    If you’ve been following the news recently, there was a big racially motivated fight at the boat docks. Some white people attacked a black dock worker. And it escalated into a major brawl when a buch of black passengers on an arriving ferry boat joined the fight to protect the dock worker.

    One of the black passengers grabbed a folding chair and bonked several white people on the head with a folding chair before being apprehended by police.

      Was it racially motivated? It looked to me like drunk frat bros, parked their pontoon where the river ferry was meant to dock, and the dock worker untied their pontoon and pushed it off the dock.

      I’m not saying there were no racists, just that I don’t think there was anything indicating that it was racially.motivated. But then again maybe I have bad Intel.
