over.

there was a guy who got busted at Hibbets, who looked like he regretted everything he did and realized getting caught up in mob mentality is going to cost him $$ and possibly jail time. U could see it, he had that, " What the frick did i just do"? look.

I wasn't saying it as a bad thing. If he was drunk beforehand, his story should be discredited or called into question or whatever you want to say. As for posting it on youtube, yeah, I understand not taking it at face value, but I thought the talk was about him drinking.

I got little doubt. Maybe/hopefully not as bad, but I don't think it's going away anytime soon.

2. You are also very ignorant if you also don't feel that most of these comments, especially when used in the way that they are, are not racist.


Which ones specifically?


Being observational, realistic and not PC does not equal "racism".

That word has lost it's edge with overuse.

Reedus was there any actual conformation that they had called the national guard to be ready in case they needed them?

I'm not saying him specifically. More about the information in general, from both sides.

Beware of an agenda from every angle and the whole truth from few.
