2 sides to every story :)

[downepinoi2279]

youre right.. there are two sides to every story... but my side is the one where i was the victim. its not much fun when youre walking to your car and you hear this idiot talking shit to you for no reason; especially a stranger you know nothing about.

like i said, i dont CONDONE bigotry. I had to respond, then he attacks me with a knife?!

point is, YES, there still are bigoted, racist people out there... this was my encounter.

[isselman2000]

Those cuts looks terrible. I really feel bad for you!

[downepinoi2279]

they're just a few cuts... lucky it wasnt worse... shit happens.

to go further, i used that verse to play the "righteous" person. i was merely protecting my basic human rights. to be able to walk to my car without having to deal with bigotry, hate, prejudice.if he was then able to express his opinion openly, then i should as well. yes, i responded to him and we had a verbal altercation. so then when the mere filipino was able to put him in place. he pulls a knife and starts swinging? really? was i wrong to respond? of course! i didnt know he had a knife!

[downepinoi2279]

no.you got it all wrong. if i was to break down the whole video and explain. then it defeats the purpose of putting the video up itself. i think i went straight to the point when i created this. that, racism still exist in modern america. rightfully, i shouldnt play the role of the victim. i dont expect any pity from anyone who has seen this video nor did i seek it while i created this. in a sense, this was just a rant of a situation that happened.

Correct me if I'm wrong. You consider yourself as one of the "honest" people being talked about in the verse?

[MDJianoran]

I'm not the one who used that verse =P

You replied to the wrong person xD

[whopassedthegas]

You're right. You're totally, completely right. :)

[MDJianoran]

To be honest, I don't think you should offer your opinions if you haven't suffered from Racism 1st hand.

This video shows the one of the cruelties of racism.

What do you expect us to comment?

We feel sympathy for this guy so we post comments against his attackers.

You shouldn't get involved in this topic if you're lucky enough to have never be a victim of it.

[MDJianoran]

How can one stay calm when they know someone is suffering!?

Are you calling me stupid?

"Sticks and stones can break my bones but your words will never hurt me"

For me. It was always words.. and sometimes a fight.

But this guy actually suffered from the "Sticks and Stones" part.

Did you even watch the video? Didn't you see the cuts he suffered!?

"Stupid people express their anger openly, but sensible people hold it back"

Proverbs 29:11

When I first encountered the verse, I thought that the verse was about keeping the pain inside. Really, it's not.

Getting angry is futile. Getting angry won't do anything. Sure, doing nothing won't get you anywhere either. But if you think about it, getting angry actually makes it worse. I don't know how much it must hurt to be mocked, ridiculed, etc. for the color of your skin or whatever. I probably won't ever know. But the Bible says...

[whopassedthegas]

God let these people do these? God gave us the freedom. Others abuse it. As cheesy or tawdry as it may sound, God IS up there. You don't have to curse. Or at least curse at these people. I know, I don't have any right to tell you (or downepinoi2279) not to because I've never been a victim (I live in the Philippines. I'm a Filipino/Filipina. How can I encounter a racist? XD).
