Er, I meant it's not a big deal whether or not you tell me what you'd do in the opposite circumstance.Why does what a few cops do stir so much emotion in people? To my knowledge cops don't want black people dead. Was there a movement or something I'm not aware of?
Because when cops think they're the judges and get to be executors too, it creates a problem.
I think there are enough videos of cops killing minorities for no apparent reason, for this to address itself.

This does stir an emotion, but mostly laughter. You say what "thread" does one black guy advocating this have. I'm assuming you meant "threat", correct? To which this definitely wasn't about feeling threatened. I don't doubt some people are truly pissed, but it's just amusing to me.
Amusement? Is it because you feel so superior to black people? Do you look down on them, too? I personally had no emotion when watching the video,why is that? I asked myself. Well I think it's because I'm not racist, I don't see skin color and judge; this is what I concluded.
But you felt amusement as someone with different skin color advocated your death, that's interesting.

That and the fact, like you said, if whites did this they'd be labeled racist and there would be protests on campus. So I suppose the hypocrisy does irk me.
Oh please, do you really want pity? Do you want people to defend you like they defend them? To my understanding, only the weak and the voiceless need defending.

These two specific clowns? No. Maybe it's because they just sounded so asinine in saying it. Maybe because the argument is just so utterly..out there. I'm sorry, I can't take these specific people seriously. I just can't get mad at this specific thing. Like I said the hypocrisy yes, but that's a separate issue from what goes on here in this video.
It was actually just one of them, mate. Don't get ahead of yourself. Regardless, I advise you don't take what young adults say in the heat of a debate to seriously.

Perhaps in a different format and if they didn't just sound so silly and stupid while saying it..it might tick me off I guess? Like someone just making a video saying "f*ck you white people, kill yourself" then I wouldn't be amused.I legitimately find this to be great. I love the fact it was caught on video and I love the fact it happened at Harvard.
Again, people say stupid things in an argument when they're losing. I doubt the guy even knew what he was saying by the apparent hard time he was having articulating his argument and points.
