      You should read this @laurawags essay. We’ve had two years with Trump, and too many folks are still unwilling to call out racist bullying. On video! If you need to experience this to recognize it, we are in trouble. http://deadsp.in/CZdFhzn

          A 16 year old white boy was waiting for a bus, someone walked up to him and beat a drum in his face. He did not react. For this you and your buddies called for violence on him. His family has been bombarded by death threats. Do you have a single shred of decency in your soul?

          Context does helps in these matters. If it was just a boy in front of him smiling, your argument would have merit Standing in front of him, smirking with a mob of unruly boys encircling them & yelling 'build the wall', 'it's not rape if you enjoy it' etc. is something different

          Context does matter -- that's why this excerpted clip is manipulative and misleading. Your rationalization is based in partial information and has no merit. Examining any of the longer videos could be helpful for you.
