Sadly people think that they can use the bi-polar excuse for bad behavior when in fact it is just bad behavior and nothing else. There are levels of bi-polar. I knew someone who was taking drugs not for bi-polar but ended up being diagnosed as bi-polar because of her behavior/reaction to the drugs. When she stopped taking the various drugs all the bi-polar "signs" went away.
Obviously your friend was on the extreme end of bi-polar and must have been off his meds.
I don't think this woman is bi-polar, but now she has given racists an excuse for their bad behavior.
He was.....one was lithium....he said it slowed him down....but, it was supposed to.
He was in and out of lock up hospitals his whole adult life.
Doesn't this video imply that this woman is representative of all white people? Even if it doesn't, there is some very significant propaganda effect here. This is not even arguable by the viral reaction of the video.
No, it implies that she is representative of her own crazy self.
No, it implies that she is representative of her own crazy self.
Exactly! Just as the fool ( my opinion) in the car was representative of HIMSELF, not all black people.
They were both fools, IMO, because EITHER could have defused the situation by simply leaving! SHE could have walked away at any time, HE could have driven away at any time.
However, they BOTH chose to stay and escalate the confrontation.
They were both incredibly foolish, IMO!
I'd happily call you whatever name I feel you deserved to be called to your face. And you'd slink away. I'll leave it at that.
Confidence is a good thing. I can dig it.
The N word (the word you're actually talking about without coming right out and saying so)? Nah...you ain't cut like that.
I'll leave it at that.

Wake up, smell the coffee, and see the light. Racism, to a BLACK man, is alive and well. Never changed, never went anywhere, never disappeared. It is just as bad in 2014 as it was 1960. As a white person, you don't see it; however, its there. It "maybe" hidden a tad, however, it is there.
Yeah...although I don't think racism is a major problem anymore, there's no doubt that it's still lingering around.
What what I see both are equally to blame. Both could have walked away at any time. He used the N word many more times than her, and he seemed to enjoy provoking her. Two immature children taunting each other..
The man in the car is not to blame. She verbally assaulted him, and he repeated it. She go offended by what she herself had said. Him using the "N word" more is also irrelevant. He was only saying it to repeat what she had said. And really, who was using it in a worse way? The man sitting in his car, or the lunatic shouting it with her kids nearby.
I honestly am more concerned for those kids. They have a terrible mother. Maybe the dad is a more rational person? I can only hope. But those kids are in a seriously bad position.
Also, many people walked by, none of them tried to stop it. Why? Surely someone could see what was happening was completely unreasonable.
Boom, doing exactly what he says "nobody" is doing.
Oh, you're right. I am wrong.
Nobody but himself is trying to make him look bad. So you are right, there was one person.
Apologies.
