Imagine that video and being pro-black kid and anti-white kid being the hill you want to die on.

First, this is what's wrong with seeing a video. You can only form an opinion based on what you see, but what happened before and after?

There was a reason that happened. There was a reason the other kids were all around and recording it. Something happened. The black kid could have said "he went into the bathroom, I am going to go in there and hit him (for no reason)" or something could have happened and what the black kid did was a reaction (I am not saying the white kid saying something to the black kid is a justified reason to do what he did, but we are dealing with teenagers).

Its just that you can't assume that it was simply a black kid doing what was done in the video to a white kid simply because the kid is white.

Teenagers are idiots, they do stupid shite. Does it suck? Yes. And I understand as parents you want to protect your kids, but I think one of the best ways to protect them is to make sure they can protect themselves.
