In this case, for some there, it was accurate. I guess an apology for accusing him of promoting racial stereotypes would be nice.

If it is a stereotype, it is one that the small crowd around the dread in the white robe successfully demonstrated. Im not bashing alcohol or marijuana consumption. We are just pointing out these are the actions they were taking publicly in full view of the camera they themselves were streaming from.

Congrats? They were passing around a bottle of Hennessy and smoking blunts. And as far as Colt 45, the guys I knew in high school from the hood all drink Private Stock or St Ides.
There were 4-500 people.
Sorry man, this time you just showed you think people who drink Hennessy are black. As racist as your buddy in this thread.

you will notice the words that I typed, and not the ones you imagined, say the following:

For some, but not all?
He said 4-500 people.
Sounds like a very broad statement, not just directed at the "dread" drinking a bottle and a few ladies smoking a spliff.
I stand by my statement.
Why are you quoting the "dread" as if it is another racial stereotype being used?
Did you watch the live feed?
The guy had long dreadlocks, drinking his bottle, and using the N-word like it was a conjunction.
I think someone like you needs to look closely in the mirror and take stock of what is truly inside. From here, it does not look pretty.
But, that's my opinion from actually watching the live feed and seeing for myself. Not just dropping into a thread with zero knowledge, and attacking people for reporting the truth because it offends you.

I put in quotes because that was the word used. I'm not even sure what context it was used. How did you come to the conclusion that I quoted it to imply a racial stereotype?
Did you watch the live feed?
No. That is why I asked if the KKK showed-up.
The guy had long dreadlocks, drinking his bottle, and using the N-word like it was a conjunction.
I assumed that was what was meant.

That doesn't make much sense. Should I take a deep look inside because I didn't watch the live stream? Because I do not have dreads?
Or are you just trying to take a pot-shot at me for no logical reason?

Calling 4-500 people lazy and implying they are leaving because the Hennessy and weed ran out deserves an attack. He was pushing a racial stereotype on the entire group, that is not proven by the live feed, and you are defending that ignorance.
The only one defending ignorance is you here. Since you had no idea what went on there right? There were a large group (est, 4-500 by him) all hanging out in the park, singing, dancing, playing music.
This in a Friday, when most people are working (was it a local holiday? Did they call in sick? Did they take a vacation day?)
Then near the end of the day, they started moving along the streets, shouting and chanting, sometimes about burning down the prison there, sometimes equating the police with the Klan, sometimes it was (for me) totally gibberish and not understandable.
Then the police arrived to disperse everyone. Most went away, but the hard-core thugs remained chanting threats to the police and a few challenging them. Openly drinking and smoking weed in public.

Ok. What evidence was provided by the live stream that they are all lazy, drinking Hennessy and smoking blunts?

Exactly. You don't know. But you defend someone that assumed they were lazy.
Then near the end of the day, they started moving along the streets, shouting and chanting, sometimes about burning down the prison there, sometimes equating the police with the Klan, sometimes it was (for me) totally gibberish and not understandable.
So they were talking about burning stuff, but not actually burning blunts? Noted.
Then the police arrived to disperse everyone. Most went away, but the hard-core thugs remained chanting threats to the police and a few challenging them. Openly drinking and smoking weed in public.
So not all 4-500 of them? Again, noted.
