You said nothing of how the person taking the video was encouraging racial violence, nothing of how they stole his bag and nothing of how they continued to belittle him while he was discussing plans for his mother’s funeral. You divorced Jacksons friends from the entire altercation, omitting the fact that they were involved in the theft and in inciting the incident in the first place. And then you say that “finally the younger man struck him” as if it was as inevitable as rain that Bruso be attacked. There was no reason nor justification for that first blow, but Bruso made sure that there wouldn’t be any more. And that is why he’s gotten the publicity he has.

Furthermore, you shared absolutely no facts about Jackson. And yet you give height and weight figures of Bruso as if he was the one entirely responsible for the whole incident. When no one was arrested. Your presentation exudes bias against Bruso.

Admitted, Bruso carries much of that casual racism from earlier years in his speech, but his attitude was not that of someone wanting to demean someone else. He simply doesn’t realize that those terms are nowadays considered offensive. Although I doubt that you’re capable enough of reading between the lines to realize that.

I would expect an apology for biased writing like this from an honest man. From the fact that you’re attempting to cover your bias up, I’m not even certain that you’ll let this comment through. I guess we’ll see how honest you really are.

For instance, why weren’t the racial slurs from the black camerawoman mentioned?
