White people (myself included): do better. You have to confront this in your own families, at work, and among friends. Unless you follow my rule and aren't friends with racists.

We cant blame white people for the racism, we can only blame the individual racists. There are racists in all communities, they will be silenced once they realise its socially unacceptable. Youre an honourable person for that gesture btw

And that's exactly it. We have to make it socially unacceptable even in private white spaces.

Thank you for covering this. I commend this young man for being no confrontational and being wise enough to not escalate a situation with a deranged person, but it is awful that he was put in the situation in the first place. The overwhelming racism in this country must end.

This woman is lucky. Most kids would not ‘turn the other cheek.’ He has every right to defend himself from attack. And his parents showed great poise, most mothers would have come after that racist offender. This will continue when a racist is in the WH.

I just read a CBS story on the 90 year Mexican that was attacked with a brick. There was nothing about the attacker’s race. Why, CBS?

Racists can be seen really well on Twitter, they stick out. We see you.

I admire this young man’s demeanor. That woman’s behavior was pathetic. And it is shameful that no one stood up for this respectful teenager at the time this assault occurred.

Great job on the teens side for NOT acting out like the ignorant adult did. You will go far in life if you continue to act like the man you are becoming. Good luck son.
